A romantic at heart, Anand Tiwari is nervous about his Netflix short film Feels Like Ali Baba Dastaan e Kabul. A veteran of Bollywood TV shows and films, Anand has straddled the line between acting and directing. He has appeared in Udaan and Go Goa Gone, directed Love Per Square Foot, and created the Amazon show Bandish Bandits. Here, he talks about how the experience of working in an indie film changed his life.

While many people don't watch the Bollywood TV shows, it's well worth checking out this anthology of six romantic stories. Each one follows a young boy with a crush on his neighbor. The show's cast includes Radhika Madan, Simran Jehani, Amol Parashar, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, Amol Parashar, and Ruchir Arun. You can watch Feels Like Ishq on Netflix in July 2021 if you're interested in Indian movies.

Netflix has taken on the anthology style of storytelling in India to a new level, bringing a brand-new dimension to television and films. Anthology style shows feature several short stories with similar themes, and almost always deliver. Feels Like Ishq follows six different stories, each of which explore the notions of love in different stages of life. The series also features Radhika Madan, who plays a bridesmaid who accidentally meets the wedding planner. It does have a romantic theme, but it lacks genuine chemistry between the two leads.

Despite the aforementioned differences, the cast is otherwise solid and well-written. The two leads are very different - Maniktala is an environmental activist, and Skand Thakur is a sports quota enthusiast. The storyline has potential to be an excellent love story, but the execution is uninspired. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link is used as a backdrop and the scripts are not equally perceptive.

Shrimaan Shrimati

This comedy series was created in 1989 and starred Jatin Kanakia, Rakesh Bedi, Reema Lagoo, and Archana Puran Singh. The series was produced by Gautam and Markand Adhikari and was first aired on Doordarshan in 1989. The actors portrayed different characters from different classes. The witty dialogues and natural performances of the cast earned the series a place in the hearts of audiences.

The show was one of the first to take on the saans-bahu-kitchen-politics genre on Indian television. It starred Reema Lagoo as the mother-in-law and Supriya Pilgaonkar as the daughter-in-law. The series premiered in 1994 on Doordarshan and moved to Star Plus in 1996. In its run, the series has become synonymous with saans-bahu kitchen politics.

Ajay Nagrath starred as a chubby child artiste in Shrimaan Shrimati many years ago. His role as a fat child, Chintu, jumbled his words purposefully. The actor was unhappy with his weight as an identity in the industry. In response to this, Ajay Nagrath took up the challenge of losing weight, eventually dropping 60 kilos in a few weeks on the Biggest Loser Jeetega show.

Another famous TV show starring Shrimaan Shrimati was Family No.1. The show was based on the lives of two single parents with a boisterous daughter-in-law. Her constant fights with her kids and husband's ex-wife made her an instant hit among audiences. But she didn't stop there. She had many more roles to perform in the television industry. A few were more notable than others, but she is known for her work as a mother figure.

Crashh

While Bollywood television shows have been churning out new genres every day, there are some things that could be done better. Crashh in Bollywood TV shows would benefit from more cinematic flair. A song number, limerick, or other well-loved line could have added a cinematic touch to the scenes. The first episode of the web series, which debuted on February 14, was accompanied by a group photo of the cast. It is based on a true story of sibling love and loss. The writers of the show could have used more of that. The actors who play the lead roles in Crashh could have also incorporated cinematic flair into their scenes. Moreover, the episodes have begun with a traditional Hindi number to add to the charm of the story.

The story is about four siblings, who lose their parents in a car crash. These children are adopted by different families and grow up in different environments. They eventually meet and grow up together, but ignore each other. Ultimately, one of them is chosen to be adopted by a rich family, and the other three have a more difficult life. The web series is directed by Vijay Maurya, who is also the director of Gully Boy.
