Gen Z Loves THIS? 💀 | Mismatched Season 3 Review & Analysis | Netflix India

[@aghniyakaleem7293]

I am Genz and I’ve stopped watching this cringe fest after season 1. I only watch your review to feel good about not missing out on anything

[@Gengartv123]

My 17 yr old could see through the cringe and basic story of season one but i still watched the whole s1 back then, cut to now my 19-20 yr old friends are losing their minds over s3 of this mediocre show

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

Okay this gives me assurance that I am not soo out of touch cause if this is 'cool' : its a doomed situation for teen or young adult dramas

[@Its_BM]

It means you are Maturing and that's a positive thing.

[@shubhamukey6512]

these are just "2nd screen" shows which is very uncomplicated, superficial and mediocre. Nowdays even the ott platforms discuss that the show needs to be made in a way where viewer need not pay attention to the screen and still understand everything. this is sad but true😅

[@ace39845]

i never liked this show since season 1 itself

[@shwetajha2423]

Dimple is so badly written, they felt everyone hates her, so they killed her dad to make her relatable, only for us to hate her even more as she abandons her mother, how could she not imagine how alone her mom is after her dad's death. I just could not tolerate her after that.

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

Peak narcissism. No one understands what I am going through so I am going to discredit everyone else's feelings

[@sabkabruh10]

True

[@tanushree6735]

Maybe you missed the point. They weren't trying to make her more relatable, because she did leave her mother to grieve alone in isolation. And she got engaged even when she wasn't ready for her mother and let's not casually use the term narcissistic everywhere, it's very immature. She is selfish (which not the same as a narc) but everyone grieves differently. PS: They killed her father so they can come up with an app idea XD

[@Musicrainc]

​@@tanushree6735she did that for her mother, and last engagement toot bhi gayi. Toh kya ukhad liya. Aise kuchh log real mein bhi actually hote hein, jinhe kitna bhi achha partner kyun na mil jaye, they still won't be satisfied. Until one fine day there comes a person who treats them like a doormat

@@TriedRefusedProductions ​ DISAAGREEEE Completely with you. YES YOU HAVE become an UNCLE. Being an engineer myself the technology part of story is only something I felt unrelated with as I felt they have taken too much liberty and shown technology decades ahead to reach in India among common public. Otherwise the character development of dimple from episode 1 where she is extremely frustrated from not getting admission and is losing herself, confidence to loosing her father who was the only supporter of her career made me think that it was right on her part to feel the way she did. And RISHI is something every guy aspires to be. i.e A lover boy who is lost in this season the world of manipulations, betrayals, venting frustrations, complicated world. That's why he decides to escape this world in climax and also to set dimple free to achieve her dreams. VINMOL were the heart and best thing about this season. their arch too brilliant. And also I FELT YOU WERE TOO HARSH because i have seen you being empathetic and kind to some of the crappiest content. Here the makers atleast explore LGBT issues, tech world, etc and the earnest to explore different topics. It may not work for you but I was crying in the climax. So stop being the Uncle and try to feel more rather than watching it through brain to look for flaws and stuff.

[@agrimanath6615]

I am 17 and I "tried" watching season 1 because it was so hyped for some reason and also because i heard the song "aise kyun" by rekha bharadwaj and i was highly disappointed, it's cringe , unnecessarily slow paced and it clearly shows that people who are so out of touch with the younger demographic have made the show. never touched it again.

Rishi deserves someone who puts him first, their relationship first, and equal efforts like him where Dimple is just full of herself, A topper genius who can't figure out things around her, ofcourse its terrible to have you're dream crushed but why can't you feel happy for your loved one when he's achieving things, being happy, making good friends etc. Don't get me started when she was crying on her engagement when Rishi happily agreed to the engagement which Dimples mother emotionally blackmailed him in to giving up his youth(you know how genz's are scared of commitment's accordingto the series) and what not. Even though its just a fictional character, no human deserves to be treated the way Dimple treats Rishi in season 3.

I started reading it a while ago, now im addicted to read more stories. South korea leads Drama industry bcoz of Novel writing culture & webtoon culture. They have democratised story writing with it. Hence, they dont lack quality content. Same woth china with its Webnovel. West with Wattpad. I was surprised when one webtoon that i had read called the bussines proposal was converted into Kdrama. Most famous kdramas are webtoon based. Why can't it happen in india?? India should also have a story writing platform, then famous Stories from that platform converted into series & movies & Animated movies like japan. Only then we can ensure Quality content. Story writing is art that should be democratised

OMG so true. Webtoons are on a whole another level.

But there are far better Indian books, which if adapted properly can definitely be a success.

I heard a shocking story where they want shows on streaming platforms to be mid so that when the audience is engrossed on their phones and miss a few minutes of the show, they don't miss out on anything. A show that should be conducive to secondary screen viewing as most audiences are engaged on their primary device: THEIR PHONE!!

