Feels Like Ishq

'Feels Like Ishq' is a run-of-the-mill anthology series featuring 6 stories centered around couples that explore love and relationships. While it is not a bad attempt, most of the stories fail to make any lasting impact.

1. Save the Da(y)te: Starring the talented duo of Radhika Madan and Amol Parashar, this story follows a chance encounter between a bridesmaid and a wedding organizer as all hell breaks loose at a ceremony. Nevertheless, poor writing and the lack of any genuine chemistry between the two leads makes it a boring watch.

2. Quaranteen Crush: Starring relative unknowns Kajol Chugh and Mihir Ahuja, this story follows a naive teenager as he crushes on his new neighbor and bonds over their love for music. A tender, joyous love story that is elevated by the theme of corona and quarantine, this ends up being the best of the lot.

3. Star Host: Centered aroud an inn owner who falls for his guest, this short stars a terrific Rohit Saraf alongside the sub-par Simraj Jehani. The romance however, seems very forced and inorganic and one cant really connect with this one.

4. She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: The worst of the lot, this short talks about the love affair that develops between an ad executive and her new boss. Both the leads Sanjeetha Bhattacharya and Saba Azad lack authenticity and ooze pretentiousness in this damp squib of a tale.

5. Interview: Zayne Marie Khan and Neeraj Madhav put a smile on our faces with this earnest romantic short about a couple of job aspirants who fall in love during an interview that they have both applied for. Sparkling chemistry and tender humor makes this an enjoyable experience.

6. Ishq Mastana: A preachy, contrived story of a recently heartbroken youngster who tries to court an environmental activist, this one is a tedious watch. Both Tanya Maiktala and Skand Thakur put in shambolic performances that fail to stir you.

It is very difficult to create a connection with the audience with 30 minute shorts and even more so when it comes to romantic storylines. Nevertheless, due to the sincerity and feel of 'Interview' and 'Quaranteen Crush', this is a worthwhile experience.

Recommended-Quaranteen Crush & Interview. Skip the rest.

Only 2 out of the 6 were worth watching.

Episode 1 & 2 were great!

3, okay.

4, pretty bad, extremely loose storyline.

5, a bit better.

6, again loose.

All Shorts are worth watching. Excellent stories and great casting. Creative music and full of romance. If you love real cinema, you won't regret it. If you are a logical person and have a sense of cinema, you won't regret it.

I am not going to give more impressive review for that. But i enjoyed this series. It is like you read mini stories of news paper. It is very simple vibe . Not more thing to explain. But some stories make mind relaxing vibe. Actually i appreciate their effort make this kind series. But this total vibe is not fit to current youth vibe. I think that why not super hot type series this. But this have deep taste about humanity related characters. Directors do totally good job to theme of this series. But have more things to improve whole series. Some stories have good end, but some one are not good. If you are want to watch something calm vibe series this is !

All 6 stories are regular run-of-the-mill but refreshing. None of them are wowing/mind-blowing, but you might find yourself wanting more in some cases. The acting was good for the most part, all six eps were very well shot too.

The characters fall under the "sweet/innocent" for the most part, and overall, you could say that these were six short "feel good" episodes. If that's your thing, totally check it out. Also check it out if you've been watching a lot of content from the same genre.
