E! on Friday confirmed its plans to release the rom-coms Arranged Love, Ms. Match and Platonic this summer. Specific dates weren’t disclosed, though you can now view a teaser for all three films above.
Arranged Love centers on Meera, who after fleeing an arranged marriage as a young woman, leaving India and her inheritance behind, has made a name for herself in the tech world and now runs her own startup. When a costly problem threatens her company, however, marriage is exactly what she needs to solve it. In order to collect her inheritance in India, Meera comes up with a plan to inform her family she is, in fact, married – to the handsome Rama she met only moments ago – and returns home with him to sign the paperwork. As they keep up the ruse, Meera and Rama find themselves developing genuine chemistry, but this new arrangement brings yet another surprise.

Idol (2011)
Kranti Kanade’s short Idol (2011) comes across first as a plain narrative of irreconcilable tension between the two generations in a Marathi family. The son is a devoted fan of Maradona, a football giant who scored the “goal of the century,” and his father believes in the worship of Ganesh and sticks to his fatherly authority. The son isn’t allowed to watch Maradona on TV in the house, for what was a crucial match. The tension leads to fits of temper and anger which seem sad but inevitable. The narrative remains with you to dwell on deeper issues of the divide in belief systems. The modernism of the football games and telecasts are pitted against the non-negotiable authority of the fathers. The short has the economy of the form, the brevity of presenting an issue and the insight of raising questions. A clean and crisp work, the film...
