    Production of good movies and releasing them in a timely manner will always be rewarded with good results. The Diocese of Udipi under the leadership of Bishop Gerald will also earn the results thru the monetary benefits. Eventually, many of these movies will have to be converted into dvds so as to attract greater sale and greater monetary benefits.

    Good movies can always be scripted in different languages and could always be released thru televisions. We were recently in the Persian Gulf region where we witnessed so many Hindi movies synchronized into Arabic script. Very interesting move that will benefit the movie producers and also movie watchers.

    wThe world is changing, and changing fast. So many cultures and languages can be amalgamated in order to suit varied cultures and languages. This is the best way to reduce the barriers of culture, language and even religion.

    We wish best of success to Konkany movie "Passport" that was the maiden attempt of Udipi Diocese.
