Vinsmera Jewels ad redefines fashion; Jewellery is Beautiful for Everyone
Dr Vidhu Sekhar P (Assistant Professor, Department of Fashion Management Studies, National Institute of Fashion Technology-NIFT, Ministry of Textiles, Govt of India) The recent viral advertisement of Vinsmera Jewels, owned by Kambrath Brothers from Kannur, Kerala, has remarkably shown the boldness in breaking the traditional gender norms and its creative storytelling, which has captivated attention on new media platforms for both critics and audiences across the country. In the last two days (18th July), they received 1.9 million views and 62 K likes for their YouTube advertisement. This advertisement was broadcast in connection with the upcoming opening of a new showroom in Calicut, Kerala, scheduled for next month. The concept and the storyline of the ad showcase the behind-the-scenes of a jewellery photoshoot and the discussion. The storyline goes like this: Veteran Malayalam movie actor Mohanlal arrives on the set, and the Director briefs the context and introduces the female model, who is wearing the brand's diamond jewellery. The story narration twists when the jewellery disappears after the model leaves the location. The film crew desperately searches for the missing pieces. The film director and crew decided to break the news to Mohanlal, and the suspense was unveiled when they found Mohanlal in the vanity van, facing the mirror while wearing the ornaments. It was followed by a pin drop silence and the expressive performance of Mohanlal. Lal was wearing his everyday shirt and trousers paired with the necklace, bracelet, and ring, He was seen performing a classical dance with expressive hand gestures(mudras) that infused with intentionally feminine movements, an expression of self. The ad stands out for avoiding dialogue. Mohanlal's performance depends entirely on body language, facial expressions, and dance to convey joy and embody a gender-fluid persona. The ad ends with the director catching Mohanlal in the middle of his dance. Instead of tension, both burst into laughter, keeping the tone light and celebratory. Mohanlal, a highly respected actor in India known for his versatility and traditionally masculine on-screen persona, chose to elegantly wear women's jewellery without irony, caricature, or mockery. This challenged conventional norms in jewellery advertising and notions of gender roles in Indian media. The performance is earning acclaim for being bold and impactful. Fans and critics alike note that Mohanlal 'pushes boundaries in jewellery advertising' and 'seamlessly merges masculine and feminine elements,' earning praise for the actor's artistry, poise, and willingness to explore new expressions. Social media responded swiftly, filled with admiration for Mohanlal's bold move. Comments span from 'Absolutely brilliant' to 'No other actor blends femininity and masculinity so elegantly,' showing respect even from viewers who found the scene surprising or unconventional. The ad is seen as a pivotal moment for jewellery advertising in India, sparking discussions on representation and inclusivity in the country's luxury market.

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.
