success in any human endeavour including the show business‚ he added. Prof. Sandeep Marwah mentioned that the simultaneous launching of four feature films by Boney Kapoor is like a ray of hope in an environment of gloom encircling the industry due to unprecedented large scale failure of feature films in the past two years. Boney Kapoor is undoubtedly synonymous with the film-industry‚ he added. Reciting excerpts from a poem of the Hindi Poet Sumitra Nandan Pant‚ the renowned Kathak exponent Shovana Narayana emphasised that determined efforts are important to achieving anything worthwhile. She was of the view that it is necessary for an achiever to a dreamer first. Speaking on this occasion the well known exponent of Hindustani music Jawahar Wattal said that the successful functioning of the academy far away from the hub of entertainment industry Mumbai‚ is indeed remarkable.
