    Although he may be somewhat of a style renegade, Sunil Grover knows when and how to drop some dope-looking style bombs here and there.

    The thing is, that although most of us choose to ignore them, actors who work in the television industry, often have a better understanding of style and fashion, especially when we compare them to the folks over in Bollywood. 

    Sunil Grover is actually a perfect example of that.
    © Instagram/whosunilgrover
    The man was recently spotted at the Mumbai Airport, wearing a very basic, but seriously dope-looking outfit. In fact, we will go as far as to say that whenever someone’s flying or travelling to the airport, this is the sort of clothes that they should be wearing.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Sunil was seen wearing a rather extra long white coloured T-shirt, and a dapper-looking oversized shirt, which was worn as a shacket. 

    He was also wearing a pair of matching jeans, and a dope looking pair of black coloured flat sneakers.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Now, we have seen people embrace long T-shirts before, but in this manner. Sunil Grover seriously looks dapper. 

    As far as street style is concerned, this is noteworthy. However, pairing such a T-shirt with a grey denim shirt, and using it as a jacket, or rather, a ‘shacket’ is a very risky move, style-wise.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Nonetheless, for Sunil, it pays off rather well. He legit looks like a proper, hip-hop artist, a rapper, sans the bling. If you’re wondering where he got the shacket from, it is a piece from Superdry, a UK based athleisure apparel maker. 

    The shacket that Sunil’s wearing retail for about Rs 4,000, but it is often on a discount at most e-commerce platforms.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like how he’s being extra careful about his surroundings, and how he has gone for a proper, acetate face shield, on top of a mask. 

    We also like the very basic looking black sneakers. They add to the quasi-technical vibe that the rest of Sunil’s outfit gives.
    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, that’s actually a pretty dope outfit. Barring the cap, if he had added a few more accessories, such as a watch, or a bracelet, the entire look would have been more elevated, and a new character would have been added to it. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    Just as it is though, Sunil’s looking super dapper. A job well done, indeed.

    Even though we haven’t seen him in any films, or ad campaigns, as of yet, we actually kinda dig Ibrahim’s sense of style. 
    He clearly knows how to dress to impress, even when he’s dressing down in a very simple and casual manner.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Well, he did something similar, very recently, when he was spotted at the Mumbai Airport.

    Ibrahim was spotted wearing a pair of customised joggers, and a dapper-looking pair of coke-white sneakers. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    But first, let’s take a look at his outfit.

    Ibrahim is wearing a rather dope-looking striped shirt, with short sleeves. Along with that, he’s wearing a pair of black joggers from Adidas, that has been customised specifically for him, and which carries his initials.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like the fact that he has accessories for his outfit, albeit in a very limited manner. We like the Chicago Bulls cap that he’s wearing, which, again, has been customised, and has his name embroidered on it.
    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, this is actually a very cool and dapper way to dress when you’re flying. This is an outfit that is easy to deal with, and comfortable, and very understated.

    The statement piece of the outfit, though, has to be sneakers that Ibrahim is wearing. These are the Air Force 1s from Nike, and boy oh boy, are they something special.
    © Nike
    Particularly, they are the ‘07 versions of the Nike Air Force 1. These sneakers are a pair of classics and have a timeless design. 

    We also like the minimalist colourway. The sneakers have an upper made of white leather. Furthermore, the black swoosh sits in perfect contrast to the white leather.
    © Nike
    Coming to the price of the sneakers, they are actually one of the most affordable pairs of sneakers that we have seen any celebrity wear. 

    The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07s retail for about Rs 7,500. If you know where to look, you can pick these up for as low as Rs 5,200. 
    Considering that we have seen celebs wearing sneakers that cost tens of thousands and lakhs, these are actually quite affordable.
    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, that’s a pretty dope looking pair of sneakers that Ibrahim’s got there. He is turning out to be quite the style icon, isn’t he? Take a bow, man.

    The State Police Media Centre Kerala is doing their best to spread the message. 

    Recently, there was a video shared, featuring seven police personnel dancing on the tunes of a parody from a superhit Tamil song, Enjoy Enjaami. The video gives insights into the rules to be followed amid the rising Covid-19 cases. 
    As soon as this video went live, it garnered a lot of attention from people.

    The caption read, “Let's fight the pandemic together. Kerala Police is always with you.” This has been loosely translated from Malayalam. 
    One can see these cops shaking their leg to the song that's urging people to wear masks and maintain social distancing amid the pandemic. 
    The video also makes a point of getting vaccinated as part of the prevention drive.

    The video has now been shared on several social media handles and has garnered 3 Lakh Views with more than 9,000 shares and 15,000 likes. 

    Many people appreciated their efforts for spreading awareness with some fun.

