Eram Faridi Celebrates Global Milestone With Cannes Selections And Feature Film Launches

Redbulb Studios in Andheri West buzzed with excitement and cinematic spirit as Eram Faridi, the powerhouse behind Erams Entertainment, hosted a grand celebration announcing two major milestones that mark a significant leap in her creative journey.

At the heart of the event was the announcement that Fedora’s Wrinkles, and Naina, Meet Mr. Chang —  part of Eram Faridi’s thought-provoking anthology — were officially selected for screening at Marche du Film, Cannes. This recognition not only marked international acclaim for Indian storytelling but also reaffirmed Faridi’s position as a bold and conscious filmmaker unafraid to explore emotional depth and unconventional themes.

Alongside this global spotlight, Erams Entertainment also launched two of its much-awaited feature films: Shaadibaaz, a quirky, high-energy take on relationships and chaos in Indian weddings, and Truth Lies Somewhere, a layered psychological drama that blurs the lines between perception and reality. These films signal a new era of storytelling—one that is both rooted and ready to resonate with audiences across the globe.

The gathering was graced by an ensemble of celebrated guests and collaborators including Sushmita Mukherjee, Heera Sohal, Suman Guha, Suman Ganguli, Divya Khera, Mahayogi Rajan Luthra, Vipin Bhardwaj, Adi Irani, Dhwani Pawar, Feroz Khan, Dr. Raju Waghmare, Ronnie Chauhan, Dr. Khooshi Gurubhai Thakkar, Ashwin Kaushal, Manish Wadhwa, Aanchal Munjal, Nasir Khan, Vaquar Shaikh, Jinal Jain, FaizAli Wagle, and Dr. (Hon) Anusha Srinivasan Iyer, among others.

The intimate yet power-packed gathering not only celebrated cinematic excellence but also Eram Faridi’s vision of using cinema as a tool for meaningful change. As she stood at the crossroads of celebration and ambition, the message was clear—Erams Entertainment is not just producing content, it’s shaping cultural narratives, both in India and beyond.

Swaroop Sawant’s Marathi Film POSCO 307 Set To Release On May 16, 2025: A Bold Stand Against Child Sexual Abuse

Acclaimed director Swaroop Sawant is back with a hard-hitting Marathi film titled “POSCO 307”, scheduled to release on May 16, 2025. The film tackles one of the most disturbing and urgent issues of our time—child sexual abuse and rape—and is poised to spark critical conversations in society.

Based on real events and inspired by the POCSO Act and IPC Section 307, POSCO 307 fearlessly dives into the dark realities faced by children, while delivering a strong message: there should be zero tolerance and no mercy for such inhumane culprits.

Swaroop Sawant, known for his socially driven cinema, aims to use this film as a powerful medium to awaken society’s conscience and support justice for the voiceless victims. With an intense narrative and emotionally compelling storytelling, POSCO 307 promises to be more than just a movie—it’s a movement.

The film is expected to leave a deep impact on audiences and contribute meaningfully to the larger fight for child safety and justice.

Landscapes of the Soul: A Journey Through Art with Jesal Dalal & Hemali Shah

If you’re in Mumbai between April 22 and 28, make some time to step into a space that offers more than just art on walls. Landscapes of the Soul, a two-woman show by artists Jesal Dalal and Hemali Shah, is opening at the Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Worli, and it promises to be an experience of quiet beauty and deep reflection.

This isn’t your typical art exhibition. Jesal and Hemali, though very different in style, come together with a shared intent: to express the unspoken — those silent emotions, fleeting thoughts, and inner landscapes we all carry but often can’t describe. Their work doesn’t shout for attention. Instead, it gently pulls you in.

JESAL DALAL

Jesal’s art feels like a breath of fresh air — or more accurately, like standing alone in a wide open space, surrounded by nature, and finally hearing yourself think. Using watercolours as her main medium, she leans into subtle hues, soft brushwork, and the play of light. Her paintings don’t just show you a scene; they ask you to feel it. Interestingly, Jesal didn’t start out as an Artist. She dabbled in architecture and interior design before discovering that painting was her real calling. Mostly self-taught, her artistic path has taken her across India and even to international exhibitions. Whether it’s the way she uses chiaroscuro for emotional depth or the way she lets form dissolve into the atmosphere, her work speaks of introspection and the search for peace.

Her paintings are not about specific places. They’re about states of mind.

 

HEMALI SHAH

Hemali’s journey with art began with Disney cartoons, but today, she’s painting nature through a lens of realism touched by emotion. Her background in Fine Arts, especially her time at C. N. Vidyalaya, gave her the foundation to grow, but it’s her connection to the natural world that fuels her creativity. Working primarily in watercolours, Hemali blends technical skill with a personal colour palette that’s uniquely hers. Her pieces often reflect the way she sees the world — not just what’s there, but what it means. There’s something deeply grounded in her work, yet you can feel her heart in every brushstroke. For her, painting is more than a craft. It’s a way of life, a perspective shift, and a means of becoming more aware and compassionate.

