Modern Love Chennai

This anthology is very well executed and good to watch. All the episodes are different from one another and couple of them even with long conversation between characters, it is not boring at all. Whether it is background score or songs, the music is top notch. I was not expecting much on this anthology and liked it a lot.

As usual episode by TK is completely different and his style is unique. Ilayaraja even at his age brings out a refreshing music that suits well with all the episodes. This is a surprising treat to watch all these 6 episodes. It would have been better to have two more episodes.

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.

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.

Modern Love Chennai is amazing in all aspects. Awesome collection of love stories adapted from new york times. This anthology is very well executed with great storytelling.