[@AboutNothinG-jo5bw]

Writers are not paid enough in the industry. They get barely any recognition and are mostly not even noticeable. The focus is mostly on the celebs and a little on the directors. Such is the condition of writers in India. A huge reason why we don't have good writers is because most of them aren't paid enough and they consider leaving the industry. The majority of the Audience never focuses on the story or script of the movie. The primary focus is on the actors only. Example being this series mismatched itself. Rohit saraf and prajakta bring a lot of traction. Even ahsas channa brings in a lot of fanbase.

Also somehow at the end we find out that Nandini Nahata paid Dimple's fees in that event. But we don't really get an explanation on why she did that. Or what inspired her to do so. Or how exactly dimple realized that. That was just so random. And then Dimple being the main character should have come up with a good app idea. But she was doing nothing the whole series but just mourning her rejection and seeking Rishi's attention. Then at the end she came up with a stupid app which wasn't even so good. The only great app idea she had was on the first season. And then she failed to come up with anything new. That just proves that she is good at nothing but that stupid game. Honestly the only part I liked was when Harsh made an appearance. Even just from that small scene I felt like dimple had better chemistry with Harsh. She was finally able to cry freely about her loss, just by seeing him. That honestly proves their connection. I would have loved it if they made him sing their iconic song just for a throwback to season 2. But I just hate dimple. I hate how she literally gaslighted Rishi into thinking he was living her life and he doesn't deserve this. This is not something he should do. Whereas I see him quite literally enjoying his work at the begining of the series. If he wasn't enjoying it, he wouldn't have been good at it. Then at the end he just left that career path because of HER

[@Rose-gq5uv]

I mean I agree. I think the aspect of mismatched that drew me in was the queer romance. But like any other indian show with queer romances, i could immediately sense the lack of authenticity and I could sense that not a single queer person has been put on this project. I think the part of what makes queerness so compelling and queer love so real is the struggle of it all. Be it societal, familial, or personal. And funnily enough, the struggle aspect of celina’s queer journey was completely left out in s3! That really felt like a cop out because understanding your own queerness is a beautiful journey! One thing media in general fails at is appropriate representation. To represent is to uplift oppressed voices not to skew it to your perspective and present it as a half baked afterthought. I will say that s3 did attempt to show communication issues in relationship and i appreciated. But just like any arc they pick up they never went through with it. Besides i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again rohit saraf’s character is literally just act 1 ken! He needs to self actualize because he barely has a personality. Typical rich boy syndrome. I think there was just so much potential with the communication arc (that could’ve been done without character assassinating dimple). And it could’ve tied into the sex plotline because most young adults don’t really think to or understand how to communicate with their partner during sex. What’s frustrating is that they slightly dabble into it and then hard pivot away from it.

[@sanaqamar0162]

I think in the process of writing dimple’s character as a self aware, all knowing, independent girl, they projected her as a complete narcissist, a bully, carrying a negative energy with her at all times. She stops talking to her mother after her father passes away, BUT WHY? She makes a fool out of Rishi. She is impossible to bear on screen. Makes you wonder, WHAT DOES RISHI EVEN LIKE IN HER? The absolute bitterness? Or The sheer arrogance and ignorance?

Ohh myyy godd that was needed...i was only watching it for the sake of rohit saraf and i am on the 5th episode.....i just feel thatttt till the 5th episode nothing apparently happened...i belong to genz but still i couldnt connect with characterss......the only good part was that picturisation of song ishq......they didnt explored the insecurities of alif and how wrongly krish was influencing him to get a girl which can be a good subplot.....didnt explored the problems between rishi and dimple while making love...in 1 episode they felt it didnt worked out on bed and on another they did it....also they didnt explored the insecurity that anmol had with vinny why he couldnt open up to her......alsooo krish's relationship with his parents left unexplored..... rivalry between krish and anmol, celines emotions fighting whether to choose krish or rithh.....alsoo the topic of rith is left unexplored...also rishi's work and love balance gets unexplored....dimples insecurities becuase of her past failure and how to coope up with it left unexplored....also they havent explored the zeenat and sid's relationship which could be a good contrast to dimple and rishiii...... and many more topicss......oh my goddd this series had so much potential to deal with these topics which are actual genz problems but all they had shown party, sex,kisses, changes of partner etc..which apparently is the imagination of just some 13-14- teenagerssss

[@Croissantare29]

This S03 feels like a repeat of S02, just with few new characters and added problems that are introduced but never fully addressed. Couldn't agree more that the Dimple-Rishi storyline felt off and cringe, especially with the abrupt ending. The side characters still stood out and outshone them.

