Aleesha is the first Konkani celluloid film after a pretty long time and it was premiered at the 35th International Film Festival of India held in Panaji last year.
The film stars, Tapan Acharya and Priyanka Bidye in the lead and gives a strong message for environment protection.
The producer and director of the film, Mr Rajendra Talak said he was thrilled upon hearing the news that his film has been selected for the National Award for Best Film in Konkani.
Mr Talak said it was a great honour bestowed on Konkani language and that he could produced Aleesha only because IFFI was held in Goa.
He said that the award for Aleesha has proved that Goa can produce quality films.
Mr Talak said the state government should formulate a scheme for financing Konkani films in Goa.
Mr Talak also thanked the technical staff and the artistes without whose support, he said the film would not have been possible.
