Modern Love Chennai -2023- Web Series ~upd~ (2025)

Veteran director Bharathiraja returns to form with this deeply autobiographical tale. Loosely based on the New York Times column "Taking a Chance on Love Again," the story follows a widowed grandfather (played by Bharathiraja himself) who finds unexpected companionship through a Facebook friendship with a younger woman.

The genius of this anthology is that it understands a fundamental truth about Chennai: The city is not about grand gestures; it is about survival. Love here is not a Bollywood song on a Swiss mountain. It is adjusting the pillow for your depressed wife. It is arguing with your father’s ghost about the ethics of pre-marital sex. It is hearing a stranger’s voice on a pirate radio station and deciding to burn the world down for her. Modern Love Chennai -2023- Web Series
