Modern Love Mumbai is an Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy anthology Amazon Prime Video series produced by Pritish Nandy, that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on May 13, 2022. Its episodes run from 40 to 45 minutes.Modern Love Mumbai is the Mumbai chapter based on the American anthology series Modern Love.


Lali is a cook, and her husband Lutfi is a security guard, in an upscale apartment in Mumbai, far from their native Kashmir. Long days end with ice cream - one cup, two spoons - until suddenly he dumps her, breaking her heart and shattering her dreams. All he leaves behind is his old bicycle. Then she learns how to live an independent life and she gets all the success and happiness in her life, she solves all the problems of her life.



  1. List down the contradictory symbols you observed in the episode “Raat Rani”.




In the episode of "Raat Rani" there is various contradictory symbols like.,

 1). Braking of the Roof(slap) ,which symbolises the breaking of Lali's marriage life.

 2).  Bridge, which symbolises various difficulties of her (Lali) life.

 3).  Lali's Bicycle, which symbolises Lali's strength.

 4).  Lali's Business, which symbolises her success.



  1. Which is your favourite symbol from Raat Rani? Why?


There are various symbols in this episode like .,

1). Braking of the Roof(slap) ,which symbolises the  breaking of Lali's marriage life.

 2).  Bridge, which symbolises various difficulties of her  (Lali) life.

 3).  Lali's Bicycle, which symbolises Lali's strength.

 4).  Lali's Business, which symbolises her success.


Among these all symbols, I like this symbol. 




'Lali's Bicycle' ,this is my favourite symbol , because throughout the episode Lali's relation with her Bicycle is very different and attractive. Lali's Bicycle symbolises her strength and it is desplas in this as her supporter. Lali is so much connected with her Bicycle and her Bicycle becomes her supporter in her critical situations and she got all the success with the help of her Bicycle.  



  1. Which is your favourite frame from the episode? Why?




My Favourite frame from this episode is this, because in this episode she (Lali) got success to cross the bridge. This frame is all about her success on her mission . 


This frame symbolises her success. During the crossing of bridge she got various difficulties and she also feels impossibllities to cross the bridge with bycicle and she tried to commit suicide but she never does that and she continuously tryes to cross the bridge and she got the success in it. This frame shows her inner feelings like problems and difficult situations which she got in her life. 


When her husband left her  and made her alone she chose to leave life independently instead of ruining her life in waiting for her husband. She faces various difficulties in her independent life but she never gives up and finally she got success in it. 



  1. Compare and write a note on all the women characters from Raat Rani.




There are three to four women characters in this episode. In the starting all the women characters live their lives according to their husband. But they faces problems in that life . 


Women characters of this episode is like., Lali and two other women. 


Lali :- Lali is a cook and the female protagonist of this episode. Lutfi is her husband and he is a security guard, in an upscale apartment in Mumbai. Once Lutfi leaves his wife alone. Then Lali learns how to live an independent life.  In her independent life she got various difficulties but in the end she got success in it.


Two other Women :- These Two women are from her workplace. They both also face lots of problems from their husband but they never learn of an independent life. They support  Lali alot in her difficult situations.   


  1. “Courage is Contagious” – Give an example for this from the episode.


" Courage is Contagious" means "When one man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened.” 


In this episode Lali takes a stand against his husband  and she decides to live life independently. The best example from this episode is Lali and the other two women. 


At the starting Lali got various difficulties and problems to live alone and an independent life but  as time passes she faces the situations and solves all the problems and she learns how to live independent and happy lives. In her independent life's journey, two other women ,where she works as a cook, both support her and help her. The woman is also not happy in her marriage life and she also takes a stand against her husband.


So, we can say that this episode is based on this message that we should not depend on others, we should live our lives independently.


  1. Share a picture of yours with a women who is your source of courage. Give a creative title to it.

My sister is my source of courage.

    Title :-  साथी और सारथी
