An anthology like Modern Love, set in Chennai, comprises captivating stories.

The first segment, Lalagunda Bommaigal by Raju Murugan, showcases his storytelling flair. Sean Roldan's song Pandaya Pura and Prasanna Ram Kumar's role add intrigue.

Imaigal by Balaji Sakthivel (known for classics like Kaadhal and Vazhakku Enn 18/9) stars Bhanu and Ashok Selvan. It's a heartwarming tale about relationship challenges arising from unforeseen medical conditions.

Kaadhal Enbadhu Kannula Heart Irukkura Emoji, directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar, follows Mallika, whose ideas of love are shaped by cinema. The film's creation exudes charm – as do the egg puffs!

Margazhi tells the story of a girl finding solace in Ilaiyaraaja's music during a difficult phase. Enhanced by beautiful writing and Ilaiyaraaja's compositions, Nenjil Oru Minnal stands out as a must-listen.

Bharathiraja, renowned for relationship-focused films, presents Paravai Kootil Vaazhum Maangal – a mature tale about a married man, his wife, and his new love interest. Excellently paced and acted, it delivers what you'd expect from this theme.

Ninaivo Oru Paravai exemplifies Thiagarajan Kumararaja's complex storytelling. Wamiqa Gabbi shines in her role within Thaiga's intricate world.

The series' crowning glory is its stellar music album featuring Ilaiyaraaja, Yuvan, G V Prakash, and Sean Roldan – a treat worth repeating!
