This blog post is part of an assignment assigned by Vaidehi Hariyani ma'am from the Department of English, MKBU. In this blog, I will be sharing my perspective about web series 'Modern Love Mumbai: Raat Rani" and addressing the questions presented to us as part of this assignment.
List down the contradictory symbols you observed in the episode “Raat Rani”.
Throughout the episode, I noticed several contradictory symbols that piqued my interest:
Bike and Bicycle: The contrasting symbols of Lutfi's bike and Lali's bicycle reflect their relationship dynamics. Lutfi's threat to leave without her emphasizes dependence, while Lali's frustration with her bicycle signifies her desire for independence. Interestingly, Lali later buys a bike for Lutfi, creating a contradictory symbol.
Flyover as Self-Independence: Initially, Lali struggles to cross the flyover, representing her dependency on her husband. However, as the episode progresses, she gains confidence, symbolizing her victory over reliance and her journey towards self-independence.
Which is your favorite symbol from Raat Rani? Why?
Among the numerous symbols in "Raat Rani," one stand out as deep and meaningful to me:
Bicycle: Lali's Bicycle is the most significant symbol. When her husband leaves her, only the bicycle is left. This bicycle gave her courage. It always stands as the strong partner of Lali while she was alone.
Which is your favorite frame from the episode? Why?
One frame that stands out as my favorite in the episode is when Lali overcomes her fears and successfully crosses the flyover.
Compare and write a note on all the women characters from Raat Rani.
"Raat Rani" introduces us to various female characters, each distinct in their own way:
Lali: The protagonist of the episode, Lali starts off as a dependent woman, heavily relying on her husband. However, as the story progresses, she undergoes a remarkable transformation. She finds her voice, discovers her independence, and embraces her true self.
Ray: A lawyer introduced later in the episode, Ray epitomizes independence. She is self-assured, financially stable, and lives life on her own terms. Through her character, we see a different facet of female empowerment.
These and the other women characters who showed for few times portray various shades of independence, showcasing the complexities and diverse experiences of women in different circumstances.
“Courage is Contagious” – Give an example for this from the episode.
The phrase "Courage is contagious" holds true in the episode of "Raat Rani." Lali's own act of courage serves as an inspiration for others. When she takes a stand for herself, crossing the flyover and embarking on a journey of self-discovery, her courage influences those around her. Her actions have a ripple effect, empowering others to find their own strength and assert their independence. This exemplifies how one person's bravery can inspire and embolden others to overcome their own fears and obstacles.
Share a picture of yours with a woman who is your source of courage. Give a creative title to it.

My mom serves as my pillar of strength. She embodies courage, resilience, and unwavering support. Together, we navigate life's challenges, drawing inspiration from one another and embracing the power of resilience.
