With Valentine's Day knocking on the door this week, we sit with our creators Rohini Ramnathan, Suchin Mehrotra and Vishal Menon, to discuss love, love, and love. We delve deep into the varied forms of companionship and care shown in Indian Cinema, and come up with stories we’d want to see pan out on screen. They talk about the unconventionality of love in films/shows such as the Vijay Sethupathi - Trisha starrer 96, the new age Netflix India release - Kho Gaye Hum Kahan starring Ananya Pandey, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Adarsh Gourav; and many more.
