In bizarre twist, gang robs thief of stolen gold, police nab all five

Published by Parlour News

In an anti-climax of sorts, a gang of five robbed a thief of gold worth ₹1.75 lakh in east Bengaluru’s Avalahalli — just minutes after he had stolen the gold from a house. Frustrated over losing the stolen valuables, the thief went on to commit two more house thefts. Ten days later, the police arrested all five accused. The first accused has been identified as Isayi Raja alias Kunta, 30, a resident of Amruthahalli. The members of the other gang have been identified as Mounesh Rao, Darshan M., Chandan R., and Sunil M., all aged between 20 and 23. The incident occurred on November 22. Raja allegedly noticed that a family in Manduru near Avalahalli had left their house late at night. He entered their house through an ajar window. “After stealing valuables, the accused went to a nearby graveyard where he had parked his bike. Another gang of four persons noticed him, intercepted him, and robbed him in the name of questioning,” an officer investigating the case told The Hindu. After the robbers left, …

Published by Parlour News

Imagine, for a moment, a meeting to plan a TV show or even a film before the age of the Internet in America. Producers, marketing chaps, a writer or two, a director — there are any number of people in the room, deciding what’s relevant and topical. Which combination of screenplay and dialogue, characters and actors, showrunners and directors can appeal to critics and the general viewing audience? How can they break new ground without breaking any at all, challenge the viewer while at the same time pander to them? The answer would end up being something trite: It needs to be The Sopranos meets Baywatch. And from this rather cynical beginning, there may well emerge a work that isn’t great art but art adjacent. Like pickleball, pretending to be a real sport. Megha Majumdar’s second novel is brilliant and clever. After all, Oprah says so. But as Dadu, the loving father, grandfather and Calcutta man to his soul in A Guardian and a Thief, may have thought when he was younger, wittier and just …

Discussing how the portrayal of heroes has evolved over time, Saif agrees there’s a shift in the narrative and audience expectations. “While it (the idea of heroism) may not have changed completely, it has certainly broadened in the way that you find heroic things in even things that flawed people do and that’s more interesting,” the 54-year-old says, adding, “I’m happy it’s happening because it’s a sign of evolution of character and audience.” A still from Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins The actor explains that layered characters resonate more deeply with the audiences: “None of us are perfect in our lives, we all have good moments and bad moments, and if you can capture those things, it makes it so much more powerful than having a one-note kind of character who’s like this godlike angel who never does anything wrong, which is how it’s been in the West and with …
