Modern Love Mumbai

Nice stories.

Realistic and very relatable.

All stories are unique, some a little offbeat but worth watching Individual stories, woven together at the end.

Would love to watch more of these.

Late to the party but finally watched Modern Love Mumbai. An anthology of beautiful love stories that are refreshing to watch.

What a scene stealing performance by Fatima Sana Shaikh in Raat Rani. My favourite of the lot.

Baai directed by Hansal Mehta is another lovely story with such a sensitive performance by Pratik Gandhi. Not to forget some gorgeous tunes.

Mumbai Dragon has Vishal Bhardwaj's stamp all over.

Sarika looks ageless in My Beautiful Wrinkles and delivers an excellent performance.

The weakest of the lot for me was I Love Thane despite a delightful Masaba.

The last one Cutting Chai is immensely watchable thanks to Arshad Warsi & Chitrangada Singh.

Overall in 5 out of 6 stories women steal the show.

A perfect ode to the city of Mumbai with all the stories culminating together neatly.

Liked all the episodes, refreshing tale of love portrayed beautifully.

Cutting chai is probably the best among all of these. Raat Rani, Mumbai Dragon and I Love Thane also very nice.

Modern Love: Mumbai is a retelling of the NYT's original Modern Love which is based on modern love stories based in New York. This is in fact more than just a retelling. It is an Indianised (and also Mumbaiya) version which not only delve deeper into the romance aspects but also the human and family emotions which Indian stories are known for.

The stories range from subtle new age romance in 'I Love Thane' to the gullible extravaganza of 'Raat Rani'. On one hand we have these taboo breaking yet already heavily experimented love stories in 'Baai' and 'My Beautiful Wrinkles' while on the other hand we have totally refreshing and unique storytelling like 'Mumbai Dragon'.

This series not only celebrates the new age romance but also portrays the repurcussions that love can have when that love is set in a cosmopolitan setup like Mumbai.

My absolute favourites are 'I Love Thane' for its simplistic approach to love, it is a signature Dhruv Sehgal romance, and Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Mumbai Dragon' for telling such a different story from the rest.

This series could have been any city. Why did they name it Modern love mumbai ? Nothing mumbai about the series. Good attempt . But if you are naming it mumbai - expected more of the city in stories.
