ZEE5 brings to you Forbidden Love, a series of four enthralling stories of modern-day relationships that explore issues frowned upon by society. We got a chance to catch the first two stories of this anthology and absolutely fell in love with them! Read our review.
This September, brace up for four unconventional tales of finding love and acceptance from award-winning directors in ZEE5’s latest series, Forbidden Love. In an era, where love has become complicated and the idea of a ‘perfect marriage’ is often nothing more than a societal cliché; these thrilling love sagas aim straight for the heartstrings as they highlight issues that are often brushed under the carpet.
Each of the four poignant films, deal with subjects that are still frowned upon by mainstream cinema and are helmed by stalwarts like Priyadarshan, Pradeep Sarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar and Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. The films are an obvious sign that Indian cinema has come-of-age with its portrayal of unconventional love with maturity and how audiences are ready to deal with new-age love in the way that it should be.
The first two movies – Arranged Marriage and Anamika – explore the tradition of marriage and how it jostles with modern love and aspirations revealing many dark secrets and disturbing lives. These stories delve into themes of same-sex relationships and a middle-aged married woman finding love outside wedlock. They premiere on the OTT platform on September 9.
