STUDIO 3 ART GALLERY
PRESENTS “DIVINE INTERVENTION”
Soulful Narratives by G. Subramanian and P. Gnana
Date – 13th January 2020 Monday till 19th January 2020 Sunday
Time- 5:00 pm onwards
Venue- Jehangir Art Gallery, Gallery 4 – 161B, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai
For all the avid art lovers in Mumbai “Divine Intervention” is an art Exhibition that will let you have a rare access of series of artworks by internationally acclaimed artists — Subramanian Gopalsamy and Gnanadickam Ponnusamy
Actress Kajal Aggarwal visited the exhibition.She was praises for both Subramanian Gopalsamy and Gnanadickam Ponnusamy, their work & their painting. 
13th January, 2020 in Mumbai- Great art has always been more concerned with perception or vision than the accuracy of depiction-breaking new grounds in some way, influencing, inspiring and setting new standards. With an extremely powerful impression of an individualistic mind and style which are embodied deeply in these greatly talented and eclectic artists- Subramanian Gopalsamy and Gnanadickam Ponnusamy will use the power of the visual image to ignite imaginations, evoke emotions and capture universal cultural truths and aspirations. 
The alluring simple yet soulful divine collection ‘DIVINE INTERVENTION’ by effervescent creators’ will take you on a spectacular visual journey that cherishes devotion to the sublime.
G. Subramanian art is characterised by bursts of joyous colour and richly detailed yet essentially simple figures inspired by children’s perception and Impressionist masters. P. Gnana’s signature style favours elongated forms.
About Subramanian Gopalsamy – It is believed that with loss that a new life begins. As young artists in the city G. Subramanian was carving a niche for himself as a decorative painter, when his only daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Her passing away shattered all possibilities and his life came to a standstill. He went on a spiritual journey in search of answers, yet his life seemed blurry. His reverie was broken when he won a gold medal in art competition , which led him to take art classes for children. He visited the Sistine chapel in Italy , and while facing the Michelangelo’s masterpiece , he found his path and a whole new meaning to his life. 
Subramanian Gopalsamy said ‘I started working on images of god, goddesses, parrots, flowers like the lotus and the smiling face of my daughter always find a place in my art. These subjects come naturally to me. The mythological images like Buddha, Ganesha, Krishna and Saraswati come from my childhood memories growing up in coastal village listening to mythological stories narrated by the elders. My daughter loved birds and the parrot was her favourite, so all my paintings will depict one. The inspiration and spark behind my art is the smile of my daughter. For me texture is very important and it helps me connect with the viewers. I want looking at my art to not only understand the emotion behind it but to also feel it”
Born in 1952 in Tamil Nadu G. Subramanian’s work is inspired by innocence and divine beauty in a child’s face and the power of Indian mythology. He graduated in fine arts from the government college of arts and craft in Chennai. His works are a part of lalit kala academy in New Delhi. South side gallery, Edinburg, UK and The World Bank in Chennai. His multi layered collages reinterpret the printed images and texts from popular magazines and abstract background highlighting the complex imagery. He makes use of his experience as graphic designer in the play with images
About Gnanadickam Ponnusamy- P. Gnana paints, sculpts and creates conceptual installations, as one of Singapore’s leading artists. Indeed, he has obtained a highly-captivated audience in the Lion City and internationally, for the aesthetic and conceptual niche that he has created for himself within the ever-competitive dynamics and economics of urban art-making. This, he continues to achieve, by constantly counter-challenging or taming the forces that urge him to dispel his obsessive fascination towards the cow, a recurring symbol in his art since the last 9 years of his 25-year career as an artist.
It is a fact that exemplary paintings by Gnana are also in the collections of the former President of the Republic of Singapore, of the Singapore Art Museum of the National Heritage Board and of the current Ambassador of India to the United Arab Emirates.
Gnana is a recipient of the LASALLE Scholarship of the LASALLE College of the Arts(Singapore), from where he received his formal training in the art of painting. He was granted the honour of being selected (in 2005) to undertake a project commissioned by Singapore’s Ascendas to create fourteen large-scaled paintings within an abstract expressionistic motivation for the International Tech park in Chennai (India). In 2013, one of Gnana’s monumental larger-than-life sculptures under the Incarnation series(made from recycled/ found materials) was acquired by the National Parks board(Singapore) to display at the Fort Canning Park Singapore.
Gnana is also an active member of the Sculpture Society (Singapore) and the Singapore Art Society. In addition, his painting have been successfully auctioned by the Masterpiece auction House. Gnana made his debut in New York in 2011 and he continues to present his work via prestigious exhibitions in Singapore like Art Stage and Dubai at the world Art Dubai, and Malaysia at the Art Expo Malaysia including selected.

