Feels Like Ishq, Netflix anthology series, to release on 23 July; watch trailer

Netflix's latest anthology series Feel Like Ishq seeks to present six different yet relatable stories about modern love, say its filmmakers.

The six-episode romance-drama series will hit the streaming platform on 23 July this year.

Ruchir Arun, known for directing shows such as Little Things and What The Folks, has helmed the Save the Da(y)te episode, featuring actors Radhika Madan and Amol Parashar.

The director said the episode will explore how love can "happen anywhere, anytime in today’s day and age".

"Save The Da(y)te is one such story where two completely opposite individuals bump into each other at a wedding and spend ample amounts of time together, just to realise there might be something more.

"Both Radhika Madan and Amol Parashar are energetic and entertaining performers which helped us in bringing this relatable story to life," Arun said in a statement.

Tahira Kashyap Khurrana described her episode, titled Quaranteen Crush, starring Kajol Chugh and Mihir Ahuja, a "subtle love story".

"It is a simple story that speaks volumes about care, innocence and friendship. Kajol Chugh and Mihir Ahuja essay the roles of Nimmi and Maninder with ease, and their camaraderie ensures that the audience’s mood stays light," she added.

Anand Tiwari said his episode Star Host is a "simple story" about the serendipity of the universe that can bring two complete strangers together.

"We tried to bring in the elements of scenic views and nature to weave a story around our protagonists Aditya and Tara played by Rohit Saraf and Simran Jehani.

"Both have brought these characters to life with amazing performances that will make the audience remember what Ishq feels like," he added.

Danish Aslam has directed the She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not episode of the anthology. It features actors Saba Azad and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya in the lead.

Here is the trailer shared by Sulagna Chatterjee, writer of She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

"This was one of those stories that pretty much wrote itself once the characters were fleshed out. And Saba and Sanjeeta looked like they''d strolled straight out of the pages into the frame. They're both equal parts mad and poignant, which is pretty much what love is most of the time," the director said.

The other two episodes — titled The Interview and Ishq Mastana — have been directed by Sachin Kundalkar and Jaydeep Sarkar, respectively.

Kundalkar said The Interview blends different emotions of confidence, respect, understanding, care and eventually the spark of a strong bonding between two people. The story features Neeraj Madhav and Zayn Khan.

Talking about Ishq Mastana, Sarkar said, "Collaborating with Tanya Maniktala and Skand Thakur was an absolutely joyful experience. Both of them brought great authenticity and phenomenal chemistry to the story."

Devrath Sagar serve as the creator director of Feel Like Ishq, which has been produced by Mutant Films and Awesomeness TV.

Seher Aly Latif, Shivani Saran of Mutant Films executive produced the series alongside Shelley Zimmerman, Brin Lukens and Jennifer Vasquez of Awesomeness TV.

Oscars 2021 adds in-person UK hub for international nominees amid travel concerns during pandemic

With less than a month until showtime, the 93rd Oscars are taking another pass at the script. Show producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher remain determined to have an i n-person ceremony on 25 April in Los Angeles but told nominees on Tuesday in a virtual meeting that they’ve added a British hub after some backlash from nominees about international travel restrictions.

In conversation with Christopher Doyle, cinematographer of Wong Kar-Wai cinema: How we react to spaces energizes the film

The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the cinematography of Christopher Doyle as “a snake — savouring the air of the streets.” Across the Atlantic Ocean, on BBC , he is credited with “changing the look of cinema”. Doyle’s “anti-Hollywood” aesthetic, associated with the streaks of thick, luminous paint in Wong Kar-wai’s films, have a striking and lasting visual vitality. It has often been described as “post-modern” — though what that means exactly is everybody’s guess. My guess is the reliance, in his images, on feelings over narrative, on style over substance — the kind that skyrocketed post-World War II artists like Mark Rothko into fame. Rothko would just paint fields of colour, and people would stand and weep in front of his large, enveloping canvases. The effect of Doyle’s imagery is not much different.  For all his artistry, Doyle is flippant, moony, and charming. During an e-mail exchange produced below, edited for length and clarity, Doyle warns, “I think you s...