    One Facebook user wrote, “I wish all the best to the Kerala Police. The work of the Police is commendable,” while another user wrote “Loved the video, very fun and informative,”

    This isn't the only time when Kerala police have entertained us. 
    In March 2020, their 'Hand Wash Dance' also received a lot of attention in which the cops were seen dancing to the Kalakatha song. The video was about educating the people on the importance of washing hands, as said by WHO.
    Take a look: 

    What do you think about these dance videos? Let us know in the comments section.

    Amidst India's Covid-19 crisis that has forced its helpless people across the country to cater for their medical needs all by themselves, actress Priyanka Chopra has set up a fundraiser for her homeland.

    The 38-year-old actress, who is currently in London due to her work commitments, has been doing her bit to highlight India's torrid situation due to the second wave of the deadly Coronavirus.

    On Thursday (April 29), Priyanka shared a video of herself urging the international community to donate in order to help the people suffering from the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis.

    Talking about the acute shortage of hospital beds, vaccines, medicines, and oxygen, the actress highlighted the need for the international community to take notice of the grim situation in her home country.

    "Why do we need to care? Why is it so urgent right now? I'm sitting in London and I'm hearing from my friends and family in India about how hospitals are at capacity, there are no rooms in ICUs, ambulances are too busy, oxygen supply is less, crematoriums having mass cremations because the volume of deaths is so much,"

    "India is my home and India is bleeding. And we, as a global community, need to care. And I'll tell you why we need to care: Because unless everyone is safe, no one is safe. And I understand a lot of people must be angry thinking about why we are in this place in the first place? Why is this happening? Well, we'll address that. We'll address that after we stop the urgency," said Priyanka in the video released on her official Twitter and Instagram handle.

    Priyanka along with her husband and singer Nick Jonas, have set up the fundraiser in collaboration with GiveIndia, an online donation platform that provides resources to credible non-governmental organizations across India.

    India needs our help. Please give what you can. I love you India. 🏼 🇮🇳 #togetherforindia @priyankachopra @GiveIndia https://t.co/chEzEdNBNm pic.twitter.com/qNwEOnhOQf

    "India, my home, is suffering the world's worst Covid crisis, and we all need to help! People are dying in record numbers. There is illness everywhere, and it's only continuing to spread and kill at great speed and scale. I have set up a fundraiser with GiveIndia, the largest organization on the ground in India providing Covid relief. Whatever you can spare, truly makes a difference." said the caption of Priyanka's Instagram post.

    Jonas and Chopra, who have both made donations for the cause, urged people to make donations and help people. 

    "Your donation will go directly to healthcare physical infrastructure (including Covid care centers, Isolation centers, and oxygen generation plants), medical equipment, and vaccine support and mobilization. Please donate. Nick and I already have and will continue to contribute," said the caption.

    Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise may not be part of the Marvel or DC film universe, but he is a real-life example of an actor who almost boasts a superhuman status when it comes to working in films.

    Whether it is climbing on top of the Burj Khalifa, jumping buildings, holding his breath underwater for 6 minutes, flying a plane, or jumping off one, the 58-year-old actor has everything under his belt.
    © Netflix
    Recently, Bill Bennett, who was the camera operator on Cruise's 1988 film Cocktail, revealed exactly how the Top Gun actor saved the life of his co-star Elisabeth Shue by stopping her from walking into a spinning helicopter blade.

    According to Bennett, who now works as a TV and commercial cinematographer, the incident occurred when Cruise and Shue were shooting an aerial scene from a helicopter.

    "But by that time he is pointing at the tail rotor which is now a couple of feet away, screaming at her that she almost died. At that point, she turned white, and he pulled her back towards the front of the helicopter and they walked away. All of us in the helicopter were quite shaken up by the close call, but there was nothing to be said. Tom had, in that instant, truly saved her life." said Bennett.

    Well, we wonder if Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige also read this piece of news and calls Tom and says the iconic words, "Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept."

    Returnal is the latest exclusive title for the PlayStation 5 that is worth getting to experience what true next-gen feels like.  
    Developed by Housemarque, Returnal takes obvious influences from previous titles by the developer such as Resogun but carves a unique identity in the roguelike genre. Returnal is perhaps Sony’s first next-generation game that takes advantage of the new hardware, unlike any other game we’ve seen so far. 
    © Housemarque_SIE
    It wouldn’t be fair to classify Returnal as just another roguelike game as the game takes influences from not only games but popular science fiction movies by Ridley Scott. 

