After Lust Stories, Ghost Stories, Pitta Kathalu, and Ajeeb Daastaans, Netflix is now all set for its next anthology titled Ray. Earlier, this year, when Netflix had announced its lineup, Ray was also on the list.


Today, the OTT platform has announced the release date of Ray. The anthology will start streaming on Netflix on 25th June 2021.

Netflix India took to Twitter to make an announcement about it. They tweeted, “Great actors, great directors and great stories! The wait for this one might be a bit too much for us to handle. #Ray, premieres June 25. @BajpayeeManoj @kaykaymenon02 @alifazal9 @HarshKapoor_ @shweta_official @radhikamadan01 @bose_anindita10 #RaghubirYadav @raogajraj.”

Ray stars Manoj Bajpayee, Kay Kay Menon, Ali Fazal, Harshvardhan Kapoor, Shweta Basu Prasad, Radhika Madan, Raghubir Yadav, Gajraj Rao, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Bidita Bag and others.

The anthology is directed by three filmmakers, Abhishek Chaubey (Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa), Srijit Mukherji (Forget Me Not and Bahrupiya), and Vasan Bala (Spotlight).

On Netflix, Ray is described as, “From a satire to a psychological thriller, four short stories from celebrated auteur and writer Satyajit Ray are adapted for the screen in this series.”

With such a talented star cast and amazing directors, we surely have high expectations from Ray.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
