The 'Other' Love Story

a very good web series in India. i live in it and i watch it every day not only one time but many time. i also watch it only for aachal my love. it is sad that lesbians and gays are not allowed in India also like here. it is a real love and the story is very magical and not like the western TV series with lots of sex scenes.

Very rarely you come across such a simple realistic love story in a day to day situation. The 2 college girls hv done a memorable role. Sweet series. The director and the 2 female actors hv to b commended for this beautiful piece.

I loved this show. This show deserves so much more praise than it's getting. I loved their love story, it was the purest love story ever!! The the atmosphere was raw and realistic. The director did such an Amazing job at bringing the story together. The actors we amazing too. It was just beautiful and emotional and I just loved it!!

Having enjoyed my youth in the 1990's, this series for me was a chance to re-live my love-life. It is an original, raw and the purest form of love brought on screen. Such an innocent but intense love story it is, written and directed by a young lady talent - Roopa Rao. Her attempt to go for such a sensitive concept that is still considered a taboo in a country like India, that too being an indie film maker with lots of budget stressing, she has some real guts. Her series as a whole and her work as a film-maker immensely impressed me. She has earned this for herself. Please rate this series with maximum votes and I personally request her to go for next season. Love you Roopa...

This story takes place in India, during the late1990s, where and when it was a complete taboo for any young woman to get involved in a lesbian relationship. Repercussions are grave and swift as parents exercised absolute control and authority to even their college aged daughters. Something we Americans don't often see and is therefore difficult at times to watch. In each episode of the web series, writer and director Roopa Rao guides the two young actresses, Spoorthi Gumaste and Shweta Gupta, who portray the protagonists, through a host of growing feelings. First friendship, then trust, then intensely growing love and finally longing. From their interviews, it appears that neither of these young ladies had ever played such a controversial role before, yet they managed to pull off a pureness and sincerity that has made them instant stars and beloved figures throughout Asia. Fans constantly clamor for a season 2 or sequel but the talented Ms Rao is exploring new areas to light up the silver screen with. I don't know if she realizes that this series may have heavily contributed to India's recent enlightenment and loosening of restrictions against lesbians and gays. The series of short episodes is refreshing, clean and touching and it makes me as an American spectator also wish for a sequel. It is well worth the watch. Enjoy!