    At first, when you start the game, you will instantly start comparing similarities with the movie Prometheus. Returnal has the same eerie feeling I experienced when I first saw 80s sci-fi space horror of films like Aliens. Returnal successfully manages to capture that menacing feeling of something evil is about to happen. Within the first hour of the game, I started to get shivers down my back that I normally don’t experience in games. 
    Death Is All But InevitableYou play as Selene, who crash lands on the planet of Atropos in search of answers and a mysterious signal she hopes to understand. However, soon after your first death, you realise you’re caught in a loop, a concept very much reminiscent of Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow. However, in Returnal after each death, the world shifts into a randomly generated environment and Celeste discovers her corpses from previous cycles along the way. With every death on this planet, Selene is transported back to the opening cut albeit scene where she crash lands on the planet over and over again. 
    © Housemarque_SIE
    While this may sound very frustrating from the sound of it, you also get to learn more about Selene with each death. Each time she relives the crash, we get mysterious glimpses of her life, home and figures. These sequences reveal new details about Selene that makes dying repeatedly a rewarding experience. 

    There are six biomes you must conquer to finish the game and each gets harder than the previous one. Each biome is different from the other with stark differences where you will encounter ruins, deserts and wastelands that might seem endless. No matter how different, each biome is intriguing and it encourages the player to explore every nook and corner. 
    © Housemarque_SIE
    Exploring is essential for survival in this game as you will encounter upgrades, parasites that give you an extra life and new weapons to challenge even more difficult foe. Each location has a mystery to offer that masterfully incorporates the story as well. With exploration, you will get answers about the planet, its fauna and the civilisation that used to flourish here before. 

    You will also come across rooms that feature nanobot reconstructions that show you events of the past that took place there. You get to know more about the Xenotype species and what happened to them as you progress in each biome. Having said that, I do feel the lack of lengthy cut-scenes makes the game a bit more detached from the main plot at times.
    It Plays Like A Dream Returnal, in almost every aspect, is a roguelike built for the PlayStation audience packed with incredible visuals, sound design and gameplay. Much like every game from the genre, you lose everything upon death including upgrades, new weapons, abilities, currency, consumables and buffs you may have gathered. It’s a bit brutal if you aren’t used to this genre however for experienced players Returnal will be pure joy. 
    Got to keep going #PS5Share, #Returnal pic.twitter.com/6fCxRs5wQJ
    — Akshay Bhalla (@Bhallanator) April 29, 2021
    You don’t lose everything upon death though, certain tools that enable you to fast-travel within the biome are retained. Every time you wake up at the crash site, you do get to keep a pistol so that you can start your struggle all over again. It will take some time to get used to the concept of the game but after a few hours, you will be proficient with weapons and develop enough skill to survive. It also helps that once you have defeated the main boss of a biome, you don’t need to go through it all over again. You can simply skip to the portal and progress further which reduces your frustration after multiple runs.  
    © Housemarque_SIE
    While I may make Returnal sound easier than it is, you simply cannot underestimate how tough this game can get. It will test your patience at times and there will be sequences where enemies attack you relentlessly. If you truly want to master this game, you will need to spend quite a few hours honing your skills.

    I can say this with utmost honesty though, each biome is beatable; if you can avoid making mistakes. None of the levels have been designed in a way to punish you but to test what you’ve learned with each passing biome. Having said that, I do feel the game needs to be a bit more accessible for newcomers of the genre.
    The game can get frustrating for players who aren’t familiar with roguelike games as Returnal does not even offer the ability to save your progress or an easier game mode for newcomers. You can suspend the game in the background and return to your play-through but if you’re hoping to close the game and continue your progress sometime later, you’re well out of luck. 
    A Worthy PS5 ExclusiveReturnal is the first true PlayStation 5 exclusive game that fully takes advantage of the hardware of the next-generation console. During my review period, Returnal performed flawlessly on both 1080p and 4K resolution. Returnal manages to run at 60 FPS on both resolutions with ray-tracing and looked stunning at the same time.
    © Housemarque_SIE
    It’s probably the prettiest looking game I’ve played on the PS5 yet and truly shows what the console is capable of. Celeste’s character model looks life-like where facial animations you can notice every wrinkle. The case remains the same for the dark biomes of Atropos with detailed structures, neon-filled attacks by enemies and spectacular landscapes. 

    © Housemarque_SIE
    The most impressive incorporated feature in Returnal is the way it makes use of the DualSense controller. Housemarque takes full advantage of the haptics and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller in almost every biome. You will feel resistance in the triggers when using guns that also varies with the type of weapon you’re using. You even feel the rain hitting Celeste’s spacesuit and specific rumble patterns during key moments. Housemarque is the first PlayStation 5 game that showcases what we can expect from first-party games in the future, at least in the context of the DualSense controller. 

    The Final VerdictReturnal excels in almost every category one would judge a game on. It’s a technical marvel that showcases the PlayStation 5’s capabilities. With a mysterious setting, challenging gameplay, and brilliant visuals; Returnal is Sony’s first PS5 exclusive that is worthy of getting. 
    While I do feel the game needs to be a bit more accessible for newcomers; it should pose a great challenge for experienced players of the roguelike genre.
