However, Ratus primarily gained recognition as a writer of Konkani plays, tiatros or tiatrs (a popular form of Goan musical theater), and stories.
[3] Writer Andrew Viegas, in an article for the publication Goa World, commended the performances delivered by Ratus and James Braganza in the film Mogacho Aunddo.
The film was created and directed by Al Jerry Braganza, with production under the ETICA Pictures banner, which stands for Exchange Talkies of India, China, and Africa.
In addition to its premiere in Goa, Mogacho Aunddo was screened at venues in Bombay, including Rivoli (Matunga), Liberty (Fort area), and Star (Mazgaon).
Mazarello reveals that Ratus primarily pursued a career as an English teacher in Bombay and participated in the Konkani film and theater industry as a secondary pursuit.
[1] Additional insights into Ratus's life can be gleaned from an original telegram he sent to Lilian De Souza of Karachi on 21 March 1956, revealing his residence at 12, Chapel Road, Bandra in Bombay, Maharashtra.
