Ester Noronha, a beauty with brains, celebrates her remarkable day in the cinema industry on November 17th. Her latest project, “The Vacant House,” in which she serves as the director, lead actor, and music scorer, is making its way to screens throughout Karnataka.
Ester Noronha’s versatility extends beyond glamorous roles. She showcased her talent in a subtle role alongside the national award-winning actor Sanchari Vijay in “Lanke.” Her filmography includes several notable works such as “Navika,” “Athiratha,” “Nugge Kayi,” “Local Train,” and “Inamdar.” What makes “The Vacant House” particularly special is that she not only acts but also directs and scores music for it, while her mother, Janet Noronha, is the producer.
During a media address before the film’s release, Ester Noronha emphasized that “The Vacant House” is not just a horror film; it intricately connects with the contemporary generation through its portrayal of a vacant house. The narrative is filled with love and emotion. Ester, who has a background in singing for eight years, found her way into the entertainment industry through music, which gave her the confidence to score the film’s music. The runtime of “The Vacant House” is 140 minutes (2 hours and 20 minutes), and Ester assured there are no dull moments.
The film’s trailer and songs have instilled confidence in the entire team. “The Vacant House” has been released in both Kannada and Konkani languages. Narendra Gowda served as the cinematographer, and Vijay Raj as the editor. The film was entirely shot in Mangaluru, predominantly around the backdrop of a vacant house.
Ester Noronha has a commendable track record in the film industry, starting with her debut in Sandalwood through “Usirigintha Neene Hattira.” She has formal acting training from the Anupam Kher acting school and has ventured into Telugu and Tulu language films. The establishment of her production house, “Ester Noronha Production,” marks another significant milestone in the career of this talented actress.
