Nachom-ia Kumpasar ('Let's dance to the rhythm'), is a Konkani film. It is based on the lives of two jazz musicians, Chris Perry and Lorna. The film, which takes its title from the name of a song by the two artists, was directed by Bardroy Barretto. It stars Vijay Maurya and Palomi Ghosh in the lead roles. The story is told through over 20 popular Konkani songs from the 1960s and 1970s that have been re-recorded for this film. The film is set in the 1960s and is a tribute to the 'unsung' Konkani musicians of that era.

"Loosely based on the lives of musicians Chris Perry and Lorna Cordeiro, Nachom-ia Kumpasar celebrates the jazz scene of Goa in the 1960s with a beautifully executed score based on songs by Perry. Save for slightly inauthentic Konkani accents, under Bardroy Barretto's excellent direction, Vijay Maurya and Palomi Ghosh deliver solid performances as Lawrence Vaz an Dona Pereira, the cinematic stand-ins for Chris and Lorna. Prince Jacob as Logic, the band manager, provides comedic relief from their star-crossed romance. Shot beautifully by Suhas Gujarathi and with jaw-dropping National Award-wining production design by Aparna Raina, Nachom-ia Kumpasar is a powerful exploration of love, music and the inextricable connection between the two."
