There is no denying that Bollywood has had a profound impact on how people in the Indian subcontinent fall (and live) in love. Hindi romantic films have been at the forefront of pop culture in India and have affected lives in more ways than one. One of the figures behind the rise and rise of the romantic genre in Hindi films is legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra. On the occasion of Valentine's Day this year, streaming giant Netflix will release a docuseries with some of the biggest names of Bollywood, including Yash Chopra's media-elusive son, director Aditya Chopra, speaking of the late filmmaker and his work. 

Celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Madhuri Dixit, Karan Johar, Katrina Kaif Rani Mukerji (also Yash Chopra's daughter-in-law), Juhi Chawla and Anushka Sharma, among others feature in the trailer. Late Rishi Kapoor is seen with wife, actress Neetu Singh in the video released by Netflix on social media.

The icing on the cake is the promise of Aditya Chopra's appearance in the series. We do not see him in the teaser, with an empty chair filling the frame. His voice, however, marks its presence in the video. The trailer begins with the actors being asked whether they like the term Bollywood. To this, legendary writer Salim Khan says, “No, I don't like that word.” Ranbir Kapoor too says, “Hate it!”
