I have jaw pain, and I blame it on this series. It's impossible to resist a smile when exposed to such amity and gaiety. Everything about this TSP's production describing blossom of teenage dalliance is sweet, like a spoonful sugar and leaves a strong lingering aftertaste.

While the series manages to get a lot of the elements right, from innocence and gullibility of tender age to a meaningful plotline, the best aspect has to be their fresh and novel take on a theme that is ubiquitous and a writer's favorite -first love. The approach is more or less focused on lighter and frivolous elements like first dates, late night texts, and goofy awkward conversations. Although there are times of despair, heartaches and misunderstandings but the ethos of the show never get gloomy and the optimism is infectious.

Episodes begin with narrator Pradeep Kaushal (Deepesh Sumitra Jagdish) explaining romance with witty analogies to chemistry. Tasteful Bollywood tracks in the background mark significant milestones in the evolving relationship of protagonists. Tanya Maniktala and Ritvik Sahore almost seem to be born for roles for Ishita and Rajat, tuition mates who fall for each other. Fast-paced writing and direction is engaging and steers clear of overused corny settings and phrases.

The show is an quintessential feel-good watch, with gooey moments that resonate well with viewers.

This is a #cute and #bestOfRomance web series which is relatable to each of its viewers. As we can see the tagline of this series is Padhai aur Pyaar which means Studies and Love. This is the real situation of the protagonist in this series, where he is struggling with his Sunshine Tuition Class in Delhi and her heroine. He is actually a topper but usually spends most of his time bonding with his girl over street food. Its #nostalgic and at the same time a #romcom so you can say that it is pretty much #entertaining. We can always hear 90s love songs playing at the back which is the best part about this series.

The show is set in Delhi and revolves around a coaching class where all the magic unfolds. Rajat, a studious science student and his two best friends, Anusha and Gaurav go to the same coaching classes. A new student in the art class, Ishita, sparks curiosity in Rajat who instantly falls for her. Ishita seems interested in him and agrees to go on a date with him. An awful misunderstanding ensues between them due to a baseless rumor. Ishita is furious and Rajat can’t find any way to gain her trust back. The story is narrated by the chemistry teacher played by DeepeshSumitraJagdish in the form of chemistry concepts which is relatable to the young demographic. This approach is very creative.
The episodes are named after evergreen 90’s love songs and the background score also features these songs from time to time which is sure to make the viewers nostalgic.
The lead actors ace their parts of the local Delhi youth. A special mention to ShivamKakkar who is rib-tickling as Rajat’s hopeless best friend.
The dialogues are hilarious. The chemistry teacher as the best, most sarcastically hilarious lines. Not to forget, the banter between Anusha and Gaurav that reminds us of Rahul-Anjali of KuchKuchHotaHai!
Flames is the most realistic one could get to college/ tuition class romances. The awkward conversation, butterflies and that one well-intentioned teacher, Flames has it all covered for us to grow wistful of our good all’ days. Highly recommended watch.

The giddy, overwhelming teenage love, the infatuations, the 'firsts' of everything forms the base of this story, with the old romantic Bollywood songs forming the foreground and the thralling, captivating teenage years forming the subtle background to this nostalgic story. Typically puerile and 'teenage-y', it represents the circumstances of the quintessential student life well. Overall, a nice show.

Flames is an Indian teenage drama web series by The Timeliners. It follows the story of 4 friends in a tuition class and their relationships. The show is all about innocent love and is quite sweet. What is amazing is it that the every character gets enough time to establish themselves and give them an arc of their own. Writing is truly commendable. It manages to capture the feelings of teenagers in realistic manner and us it to their advantage. The episodes have apt duration and keep you hooked on to your screen. The lead cast gets the job done.

Flames is set in a tuition center in West Delhi where students of 11th and 12th standard come in to polish up their Maths and Chemistry. The show is narrated by the head of the coaching center, played by Deepesh Sumitra Jagdish, who maintains a tone which will remind you of Neelesh Misra. The story revolves around teenage love, heartbreak and will soon transport you to the days when getting a cursory nod from your crush meant the world.

While the show is set in present day, the makers try to tap into the 90s nostalgia which feels quite manipulative at times as you know that these students were born much after the “Pehla Nasha” days.

Flames is a romedy web series based on the teenage student. It is a sweet romantic series which unfolds as a chemical reaction. This web series is released by The Timeliners. It is in the form of a narrative, which gives the 90’s nostalgia because of the romantic tone. I really enjoyed the series and had a great time watching it. It made me laugh, cry and fall in love. The screenplay was great and all the actors did a wonderful job. The chemistry concepts used for referring to the situations was a great idea. It is must watch for all the romedy lovers and especially teens who are in there plus two. For me, it was quite relatable. It can be watched on the TVF play app.

