Amet Asal Eemet Kusal' hits silver screen

May 4, 2012
Mangalore, May 4: Much awaited Tulu movie 'Amet Asal Eemet Kusal, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, hit the silver screen on Friday.

Set in the backdrop of Tulunadu, the movie has been made to suit the local audience.

At the Central Talkies in city, where the movie was released Director Ranjan Raghu Shetty, said: “The film gives prominence to comedy. The entire theme of the Shakespeare's play has been localized. The characterization and the treatment of the story were carefully done to make it more appealing for the audience of Tulunadu."

The film was shot at different locations in Falnir, Dakke, Kaikamba, Kadri Park, Padavu Choutara Mane (a Tuluva ancestral house) in Bikarnakatte and a few places in Mumbai.

In a first in the history of Tulu cinema two lead actors have don dual roles in Amet Asal Eemet Kusal. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth. Noted Tulu actors Naveen D Padeel and Jyothish Shetty will essay the roles of identical twins.

Ranjan, who had bagged the gold medal in Nokia Mobile Film Making Competition, said that he made the film as he was attracted towards Tulu language and culture.

The star cast includes Bhojraj Vamanjoor, Saikrishna, Sadashiva Ameen, Naveen Shetty, Gopal Salian, Udaykumar Uppinangadi, Bhaskar Adyappadi, Umesh Ameen, Sudheer Kottari, Ranjan Bolar, Akshatha Marla, Sukanya Rai, Saritha Shetty and Shilpa Kotian.

Vijayakumar Kodialbail and M Saikrishna have written the dialogues. While Akash Prajapathi from Mumbai did the music, Tulu poet and actor Shashiraj Rao Kavoor wrote lyrics.

Raghu Shetty had done a course in direction at Subhash Ghai's Whistiling Woods.

Mangaluru/ Bengaluru, May 10: Nearly 11,000 non-resident Kannadigas who are seeking repatriation from various countries across the world should be ready to shell out a huge amount for a two-week private quarantine in Karnataka before reaching their home.

The Kannadigas stranded in Gulf countries including UAE and Saudi Arabia have already expressed shock over the high airfare for repatriation during coronavirus lockdown. Another shocker is heavy quarantine fee once they reach their home state.

Officials in Mangaluru and Bengaluru have confirmed that administration has fixed charges for quarantine facilities starting from Rs 1,200 up to Rs 4,500, including food per day. 14 day quarantine will be mandatory for all healthy and asymptomatic international passengers. Hence, they should be ready to pay Rs 16,800  to Rs 63,000.

The other option is government quarantine centres: hostels run by social welfare, backward classes welfare and minority welfare departments but they are far from satisfactory. This is in stark contrast to the plush government quarantine facilities in Kerala.

In Mangaluru

The first repatriation flight to Mangaluru International Airport is expected to land on Tuesday, May 12 from Dubai.

The quarantine facilities include lodges, hostels and service apartments. Rates are fixed based on four categories: basic, economy, medium and premium. The basic facilities are mainly hostels of educational institutions, and the rest are budget and star hotels, said Rahul Shinde, probationary IAS officer, who is In-charge of the quarantine facilities for those being repatriated.

In Bengaluru

As many as 350 international passengers are set to arrive in Bengaluru at 3 am on Monday, May 11. So far, nobody has opted for government quarantine facilities, according to Lakshman Reddy, Joint Director, Social Welfare Department.

In Bengaluru, there are 55 hostels of the social welfare department, 51 of the backward classes welfare department and 12 of the minority welfare department. “We provide them with three square meals a day,” he added.
