Modern Love Mumbai

All stores in this series start with good subject but slowly looses the plot. Except for the peppy and hilarious Mumbai Dragon & a bold but realistic My Beautiful Wrinkles, there's nothing much going on in the rest of the stories.

Vishal Bhardwaj does an awesome job with the age old subject the relationship between a mother her son and the son's partner.

Alankrita Shrivastava also beautifully handles the topic of love and romance and the expectations around it especially when there is a big age gap between the participating couple.

All actors have tried to give their best but its the writing and the overall treatment that a let down.

I would say its an honest attempt to show something fresh but still lacks the emotional punch.

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.

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.

What an ensemble of talented actors and directors! Heartily created stories...beautifully rendered. Many moments from the series touch a nerve...many scenes take us back to the fond memories lived in the lanes of Mumbai. Do watch once.

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.
