‘I Love Thane’ - A love letter to thairaav

You know that one word - ‘Thairaav’! That’s the feeling I’ve generally gotten seeing stuff made by Dhruv Sehgal.

And that’s the feeling you’ll experience while watching his latest - ‘I Love Thane’ - Episode 5 of @primevideoin’s ‘Modern Love: Mumbai’.

In an incomprehensibly fast world, this is a love letter to slowness, to getting back to the basics, to being in touch with oneself, to not letting notifications and algorithms drive the day’s agenda! The story has symbolically embodied all of this in Thane and residents of Mumbai will understand why!

Dhruv Sehgal has not only written this (along with Nupur Pai), he’s also Directed it! Kudos to Pritish Nandy for Producing a rare more-wins-than-losses anthology for Indian OTTs. And what restrained, refreshing performances by Masaba Gupta and Ritwik Bhowmik!

Watch this one to enrich yourself!
