When Mohanlal wore a necklace, he wore vulnerability and dismantled gender norms
In a groundbreaking advertisement, veteran Malayalam actor Mohanlal challenges traditional gender norms by adorning himself with jewellery. The ad, by Vinsmera Jewels, showcases Mohanlal's comfort and joy in wearing the pieces, defying conventional portrayals of masculinity. This bold move has sparked widespread praise, prompting conversations about redefining masculinity and embracing personal expression. For generations, jewellery ads have followed a rigid script. The camera pans over a glowing bride-to-be, her bangles chiming in slow motion, her smile shy yet radiant. It's always a woman, sometimes a mother, sometimes a lover but never anyone else. Jewellery was not just an adornment; it was a symbol of femininity, a tradition passed from mother to daughter. Men, meanwhile, remained bystanders in these stories - buyers, gifters, rarely wearers. Until now. — bambbhlight (@bambbhlight) In a quietly revolutionary new ad by a leading jewellery brand from Kerala, veteran actor Mohanlal changes the narrative. Without lofty proclamations or performative statements, the ad opens with a simple scene: Mohanlal, amidst the hustle of a shoot, is drawn to a jewellery set. Noticing it, admiring it. Then, slipping away with it, not to gift it to someone else, but to wear it himself. Inside his vanity van, he adorns himself with the necklace, bracelet, and ring. Clad in a simple shirt and trousers, he pairs the ornate pieces with unfiltered delight. The music rises, his movements soften, and he begins to dance - graceful, mischievous, free. When the director bursts in looking for the 'missing' jewellery, Mohanlal just laughs - not embarrassed, not explaining, just basking in his moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo And it's magical. Masculinity that shimmers What makes this moment so powerful is not just what's happening, but who it's happening to. This is Mohanlal, the legendary star of Malayalam cinema, a symbol of rugged masculinity and complex characters for over four decades. He has played fearless warriors, upright policemen, broken poets, and flawed men with heartbreaking honesty. He's an icon, especially in a culture that still clings tightly to its ideas of what a man should look and behave like. So when someone like Mohanlal chooses to wear jewellery - not for humour, not in drag, not to mock femininity, but with sincerity and joy, it lands differently. It isn't performative or niche. It's an invitation to rethink, to unlearn. And it hits home Fans flooded the comment section with praise, calling it 'brilliant', 'graceful', and 'unlike anything we've seen before'. 'He's embracing his feminine energy,' wrote one fan. 'Only Mohanlal can carry both masculinity and femininity with such ease,' said another. Many noted how such a portrayal would have been unimaginable years ago. 'It takes a real man to do this,' someone rightly observed. But perhaps we shouldn't have to say 'real man' at all. Perhaps that idea itself needs redefinition. Jewellery is not gendered. We made it so If you travel through time, you'll find that kings wore earrings, warriors wore kohl, and gods wore elaborate necklaces. In many cultures, men wearing jewellery was neither strange nor subversive, it was the norm. It is colonial morality, patriarchal discomfort, and hypermasculine modernity that have made softness in men something to fear, mock, or correct. Today, a man choosing a floral ring or wearing a pastel kurta is still considered 'bold' or 'different'. We raise our sons telling them pink is for girls, jewellery is 'too feminine', and emotions must be buried, not worn on sleeves or ears, or fingers. In doing so, we rob them of not just freedom of expression, but of beauty. And why? What are we so afraid of? Mohanlal, with one simple gesture, reminds us that masculinity can be adorned. That there is strength in vulnerability. That beauty does not threaten identity. The cultural reset we didn't know we needed This ad isn't just a clever marketing move. It's a cultural moment. A mirror held up to our biases, a gentle challenge to the binaries we've accepted for too long. It doesn't scream for attention, it simply is. And that's what makes it so moving. Mohanlal's quiet confidence, his joy in the jewels, his refusal to justify, it gives others permission too. Young boys watching might feel less alone in their desire to try on their mother's earrings. Grown men might reconsider what they've denied themselves for years. It opens a door, just a crack, for more stories to come through, ones where gender isn't a prison, but a palette. Jewellery is for everyone Fashion has always been political. What we wear tells a story about who we are, or who we wish to be. And when someone like Mohanlal chooses to tell a story where jewellery is not bound by gender, where masculinity can shimmer without shame, it's not just stylish. It's powerful. Jewellery is for everyone. Let's stop acting like it isn't.

Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, Jr NTR's 'War 2' trailer date announced
Yash Raj Films (YRF) announced the release date of the "War 2" trailer on Tuesday. It is expected that the trailer will increase anticipation for the upcoming spy film, which will hit theatres in August. Ayan Mukerji's War 2, which stars Kiara Advani, Jr. NTR, and Hrithik Roshan, is the most anticipated film of the year. On social media, Yash Raj Films (YRF) revealed the date of the action thriller's trailer premiere. The movie is set to release in theatres on August 14, 2025. YRF on 'War 2' trailer date YRF shared a post on social media: "War 2 trailer out on July 25th. #War2 is set to release in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil on August 14th in cinemas worldwide (sic)". The makers have strategically picked the release date to honour the legacy of the film's two leading stars. A special poster unveiled with the announcement reveals the significance behind this carefully chosen date. The poster featured a note that says, "In 2025, 2 icons of Indian cinema complete 25 years of their glorious cinematic journey. To celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment, YRF marks July 25 as the trailer launch date of War 2! Here's to the most epic clash of the titans! Mark your calendars... (sic)." Ayan Mukerji's Post for 'War 2' Sharing a series of BTS pictures with Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR from the sets, Ayan stated, "EXCITING TIMES. With the release of our movie's teaser a few days ago, and 12 weeks to go before our big, beautiful movie hits theatres, it feels like the right time for me to share some thoughts. While our movie has so much to offer our audiences with its big-screen spectacle energy, today I want to draw attention to what inspires me most about War 2." "The core of this movie is a very powerful and dramatic story, which surprised me the first time I heard its script, and has been extremely exciting (and challenging) for me to bring to life! And so, as we receive all this love and conversation for our first look at the film, I am longing for everyone to experience the actual journey of this movie's story, which I believe to be a new and deeper dive into the spy universe genre", he added. Ayan wrote, "With a special mention here to my lovely Kiara, who is a ray of sunshine in the movie and a dear friend in my life today. But especially - the 3 Key Forces that set the foundation for me to build this ambitious movie! The amazing leadership of Mr Aditya Chopra - from whom I have learnt so much over the last two years, and who gave me this incredible opportunity to collaborate with the once-in-a-lifetime duo of Mr. Hrithik Roshan and NTR." "I cannot wait for our audiences to experience the magical work that these two giants have created in War 2... not just with their mega movie-star energy, but with the drama and depth that they have brought to their characters," Ayan further added. War 2 cast and plot The movie is being marketed as a pan-India release and is a part of the growing YRF Spy Universe. With a three-week exclusive IMAX run and more than 7,500 screens reserved worldwide, "War 2" is expected to rank among the most anticipated theatrical productions of 2025. The director of "War 2," Ayan Mukerji, enters the spy genre with the movie. Additionally, this is his first movie with the production company. The film's clever marketing strategy is another factor contributing to the enthusiasm surrounding it. Industry buzz suggests that Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR will promote the film independently, a deliberate move to preserve the intrigue and intensity of their on-screen rivalry. Meanwhile, Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments has acquired the Telugu rights for a reported Rs 80 crore, a testament to the film's commercial potential. "War 2" promises a cinematic experience that is both huge in scope and rooted in plot, thanks to its star-studded ensemble, high-octane action, and compelling emotional arc.

Who is Prince George? Britain's Royal family shares new birthday portrait of the young heir
Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales, turned 12 on July 22.
