Madhumitha’s series ‘Love Always’ sets up a compelling premise by turning back the clock on an ageing couple, opening the door to questions of regret, desire and second chances. The concept has clear emotional promise and a strong magical-realist hook.

However, the series is weighed down by melodrama and a treatment that feels juvenile, preventing it from fully exploring the depth of its central idea. What could have been a moving reflection on love and missed opportunities instead becomes uneven in execution.

While the intention behind the story is evident, ‘Love Always’ ultimately struggles to make the most of its inventive conceit. The series’ thematic potential is present, but the writing and tone do not fully deliver on it.
