The Modern love bandwagon makes its next halt in the city of Hyderabad, after Mumbai. The six-part anthology does not delve into very complex themes, like the Mumbai version, but subtly hits all the right chords, thanks to its talented ensemble.

EPISODE 1-&nbsp;My unlikely pandemic dream partner 
The opening episode is a sweet whiff of old Hyderabad. Noori (Nithya Menon) is recuperating from a knee surgery and has an unwelcome guest, her mother, Mehrunissa (Revathi). Six years ago, Noori left her parent’s house to marry a man her mother did not approve of. Now, the duo is forced to share a house with the world going into a lockdown. Personally, this was the only episode that did complete justice to the Hyderabadi culture - be it the Urdu/Telugu lingo they adopted, the quintessential Hyderabadi delicacies featured or an array of atmospheric shots to bring the city to life. Both Revathi and Nithya Menon have delivered powerful yet poignant performances. Their journey to reconciliation over Mehrunissa’s culinary prowess is a must watch.

EPISODE 2-&nbsp;Fuzzy, Purple and Full of Thorns 
In ‘Fuzzy, Purple and Full of Thorns,’ Renu (Ritu Verma) finds herself obsessing over a pair of stilettos that belong to her partner Uday’s (Aadi) ex. She is dealing with a double-edged conundrum wherein her partner is repulsive to the notion of marriage and has an ex’s stilettos sitting in his cupboard, that pique her insecurities regarding the relationship itself. The theme in hand is serious, but conveyed through humour, Is that enough? I doubt it. Does it merely scratch the surface of a much bigger modern-day problem? I suppose.

EPISODE 3-&nbsp;Why did she leave me there…? 
If you love somebody, you set them free. This episode rides on this ideology. In ‘Why did she leave me there,’ we are introduced to Rohan (Naresh Agastya), a successful entrepreneur, battling with the wounds of his childhood. The episode goes back and forth in time showing Rohan’s younger days with his Ammama (grandmother) and Akka (elder sister). The story has a predictable trajectory, yet is a classic tear-jerker. Suhasini as Ammama and Advitej Reddy Chaklet who plays Ramulu (younger Rohan) complement each other’s performances in this episode. To foster such heavy emotions on screen is not easy, that too in front of a stalwart like Suhasini, but Advitej does it flawlessly.

EPISODE 4-&nbsp;What Clown Wrote This Script 
To be fair, this is my least favourite episode. I like how the city’s love for cinema anchors the story, but the execution of it is all over the place. It features Vandana (Malvika Nair) as a stand-up comic and Ashwin (Abhijeet Duddala) as a producer who wants to pursue OTT. The one big let-down of this story is its messy portrayal of a situation where two young and driven individuals take their professional relationship to a personal zone. It has some comic moments which sadly do not add much to the story.

EPISODE 5-About that rustle in the bushes 
In the penultimate episode ‘About that rustle in the bushes,’ we are pushed into questioning whether there exists something like well-intentioned stalking. In the father-daughter tale, the daughter Sneha (Ulka Gupta) is trying to explore the world of modern-day dating after a failed marriage, while the father attempts to look out for his daughter in his own earnest, albeit problematic ways. The execution is simple with carefully sandpapered edges, making it an easy-breezy watch.

EPISODE 6-&nbsp;Finding your Penguin 
The quirkiest of the lot, yet insightful, this episode of modern love Hyderabad has my heart. The quest to find one’s soulmate can be interesting but not as interesting as the protagonist, Indu’s (Komalee Prasad). If I give out the plot details, I might give away the whole story, for the end revelation is a must-watch. Overall funny, the story is a treat to watch.

To round it up, 'Modern love Hyderabad' is like a warm, comforting cup of hot chocolate on a metaphorically wintery night. It has some clichés, but nonetheless a good watch.

'Modern Love Hyderabad' review: It provides a full spectrum of feel-good emotions

After winning audiences’ hearts with beautiful and unique love stories with Modern Love Mumbai, Amazon Prime Video is once again receiving praises for launching the second local and fictionalized edition of the international series set in Hyderabad. Inspired by the famous New York Times column, Modern Love Hyderabad told 6 stories set in the unique milieu of Hyderabad, highlighting different facets of love and human relationships. Here are a few reasons the Hyderabad chapter of Modern Love should be on your watchlist without a doubt.&nbsp;

A love letter to Hyderabad

Without a doubt, the City of Pearls is one of the most unique cities in India, offering a distinct and culturally vibrant vibe. Hyderabad beautifully blends the old city with the new suburbs, boasts of a diverse demographic of natives and non-natives, perhaps has one of the richest cuisines – a melange of various cultural influences, and is a thriving destination for new-age business sectors. For all those who aren’t aware of the city’s rich tapestry, the episodes of Modern Love Hyderabad will give a good peek at this fabulous city and pique your need for food and adventure. Watch it and find out for yourself. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Love that goes beyond romance!

As promised in the trailer, Modern Love Hyderabad goes beyond the man-woman relationship. The anthology boasts of 3 stories that explore the familial loves - between parent and child, grandparent and grand kid, and the remaining episodes touch upon different stages of modern-day love relationships, from dating dilemmas to budding romance to couple comedies. With constant chatter to be inclusive of all kinds of love, it’s refreshing that the series captures the often forgotten and overlooked bonds of affection and attachment.&nbsp;

Powerhouse of performers

While the stories may seem ordinary, be rest assured that the talented cast who have put in their heart and soul in their respective characters, make each episode extraordinary and enjoyable. Some of the finest actors from the Indian film industry like Suhasini Maniratnam, Revathy, Nithya Menen, Aadhi Pinisetty, Ritu Varma, Naresh, Abijeet Duddala to rising talent like Komalee Prasad, Naresh Agastya and Ulka Gupta come together in this series, making these characters relevant and want to tug at your heartstrings. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

An eclectic set of creators

Modern Love Hyderabad is Amazon Prime Video’s first Telugu Original that reinstates the streaming service’s commitment to creating stories that are rooted in the local ethos and culture. And it’s interesting they roped in Elahe Hiptoola and Nagesh Kukunoor who through Hyderabad Blues introduced this city to mainstream film audiences, and now they have taken it a step further with this Amazon Original series. While Nagesh Kukunoor has co-written all episodes and directed 3 stories, the remaining episodes are helmed by Venkatesh Maha, Uday Gurrala and Devika Bahudhanam. Each director lends their personal perspective and creative voice to their respective stories, making it truly unique.&nbsp; 
 
So, what are you waiting for? With the monsoon mood setting in, indulge in these warm and sweet stories of love, growth, resilience, and the power of healing with Modern Love Hyderabad that’s now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
