Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari
From exploring the complexities of relationships in Ajeeb Daastaans to the breezy Feels Like Ishq, filmmakers have brought us varied shades of romance with the two anthologies. Now, Netflix India is ready to roll out another anthology, Ankahi Kahaniya. Directors Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Abhishek Chaubey and Saket Chaudhary will take us through the winding paths of love and longing as actors Abhishek Banerjee, Zoya Hussain, Kunal Kapoor and Rinku Rajguru bring their stories to life in the RSVP Movies production.

Tiwari is no stranger to romance, having helmed the delightful Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017). The director says her latest outing will blur the lines between reality and fantasy. “I want to challenge myself as a storyteller with every story. [With my latest offering], I hope to captivate the imagination of movie lovers with questions of untold emotions that every human goes through,” she states.
For his short film starring Rajguru and Delzad Hiwale, Chaubey of Udta Punjab (2016) fame has gone back to the ’80s. It is as much an ode to the innocence of young love as it is to Mumbai’s single-screen cinemas. The filmmaker says, “When you’re young and caged in Mumbai, looking for love is a sweet escape. What’s better than finding it at the movies, however fleetingly?” Chaudhary counts himself lucky to be part of the anthology as he says, “Love stories have always been one of my favourite genres.”
