Dear Humayun Peerzade,

For me, Kudachi was always a station that we passed through while going to Dharwad from Mumbai. Your short film gave lenghty insight into the sufi past of the town. Good work - Manish Desai, Mumbai

SHukriya Azeez Sahab for visiting youtube and watching the video .... I made this video for the same reason which you have mentioned. There are so many sons of Kudachi who are staying far away from their hometown .. this video is just for them to see feel nostalgic.

Please spread this video to other brothers of ours.
