Lounge Loves: The Lovsmith, 'Thudarum' and More | Mint

A villain is hello, it’s the film curves that give us the best dialogue. Whether it’s Kitne Aadmi Thay of Sholay, Mr. India’s Mogambo Khush Hua is, or why so serious? From the Dark Knight, these lines with delicious threat became iconic by their antagonists. Joining this pantheon of spine-cooling ominous lines is the simple hello! that the character George Mathan expresses in the Malayalam film, Thudarum. Said with a rare there nose -cheek and accompanied by a toothy smile, the ‘hello’ seems to be disarming until it is not. Here is a villain that is as charming as a cobra and to give credit where it is, it is the ad filmmaker Prakash Varma who plays Mathan with incredible charm. —Mahalakshmi Prabhakaran Meet the Looksmith as an Indian man in my forties, I can be sure that I am not alone to be distressed by the changing contours of my body. On bad days, my disobedient waist feels like a personal betrayal. Instead of reaching out to variety, I would like dull “uncle’s clothing”, lifeless stripes and relaxed pants to look and feel, which look and feel age condition. Until I discovered Parker York Smith, a Men’s Fashion influenceder in Los Angeles. Smith Styles styles every day unusual, eccentric look based on popular requests. He is just as good in sports styles inspired by characters from the Super Mario Bros games, as he is a purple wedding suit for an adventurous groom. He does not do cosplay, nor is he shopping brands. Smith can even make a white shirt, seem stylish tea or loafers. Bonus: His additional game is absolutely on fire. —Somak Ghoshal also reads: What to watch this week: ‘Gram Chikitsalay’, ‘The Royals’, and more re -visits a memory during the growing up, Glass bracelets from Hanuman Mandir in Delhi were an integral part of most family weddings. I remember the complicated etched glass cabinets in which my grandmother would store those bracelets. Name a color, and you can find a bracelet in it. Recently, with a wedding in the family, I decided to visit the memory again and stand up to Hanuman Mandir to get glass bracelets. The lively series in the Babu Churiwala store caught my eye – I finally bought bracelets for the whole family. The elderly owner contributed to the experience with his stories of Delhi of the 1970s-80s, when glass bracelets would decorate a lot of wrist. A visit is highly recommended for a little gup-shup about tea and stories of bracelets. —Avantika Bhuyan This artist distorts words paper usually has language, the alphabet that forms sentences and runs across the surface to convey ideas, laws, policies, formulas, confessions, solutions. Artist Ravi Kumar Kashi turns this concept on his head by creating a delicate side of letters from different types of paper and suspending it from ceilings and walls, giving a new weight to words. Kashi currently has a small performance of six works, we do not end up on our edges, until mid -June in Bengaluru’s Museum of Art and Photography, and it is poignant. Pieces of Kannada poetry, literature, his own thoughts … Everything is combined by these installations that are part of sculpture, partly tapestry. It is also beautifully relieved, and the shadows that the molded installations have have their own vocabulary. —Shalini Umachandran also reads: The Legacy of ‘The Last of Us’, a landmark in the narrative mode
