Konkani dramas and musical shows in Kuwait are few and far between, but they are definitely staged with the same love, vigour and passion as they are staged in Goa.

There may be loads of difficulties to organize a show in Kuwait but hard-working and enthusiastic directors manage to stage their shows nonetheless, thereby keeping the flag of Konkani flying high.

The show, 7th annual event of KKM, is supported by a number of well-wishers and lovers of Konkani art in Kuwait.
