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.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great

Studying women presidents and prime ministers on screen, from Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up to Dimple Kapadia in A Thursday

In 2016, when I heard Hillary Clinton had lost the US Presidential race to Donald Trump, I took it as a confirmation that this is how much the US hated its women. And I felt temporarily gratified to live in a country which elected a woman as its third prime minister. This was before I remembered Indira Gandhi was the only woman prime minister we have had, and she was an outlier. Her strong and uncompromising leadership style skews meaningful analysis of gender representation in governance. Anyway, for all the breaking of paths and glass ceilings, trailblazers like Gandhi and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher commonly belong to conservative or traditional parties. Left to the simultaneously imaginative and mimetic art of comedy, the first woman US president looks like Meryl Streep’s Janine Orlean in Don’t Look Up and Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer in the HBO show Veep . They are both are anti-feminists and women of power. Yet they could not be more different in how they reflect the r

Netflix's Lupin acknowledges dangers of fantasies of omnipotence, introducing viewers to a socially conscious gentleman thief

By Emma Bielecki Netflix’s immensely successful new French-language show Lupin has introduced a new generation of anglophone viewers to one of the most popular characters in French popular fiction, Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Lupin was created in 1905 by the writer Maurice Leblanc at the behest of publisher Pierre Lafitte, who had recently launched a general interest magazine, Je Sais Tout . Lafitte wanted a serial that would guarantee a loyal readership for his magazine, as the Sherlock Holmes stories had for the Strand Magazine. Drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle and EW Hornung’s Raffles stories, Leblanc obliged by creating a flamboyant and ultimately always benign trickster figure. Cat burglar, con artist, master of disguise, Lupin is also a brilliant detective and righter of wrongs. His appeal has proved enduring: in addition to the original 20 volumes of stories authored by Leblanc, there have been countless plays, radio shows, TV series and films, from Italian pornos
