Modern Love Chennai (2023– )

Just one word, BLISS!

[8/10 · 18 May 2023]

A beautiful representation of love at its finest. Loved the perfomances enacted by each and every actor, for sure the best tamil anthology closely followed by Paava Kathaigal. Music is so good.

GVP, Sean Aldron,Yuvan and Illaiyaraja sir are the pillairs of the show and have done an extraordinary job with the music.

In particular loved Rajumurgan's Lalagunda Bommaigal with a fascinating gouri priya

Imaigal from Balaji shaktivel was lovely. Tj bhanu aced it

Ritu varma's episode was fun and relateable

Margazhi was a bit boring but fine

Bhartiraja disappointed

TK's story was alright. Wamiqa charming

overall a good anthology for tamil cinema for sure

Rating:3.75/5.

Iru Dhuruvam (2019– )

A Decent who dun it/ Cat and mouse thriller

[7/10 · 1 March 2023]

Season 1 directed by Kumaran was a neat thriller that had a very poor production value.

Detailed Review on 2nd Season:

Directed by Arun Prakash this thriller series released on sonyliv and is a decent cat and mouse thriller web series.

Positives:

The kick ass antagonist character Lankeshwaran portrayed by Prasanna is the root cause for this series being a good one

Better production value ,the first season wasn't that rich and felt mediocre cause of its low cost. But this season was well made.

Technically better than season 1

Though killer is revealed it manages to be investigation.

Sai Priyanka Ruth and Lingaa are good and characters were written complex yet well

Negatives:

Nandhaa and Abhirami's perfomance felt artificial and they didnt emote well. Nandhaa's daughter character is irritating and unnecessary

Not very thrilling

Runtime was a lot

Story could have had more twists and turns

Few unconvincing episodes and scenes

Verdict:

This series could have been better but it is engaging and it is worth a watch. Decent. Awaiting Season 3

Rating: 3.25/5.

Engga Hostel (2023– )

A Missed Opportunity

[6/10 · 1 March 2023]

Engga Hostel is a adult comedy genre web series which launches TVF's tamil debut. The series stars a complete set of new actors.

Positives:

This series is strictly for those who like American Sitcoms. For regular cinema go-ers this series will not work.

The actors performance is delightful and they are very convincing as well as a promising debuts from the new comers

A very good production value from Prime Video

This is a technically strong series

Sendhil character's writing and acting is the biggest positive for this series

Negatives:

Repetative scenes Chittapu character is extremely annoying.

Poor direction Humor could have worked well The creators are stuck in a complex whether to make it a pure adult comedy or not which makes most scenes flat

Verdict:

A watchable fun series which could have been better. Hostel Daze is btr but this ain't bad.

Rating: 3/5.

Story of Things (2023– )

A SLOW PACED THRILLER!

[5/10 · 28 February 2023]

Directed by Geroge K Anthoney this 5 part Anthology web series is purely based on guilt and how guilt makes the lead protagonist's to perceive a object as the element which makes them feel guilty was interesting and a unique attempt.

Positives:

Fresh story Massive cast Interesting premise Blissful episode 5 which is so heartwarming Decent episodes with thrills Technically strong

Negatives:

The big problem I faced viewing this series was the slow paced theme that made me feel bored in most parts of the show.

Verdict: If you like slow paced thrillers watch it If you dont like slow paced thrillers watch Episode 5 starring Vinoth Kishan and Anshitha and the Cellular episode featuring Aditi Balan and Gauthami. EP 2 and EP 5 are superb!

Rating: 2.5/5.

Ayali (2023– )

A DECENT SOCIAL DRAMA

[7/10 · 28 February 2023]

Ayali is a bold and sensible drama that every one of us should watch. Though the relevancy might be questionable giving the fact that we are in the 20th century like the director MuthuKumar says there are multiple towns where women are disrespected and married of at a very young and gullible age.

Positives:

The brilliant performances enacted by the sensible actors who understand the extent of acting are the strength for this series. Abi Nakshatra the lead actress is convincing in most parts but the parts were she acts to brilliant are a bit annoying.

Anumol, Madhan, TSR and Lingaa are good in portraying their roles. Gayathri is fantastic.

The screenplay, humor and the way the story dealt by Muthu is the reason this series is good

A good production value and well made

Negatives:

Over acting in few scenes.

Lengthy Lots of lags

Verdict:

A worthy web series which has its minor flaws but overall a good watch!

Rating: 3.25/5.
