Gargee Roychowdhury Launches Theatre Plus with Debut Production ‘TARASUNDARI’
Gargee Roychowdhury Launches Theatre Plus with the Announcement of Its Maiden Venture TARASUNDARI
Kolkata, 6th October, 2025: The city’s cultural landscape witnessed the launch of Theatre Plus, a new production house founded by acclaimed actress Ms. Gargee Roychowdhury. The launch was marked by the official poster release of the production house’s maiden venture, Tarasundari — a solo act play by Gargee, dedicated to the legendary actress Tarasundari. The occasion was graced by the Advisor and Mentor of the play, Hon’ble Minister-in-Charge, Higher & School Education Department, Government of West Bengal, and eminent theatre personality Mr. Bratya Basu.
Tarasundari, one of the brightest names in Bengal’s professional theatre history, was a trailblazing performer who excelled equally in tragedy and comedy — a gifted singer who could effortlessly render even European melodies, and a dancer whose stage presence was unmatched. Her life, filled with courage, resilience, and artistic brilliance, continues to inspire generations.
The play will debut on 1st November 2025 at GD Birla Sabhagar, where Gargee will step into the shoes of Tarasundari, bringing alive the story of a woman far ahead of her time. The production will seek to rediscover her extraordinary journey — from her celebrated career to her courage in standing up for her dignity and self-respect during an era when actresses were often socially ostracized.
“Tarasundari was not just a remarkable actress but a symbol of courage and grace who refused to bow to social stigma. Bringing her story to life is my tribute to her indomitable spirit. With Theatre Plus, I would like to continue telling stories that celebrate the lives of cultural icons and the richness of Indian literature. This is a dream production, and it will be staged across the country,” said Ms. Gargee Roychowdhury, Actress & Founder, Theatre Plus.
The play Tarasundari is written and directed by Ujjwal Chattopadhyay, with music and soundscape by Prabuddha Banerjee, stage craft by Soumik Piyali, lighting by Soumen Chakraborty, costumes by Abhishek Roy, visual design by Ekta Bhattacharya, and stage management by Ambarish.
The launch of Theatre Plus ushered in a new era of theatre productions that aim to revive forgotten legends and reintroduce them to contemporary audiences with honesty, passion, and artistry.

Live from October 4 to October 31, the month-long campaign brings customers across 25+ cities and Spinny’s online and retail platforms the opportunity to:
- Win 3 free cars during the month of October
Customers enjoyed a similar offer last December 2024, with three lucky buyers from Chennai, Pune, and Delhi receiving full refunds on their cars. - Assured gifts worth ₹3 crore with every car purchase — including 10-gram gold coins, cash discounts, and more
- Exclusive festive discounts across Spinny Assured and Spinny Max cars, including hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs

The campaign is live in both major metros and rapidly growing hubs — including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and beyond — ensuring customers across India can experience the joy of driving home their perfect car with confidence and ease.

The Private Language of Marble: Bedrooms as True Retreats
Kishangarh,4th october, 2025: Bedrooms are often the most overlooked spaces when it comes to marble design. While foyers, staircases, and living rooms are treated as visual statements, bedrooms tend to remain purely functional. Tilak Marbles, however, has spent over three decades challenging that norm bringing timeless elegance into the heart of the home.
For Mr. Praveen Gangwal, founder of Tilak Marbles, the bedroom deserves the same care and permanence as any public-facing part of a home.
“The hours you spend in your bedroom are among the most meaningful,” he says. “Why shouldn’t that space hold the same sense of permanence and personality as the living room or foyer?”
The Backdrop of Rest
A prime example of this philosophy is seen at Buena Vista Luxury Garden Spa Resort in Jaipur, where Tilak Marbles supplied the entire marble selection. The bedrooms in the resort embody the idea that stone can be both restful and refined. Soft veining on walls and floors creates a visual rhythm a quiet presence that enhances, rather than dominates, the space.
“These veins aren’t just decoration,” Mr. Gangwal explains. “They give a room rhythm a calm continuity that deepens over time.”
Underfoot: Quiet Luxury
While marble flooring is typically reserved for grand halls or formal spaces, Tilak Marbles has been making the case for it in bedrooms. Clients quickly discover its subtle luxuries — the coolness underfoot, the gentle glow of reflected morning light, and the visual continuity it brings to the home.
“Marble doesn’t perform in the bedroom. It steadies it,” Mr. Gangwal says.
Not Cold, But Comforting
One homeowner expressed concern that marble would make her bedroom feel cold or impersonal. Tilak Marbles countered that with a custom palette: beige marble flooring, walnut wood furniture, and natural linen fabrics. The result was a space both elegant and inviting a personal sanctuary.
“The bedroom became the space she actually looked forward to coming home to,” Mr. Gangwal shares.
Tilak’s Philosophy: Quiet, Living Luxury
Tilak Marbles approaches bedrooms not as showpieces, but as deeply personal spaces that reflect the lifestyle and personality of their inhabitants. Whether white or beige, textured or polished, every slab is chosen with intention — blending craftsmanship with comfort.
With a legacy of over 30 years, Tilak Marbles has contributed to heritage restorations, luxury residences, and global design projects, consistently delivering installations that balance aesthetics with endurance.
“Luxury isn’t what visitors see,” Mr. Gangwal reflects. “It’s how a home feels when no one is watching. Marble anchors those hours. It lives with you quietly every day.”