Do you still remember the way your heart skipped a beat on seeing your crush? That unexplained smile you wore on your face at once , whenever you had a eye contact with her/him? Those endless efforts you took just to get that one glance of that special person? And of course how can we forget the lengths you had to go to extract information about your crush. The series does exactly that. It explores and captures the feelings and emotions revolving around one's first love.
Set against the backdrop of a tuition center, the story revolves around Rajat's first love Ishita and how his friends Anusha and Pandey help him out in his quest to win Ishita's heart. Not just his friends, but his chemistry sir also helps him out with his dilemmas and issues associated with love and friendship. I must say, his tutor does a rather good job of convincing and helping him out in the end. Rajat is a studious and meritorious student who falls for the "new-girl" on the block Ishita, who happens to be equally brilliant in academics. Because of his shy demeanour he finds it difficult to approach Ishita, but due to continuous push from his friends Pandey and Anusha he finally approaches her. But to know what happens in the story further, you need to watch the series. It's a very lighthearted romance which will definitely make you reminiscent of your first love or perhaps your first crush. It's cute, sweet and innocent.
You can watch the series on TVF play app. So grab your popcorn, sheekanji and a tub of ice cream to enjoy the series with it's ups and downs. ISA KAWAI FREN LOG!

A cute nostalgic and sweet love story. This is a Timeliners original series, which would definitely make you nostalgic about your school days, and the cute crushes or infatuation, that we all have definitely had, back in our school days, the thought of which would still make our heart skip a bit, or would give us the feeling of butterflies in our stomach.
The story revolves around a tuition centre, named Sunshine Tuition Centre, where Rajat, a studious boy, has a crush and falls for a beautiful girl, Ishita, who is simple and well-behaved. She initially did not use to express herself much. Rajat has two very close and dear friends to him- they are Gaurav and Anusha. According to their tuition teacher Kaushal sir, Rajat and Gaurav were like "the C-C bond." The series continues through five episodes, where we see how Rajat makes friendship with Ishita, takes her out on a date, which was quite unplanned but according to him, "the best day." We find that the consequences would create some misunderstandings between Rajat and Ishita, as well as Rajat and Gaurav, but in the end, everything would be sorted, with some priceless advice from their very own Kaushal sir, about trust and friendship.

In short, this web-series portrays a beautiful example of friendship, love and trust. I think, this is a great watch for one and all. Director Apoorv Singh Karki has really done a wonderful job. The episodes are available on the TVF Play app. So, go and check it out!

We've all had crushes growing up, and the thing about first crush is a whole different level. This series shares the story of high school student who goes to tuition with his three friends. And like any typical student he's serious about his studies and school and stuff, but like a teenage heart he fell for a girl who went to the same tuition. And the story goes on to show us he sweet side of teenage-love stories and how a teen works their way through all this.
Its pretty relatable, totally worth watching. it sure brings some nostalgia of the school days. It is a "Timeliners" original series, you can find it on YouTube.
Happy watching!!

Do you still miss the first time your heart skipped a bit?
Do your friends tease you by mentioning "her" name in front of you?

Crush, Infatuation, and what not. We all have been through that phase where we did not what it meant for us to "falling in love". But yet, deep down inside we all wish that phase never ended. Or maybe it is just me!

That said, FLAMES is one raw romance sit-com which makes you feel butterflies in your stomach just like those school/college days, depending on when exactly were Cupid decided to bite you. It does justice to the concept of teenage love, and has enough punch in the story to make you cry, laugh, but most importantly, remind you of all the lovely memories. The cast is brilliant, and would surely remind you of some of your friends for real. A must watch for Rom-com lovers!

A one time watch cute web series casting such awesome actors, it makes us recall those hidden chapters in our life when we all were in high school and had to go some tution or coaching institute. The same happens with rajjo , a shy guy who falls in love with a good looking girl in his tution when he suddenly looks at her for the first time and as their bond progress they start getting comfortable and awkward sometimes but keep the bond somehow which is quite realistic and makes this series a must watch. The series does not have a good big story but things go uncertain between rajjo and pandu and rajjo and ishita in the end of episode three which always happens in all kinds of relationships due to some misunderstanding. Later rajjo's chemistty sir explains him how to recover the situation, finally rajjo and pandu say sorry to each which was quite good to watch. The end is also satisfactory and good to watch as ishita takes time and forgives rajjo. The viewer goes through a number of emotions while watching ahich makes it spectacular one. There are fights, love ,friendship, etc.