नव्या वर्षात सध्या ‘हव्वा’ फक्त अभिनेत्री सई ताम्हणकरचीच होताना दिसतेय. ‘धुरळा’ सिनेमातल्या दमदार अभिनयाने सई ताम्हणकरने 2020ची सुरूवात धमाकेदार केल्यावर आता सई धुरळा सिनेमासह कतारमधल्या सिनेरसिकांची मनं जिंकायला पोहोचतेय.

सूत्रांच्यानूसार, सई ताम्हणकर ही एकमेव अभिनेत्री आहे, जी मराठी सिनेमाची आंतरराष्ट्रीय आइकन आहे. तिची ग्लोबली फॅनफॉलोविंग आहे. त्यामूळे कतारला सिनेमा पोहचताना तिथल्या सिनेरसिकांकडून सई ताम्हणकरला उपस्थित राहायचे आग्रहाचे निमंत्रण करण्यात आले आणि त्या विनंतीला मान देऊन सई कतारला जाणारे आहे.

Veteran Writer Rakesh Bharti, original writer and right holder of Laxmi Agarwal’s lifestory, moves HC against ‘Chhapaak’ in copyright violation case
Veteran writer Rakesh Bharti has approached the Bombay High Court against Deepika Padukone-starrer “Chhapaak”, claiming he originally penned an acid attack survivor’s story on which the film is based.
The petitioner, Rakesh Bharti, has sought that he should be given credit as one of the writers of the film.
The suit filed by Bharti claimed that he had conceived an idea/script for a movie, tentatively titled ‘Black Day’, and got it registered with the Indian Motion Pictures Producers’ Association (IMPPA) in February 2015.
Bharti said since then he has been working on the script and approaching several artists and producers, including Fox Star Studio, for narration.
“However, the project could not commence due to unavoidable circumstances. The plaintiff had narrated the idea to Fox Star Studio, which is the production house for ‘Chhapaak’,” the plea said.
Bharti’s advocate Ashok Saraogi said the plaintiff later came to know that an identical film is being produced by the defendants (Fox Star Studio and others) and directed by Meghna Gulzar.
Bharti submitted complaints to the producers but did not get any reply following which he approached the high court.
In his plea, Bharti has sought that he be given credit as one of the writers of the movie ‘Chhapaak’ and the film’s release be stayed until due credit is given to him.
He has also sought for an expert to be appointed to compare his script and that of ‘Chhapaak’.
Saraogi said the plea will be heard by a vacation bench of the high court on January 7.
‘Chhapaak’, based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, stars Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey. It is slated for release on January 10, 2020.

While Hotel Mumbai, the Hollywood movie that recreated the terrorising event of 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, got critically appreciated, the one thing thing that also stayed with people was patriotic song which, after Jai ho, is sure to be the next most played patriotic number of recent times.
This cross over cinema’s patriotic song, Humein Bharat Kehte Hain happens to be composed by musical brother duo Sunny and Inder Bawra and they still can’t believe the song is really working that well with people. “We have worked really hard on this track and usually when it isn’t an item number or a peppy, romantic or upbeat one, you don’t expect the song to pick up this easily. But Humein Bharat Kehte Hain turned out to be an anomaly which pleasantly surprised us. The lyrics written by Kumaarji made this song doubly special because you really have to have the right words when it comes to writing a song for our mother country!” says Sunny Inder.
Hailing from a humble background in Bathinda, Punjab, this composer duo haven’t had their success easy. “We moved to Mumbai in 2000 and after a struggle for either years, we got our first break with mythological TV Series Jai Shri Krishna on Colors! That changed things for us and we eventually went onto do 50 Tv shows and earned our space in the television industry. Our most acclaimed work in the small screen still remains Devon Ke Dev Mahadev.” says Inder while further added, “But movies were still a distant dream till we met Mr. Vikram Bhatt who gave a break in Ankur Arora Murder Case. The music worked well in the film and we later went onto do Hate Story Series Background score with our dear friend Director Vishal Pandya along with Wajah Tum Ho.”
“Work eventually started trickling in along with recognition in the industry. We were approached by Mr. Nishikant Kamath and Mr. John Abraham for Rocky Handsome, Madaari and later also did a song in Badhaai Ho lyrics by one of the best Lyricist of Bollywood Kumaar Ji and sung by Padam Bhushan Shubha Mudgal Ji,”says Sunny Inder who’s happy that they finally have their hands full work some good work. Sunny Inder also won their first Filmfare Award for their musical works in Punjabi film Jora 10 Numbari. The duo have recently also released their single with Zee Music Company titled Rule Ke Gaya Ishq Tera that has already cross a million views. “I am thankful to Mr. Anurag Bedi for giving us this beautiful association with Zee Music,” says Inder who is also looking forward to an amazing fun flick Bole Chudiyaan for which they are not only composing music but also making Nawazuddin Siddiqui rap for a song!