Landscapes of the Soul is about more than showcasing art — it’s about creating a space for emotion, reflection, and connection. Jesal and Hemali don’t just paint what they see; they paint what they feel, and in doing so, they give us permission to feel too. Whether you’re an art lover, a creative soul, or someone who simply needs a break from the city’s noise, this exhibition offers something rare — silence, softness, and space to just be.

The show was inaugurated on 22nd April 2025 by Honourable Guests – Amol Pawar, Nishikant Palande ( Renowned Artists), Sumeet Rajani (Director – Art Gallery Edgewise Ventures P.Ltd), Augustine Chalissery(Founder & CEO SystemsIntegra) among others.

CASCADE OF SHADES Solo Show Of Paintings By Ragini Sinkar In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 21st to 27th April 2025

“Cascade of Shades”

Solo Show of Paintings by well-known artist Ragini Sinkar 

VENUE:

Jehangir Art Gallery

161-B, M.G. Road

Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001

Timing: 11am to 7pm

Contact: +91 99226 20155

Cascade of Shades : A creative journey of the blend of colors, tones, and textures

There are paintings that capture your sight and then there are those that quietly enter your thoughts, linger in your imagination, and bloom with every passing moment. Cascade of Shades, a solo exhibition by Ragini Sinkar, belongs to the latter. Every painting in this series bridges gap between imagination and perception.

This show was inaugurated on 21st April 2025 by Honourable Guests Achyut Palav(Master Calligrapher and Designer, Pamashree 2025),Ashok Dugade(Chairman & Managing Trustee, Saturday Club),Sanjay Deore(Managing Director, SKD Consultants Pvt. Ltd.) among others.

Each canvas in Cascade of Shades feels alive with motion—not in the literal sense, but in how it unfolds across time and mood. A painting seen in morning light might feel entirely different by dusk. These are not static pieces, they evolve with the viewer.

Built with translucent layers, subtle contrasts, and a keen eye for harmony, Ragini’s abstract compositions explore the delicate bridge between perception and imagination. Her work invites you to pause, to reflect, to lose and perhaps find yourself within shifting tones and textures.

A graduate of Sir J.J. School of Art, Ragini completed her A.T.D. in 1998 with first rank, followed by a B.F.A. in Drawing and Painting in 2002. Over the years, her work has been exhibited at some of Mumbai’s most prestigious galleries, including multiple solo and group shows at Jehangir, Nehru Centre, and Cymroza Art Gallery.

Her achievements include awards for design, object drawing, portraiture, sketching, and collage, and she has actively contributed to the Indian art scene through platforms such as the Art Society of India, Camlin Art Foundation, Bombay Art Society, and several women-led exhibitions.

The Most Prestigious Ceremony “Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award 2025” Will Be Held On 3rd May, The Evening Will Be Decorated With Stars

On the occasion of the 156th birth anniversary of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian film industry, a grand award ceremony is being organized by the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation. The tradition of honoring the best artists and technicians of the film industry with the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award has been going on for many years. The main objective of this award to be held this year on 3 May 2025 at Mukesh Patel Auditorium in Mumbai is to appreciate the work of the behind-the-scenes technicians, laborers and artists like dancers, junior artists, fighters and encourage them by giving them the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award.

Every year many well-known stars and veterans of the film industry participate in this program by contributing.

32 associations of the film world nominate their most deserving members for this award and recommend them to the foundation. Around 75 awards will be distributed to film, TV serial, web series stars, singers and producer directors in the presence of the chief guest and around 2000 Bollywood personalities.

Foundation President Mr. Ashfaq Khopekar, Senior Vice President Babu Bhai Thiba and Vice President Ashok Shekhar and Vice President Vasudha Pandya have taken charge of this program. Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award is actually a mission. Around 5 lakh members of more than 32 associations of the film world by bringing them together under one ideology. This is to set an example in the world by bringing everyone from spot boy to superstar on one platform forgetting the difference between big and small.

Ashfaq Khopekar says that it is unfortunate that some unsuccessful film and non-film people who have taken over the association with the help of some selfish people of the association can stop it for a few days by creating obstacles in the completion of this mission but cannot end it. People are taking advantage by getting awards done by making similar names of Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award. Members of the film world have to struggle for work till their last breath. No government scheme is applicable to the people of the film industry while entertainment is the only industry which pays huge amount of tax to the government. In such a situation, the people of the industry have no support except their own organization, but now many film associations have been taken over by anti-social elements and the government and the bigwigs of the industry are silent. Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation is not limited to just awards but has been formed with the purpose of serving the people of the film industry and fighting for their rights. The next step of the foundation is to start medical help for the members and education help and housing scheme for their children soon.

With the hard work and dedication of the foundation’s president Ashfaq Khopekar and senior vice president Babu Bhai Thiba, the workers, technicians, artists, journalists and producers of the film industry have been able to gather at one place for many years through this work.
