The trailer opens up with Karan Johar inviting audiences to explore the meaning of love with genuine, heartfelt stories and goes on to introduce real-life couples and give a glimpse into their journey. These diverse narratives of love in its many shades promise to not only engage and immerse one in these special stories but also encourage viewers to look at life from a different perspective, making it an ideal Valentine’s Day watch.
“It has been an exhilarating journey to capture Rahul and Subhadra’s story in Raah Sangharsh Ki. My own background and experiences allowed me to connect to their story at a personal level. Their narrative exemplifies how love sometimes requires the courage to stand up against societal expectations and norms,” said director Akshay Indikar.
He ads, “As a filmmaker, it gives me great pride to tell their story and be a part of Love Storiyaan. It is a series that will fill one with hope and joy. I am truly looking forward to bringing this story to Prime Video’s customers in India and across the world."
“As a storyteller, I have always wanted to explore and understand love and I believe it is going to take several films for me to truly understand it! Being a part of Love Storiyaan, exploring this emotion of love with 5 other directors with their unique perspectives has been a very special experience.” said director Archana Phadke.
“With my film Faasley, I really wanted to understand resilient love. A love that travels across time, across continents, against different forces to survive. In that, I found Dhanya and Homayon’s story, who protected their love against all odds. I believe this story will spread ideas of strength and hope to a wide audience as it did with me," added Phadke.
“It was very exciting for me to delve into Tista and Dipan's extraordinary love story, which celebrates courage and bravery, and how their transformative journey brought them together,” said director Collin D’Cunha.
“My story titled Love Beyond Labels is about defying societal prejudices while preserving their true selves; that is what makes Love Storiyaan a beautiful watch. Somen and I, along with the other directors, wanted to create an emotional and visual mosaic of these real people and their stories, and we hope the viewers can appreciate and relate to them,"Collin D’Cunha further said.
