Modern Love Chennai

Watched just.... Neinaivoo Oru Paravai. Wow.... what to say, for the first half, i was like what the heck going on. The way the story and real connects. Wow.... what a screenplay. He made us feel, what he is not saying is worth not saying ... wow. Just 2 more things to not being a spoiler.

Man.... at 80. How in the world Raja can do it. What kind of music is that? I don't think he had done anything like this ever. I was wondering what kinds of instrument he used

1. I wish i did not know it was ilayaraja before watching 2. While Thyagarajan had picked a super performing female character, why a dummy male 😊

This is an anthology so i would like to review each episode seperately.

Lalagunda Bommaigal Its tottally north chennai based , a so astonishing and true story which was taken beautifully. Its a story of a rugged girl and a so called love which was show cased beautifully. All characters did their role to perfect. But some how it didnt connect as like other films. Sean roldan was the true hero with his songs.

Imaigal This was one of best of the lot, a so satifying and a feel good story. It was deep and touching. TJ bhanu and ashok selvan did a wonderful job with their performances. Yuvan's music is magical. The direction and writing is so good. Her eyes speak like magical tune.

Kadhal enbathu kanula heart irukura emoji This is one of the cringest story , may some of you like it but i havent enjoyed so much. Ritu varma did justice to her role, a hasini role in action. Cud have been better with some good writing.

Margazhi This is one of the worst of the lot, not much dailogues too much visuals and there is too much lagging in the content. The director must have convinced the producer abt this film i have think. But every frame work in this episode is so beautiful and artistic the location selection is osm. I think it was taken in parangimalai, which one one has ever explored. So kudos to that but story and screenplay need improvement. The true hero was Ilayaraja , the best album of the lot. Nenjil oru minnal is the best of the lot an osm melody gives a retro feel.

Paravai kootil vaazhum maangal Its an affair love story, starring ramya kishore and viji. Omg what a romantic drama this is, awesomeness , it was truely an epic bharathiraja. The one cut song to showcase the love portion using en iniya pon nilave is just melting. Bringing me to retro feel. A so good story and screenplay.

My second best.

Ninaivo Oru Paravai I am so vonfused by this , because i dont really get whats happening in this film to be frank. Maybe i need to take a lot assumptions, i know kumara raja doesnt explain his films but this one really need some. The screenplay is really non linear , maybe he is trying to convince something which i cudnt understand. The camera colour saturation lighting, a typical kumaraja theme. Music is stand out, could have been clear tat was the issue, this is the longest one in the lot. Wamiqa and pk did their roles to perfect.

From writing to screenplay, the efforts that have gone into making this is clearly visible for the general audience. If you enjoy watching a lot of content, this is a series for you. I myself enjoyed each movie with different emotions and challenges common people face in their lives and episode 5 and 6 being my favourite episodes, I surely believe these 2 broke a few barriers. The entire cast and crew are to be applauded for their work as this is surely not a forgettable series if you enjoy each frame, the pauses, the expressions, the emotions, camera angles, etc. Many things happen in everyone's life and what seems like unimportant moments have also been captured portraying that these things too happen in real life and not cropping it out like they do in movies. Overall - If you are one to watch slow yet enjoyable content with a lot of emotions, this is for you.

Modern love is famous for telling stories which are a little different from the idea of regular love/romance. It also explores love in relationships beyond "lovers". Therefore, this series doesn't capture the essence of modern love universe.

It has simple love stories which we have seen before quite a few times. If you're looking to watch light hearted romance, then, this series works will work for you. You'd be disappointed if you want to re-experience the original Modern Love Franchise.

I really enjoyed the 2nd episode as it was quite different and kept me hooked. 6th was also nice!

Another thing I liked was how they picked stories from all different classes, stratas, etc.

Based on the new york times not engaging but a bliss to every movie buff with each segment staying genuine to ur heart and a paradise to experience... Nothing short of a gem with all the women characters doing a fantastic job with vibrant Illayaraja in a new avatar... And the camera by Jeeva Shankar ( Assistant of Jeeva) and Nirav Shah also Vikas Vasudevanevan launch a spearhead attack on our visual appetite... Not to specify a particular episode overall the series is a hidden gem and a ray of hope for every thirsty movie buff... The way offerings are highlighted in modern love can't get better than this with vibrant colours, performance and crafted direction and visual grandeur...
