Mismatched Season 3 Review: Breezy Watch


Like
most
rom-com
shows,
this
one
lives
up
to
the
feel-good
factor
to
a
large
extent
despite
getting
a
bit
boring
here
and
there,
observes
Namrata
Thakker.

It’s
been
three
years
since
Dimple
Ahuja
(Prajakta
Koli)
got
rejected
by
her
idol
Nandita
Nahata
(Dipannita
Sharma)
to
join
her
prestigious
tech
institute
NNIT.

She’s
still
dejected
and
hopelessly
trying
to
keep
herself
busy
by
doing
online
courses
sitting
in
Ambala.

Her
boyfriend
Rishi
Singh
Shekhawat
(Rohit
Saraf),
on
the
other
hand,
is
living
his
best
life
at
NNIT.
Yes,
he
and
Dimple
are
still
together
and
it’s
a
long
distance
relationship.

It’s
not
long
before
Dimple
and
Rishi
actually
get
together.

But
this
time,
their
campus
is
in
Hyderabad,
not
Jaipur.

Also,
Dimple
isn’t
a
part
of
the
tech
programme
at
NNIT.
Instead
she
joins
LLIT,
which
is
run
by
their
very
own
Sid
sir
(Rannvijay
Singha).

When
Dimple
finally
meets
Rishi
in
Hyderabad,
she
realises
a
lot
has
changed.

Rishi
is
now
best
friends
with
Anmol
(Taaruk
Raina)
who
was
once
Dimple’s
archenemy.

Despite
being
on
the
same
campus,
Rishi
is
always
busy
either
with
his
project
or
answering
Nandini
ma’am’s
calls,
which
irks
Dimple
big
time.

In
short,
Ms
Ahuja
is
annoyed
and
goes
into
self-pity
mode
because
Rishi
is
living
the
life
that
she
wanted
for
herself.

So
do
Dimple
and
Rishi
finally
breakup
for
good?

Do
their
ambitions
get
in
the
way
of
their
happily-ever-after?

Apart
from
Dimple
and
Rishi,
the
new
season
also
focuses
on
a
few
other
love
stories,
their
individual
complexities
and
how
the
virtual
world
plays
an
important
part
amidst
all
this.

There
is
a
new
character
addition
in
the
story
and
that’s
an
interesting
subplot.
We
see
Rith
(Lauren
Robinson),
a
closeted
trans
man,
desperately
wanting
to
feel
liberated.

That’s
when
Virtual
Reality
aka
Betterverse
comes
into
the
picture.

Rith
feels
that’s
the
only
escape
route
for
him,
so
he
lands
in
Hyderabad
and
ends
up
at
LLIT.

While
this
storyline
adds
a
bit
of
freshness
to
the
show,
it’s
ridiculously
funny
how
easily
Rith
manages
to
get
everything
done
as
per
his
plan.

Some
of
the
characters
which
seemed
promising
in
the
previous
seasons
suddenly
are
a
no-show
in
this
one
and
that’s
confusing.

Loopholes
aside,
going
by
the
first
five
episodes,

Mismatched

Season
3
is
a
breezy
watch
with
a
simple
relatable
storyline.

Rohit
Saraf
is
fabulous
as
Rishi
and
Prajakta
Koli
has
definitely
come
a
long
way
in
the
acting
department.

Taaruk
Raina
is
impressive,
as
is
Muskkaan
Jaferi.

Like
most
rom-com
shows,
this
one
lives
up
to
the
feel-good
factor
to
a
large
extent
despite
getting
a
bit
boring
here
and
there.