आपल्या सहा वर्षांच्या मनोरंजक प्रवासाचा मागोवा घेताना ‘ड्रिमींग ट्वेंटि फोर सेव्हन’चे निदेशक दिपक राणे म्हणाले, “मनोरंजन क्षेत्रामूळे माझी आणि दादाची(संजय जाधव) ओळख झाली. मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टीत काही वेगळे करायची, पॅशन आणि क्वालिटी वर्क करायचा ध्यास हा आमच्या मैत्रीतला कॉमन धागा होता. त्यामूळेच मग आम्ही आमच्या निर्मितीसंस्थेची उभारणी केली. आणि गेली सहा वर्ष ‘ड्रिमींग ट्वेंटि फोर सेव्हन’ निर्मितीसंस्थेची घोडदौड यशस्वीरित्या चालू असण्याचा एक वेगळाच आनंद हा वर्धापनदिनाचा छटकार मारताना होतोय.”
‘ड्रिमींग ट्वेंटि फोर सेव्हन’ ह्या निर्मितीसंस्थेप्रमाणेच ड्रिमर्स पीआर आणि मार्केटिंग ह्या टॅलेंट मॅनेजमेंट एजन्सीलाही सहा वर्ष पूर्ण झाली आहेत. मराठी सिनेसृष्टीत टॅलेंट मॅनेजमेंटमधली पहिली एजन्सी असण्याचा मान ड्रिमर्स पीआर एन्ड मार्केटिंगला जातो. ह्याविषयी दिपक राणे सांगतात, “जसे बॉलीवूड किंवा इतर इंडस्ट्रीजमध्ये सेलिब्रिटींचे मॅनेजर, पीआर, स्टाइलिस्ट, सोशल मीडिया सांभळणारी अशी मोठी टिम असते. तशीच प्रोफेशनल टिम आपल्या मराठी सेलिब्रिटींनाही मिळावी. असा ड्रिमर पीआरच्या स्थापने मागचा असण्याचा हेतू होता. आणि आज ड्रिमर्स पीआरच्या सहा वर्षांच्या यशस्वी वाटचालीनंतर हा हेतू साध्य झाल्याचा आनंद आहे.”
फिल्ममेकर संजय जाधव म्हणाले, “मी आणि दिपक राणे ह्यांनी सहा वर्षापूर्वी एक स्वप्न पाहिले होते. पण स्वप्न सत्यात उतरण्यासाठी आम्हांला सक्षम टिम मिळाली आहे, ह्याचा आनंद ती स्वप्नपूर्ती अनुभवताना होतो आहे. सहा वर्षाच्या प्रवासात अनेक चढ-उतारांना आणि यशापयाशाला आम्ही एकत्र मिळून सामोरे गेलो. ड्रीमींग ट्वेंटि फोर सेव्हन आणि ड्रिमर्स पीआर एन्ड मार्केटिंग ह्यापूढेही यशाची अनेक शिखरं पादाक्रांत करत राहिल, आणि मनोरंजन क्षेत्रात भरीव कामगिरी करण्यासाठी आपले योगदान देत राहिल.”