[@trishyaful]

I wish they had given Rannvijay's character more scope to shine. Don't think/ can't remember any other Indian show/ movie that has explored how a man feels about being a role model to his child; specially when being a teacher and feeling like he's failing at it. Dimple and Rishi at this point are just..... i don't even have words.

[@snehajog5]

Season 1 was okayish but it just went all over the place after that..now they’re just trying to cash on the ‘chemistry’ thing and going above n beyond promoting that..there’s no sense in any of the seasons..zero effort in writing and character development! And their audience also wants to just see the lead pair getting married, that’s it! But guess what, the even more disgusting part is the makers instead of ending the show with what audiences want are just dragging it with every season ending on a senseless cliffhanger just so that audience gets frustrated and asks for another season..that’s all they want to keep doing! I don’t know how the actors are okay with this bullshit, or is it because this is all they have??!!

[@srabonipatnaik]

Yesss thank you for talking about bandish bandits!!! It deserves the attention! And it’s a really good season 2 in my opinion! ❤️

[@chinmayeeaphale2222]

You're as relavant as ever. This was worse than the 2nd season. Disappointed but not surprised. Rohit Saraf is a great performer and he deserves better.

[@Musicrainc]

I would say same for tarukh. He also is amazing

[@farenough7058]

[@Kumarr0708]

Viewership matters not reviews 😂

[@aakashkaaz6975]

Points 1. Milking a successful series has its limits. Just STOP where it was GOOD and start something new. 2. That KZbinrs need not be good actors is amply proven. Ms. Prajakta should go back to what she's actually good at. 3. Thanx for the review.

[@shambhavigupta6979]

I was eagerly waiting for this review and completely agree with all your points-especially regarding the addition of the trans character. The backstory felt quite unreasonable. They definitely could have integrated the character into the narrative in a more empathetic and meaningful way, making their presence feel impactful and truly inclusive to the main story. But honestly, the most disappointing aspect of Season 3 was the lack of a singular thread connecting all the characters to a common story or theme, which worked so well in Seasons 1 and 2. This season felt fragmented, like a general discussion trying to touch on every socially relevant topic-relationship struggles, gender dysphoria, adoption, inclusivity, calling out woke culture, etc.-without giving any of them the depth they deserved. I honestly wanted to rant here because I knew you'd resonate with how frustrating this season was! PS:I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but Harsh and Dimple had what I’d call an emotionally balanced and mature relationship

[@swarnilsinha8529]

Does anyone remember "mile jab hum tum" that used to air on star one ? That was the most accurate portrayal of genz . Absolute GOAT

[@swan_909]

Ofcourse. Who can forget mjht? It was so point in terms of portrayal of friendship, college life. The characters were well written, and that just elevated that show. Anyone who has not seen it is missing out

[@SummerMimi-mt3nh]

My fav show it was not whole genz but between millennial and genz

[@aaryakeni9092]

The show is romanticised on insta so they get to make more seasons of it . The makers of the show are really lazy like seriously. I was excited for the season three because firstly dimple is shown smart and headstrong since the beginning so after the rejection what would she do and how would she face it and mainly for anmol and vinny that how will anmol be in a relationship with a person like vinny. He has serious issues mainly his anger but also his mentality. And Rishi's character development because seriously everyone in the show has a development in their character except Dimple and Rishi like makers don't want them to change and mature. They are the same in the whole series. That is the reason I was waiting for the season three to see how dimple has taken the rejection how is she dealing and how did rishi change but clearly the makers were lazy and just showed that after three years everyone has changed but not how

[@suparnamandal9338]

Bandish bandits is so much better in terms of story telling they hardly lose the flow. That's why it's better to have a single central plot then several ones running riot, they are not even giving time to breathe and conclude most of the parallel plotlines. Like what happened about Vinny's campaign and her tussle with her friend circle....... Is dimple actually mentally stable?..cuz it didn't seem so....does Krish found his recognition.... maybe that's for the next season. This has become an Indian ver. of Emily in Paris, ik it's mid but i can't stop coming back to it.🙃

[@vaishnabiswas6414]

Bandish Bandits Season 2 review please please please 🥺. It definitely left a lasting impression on me. Still not over it hours after watching!

[@aditiyadav5866]

Had anyone notice, only anmol and Vinny had happy ending and others didn't.

[@srabonipatnaik]

Never been this fast for a review (wanted a good roast) 💀

[@AleyaHaque]

We all sort of knew this, rohit's personality was portrayed as prof sid and dimple's as nandini nahata, rohit deserves someone like zeenat whos in the same field but knows her priorities

[@snehajog5]

Watch Bandish Bandits season 2 instead..it’s really good..would love to know your take on it Jammy!

[@IrfanShaikh-ld3mf]

There is an audience for every kind of show on earth! Audience is unpredictable when it comes to watching content!

[@Shubhrosur]

Was really hoping you'd review Bandish Bandits. I felt the second season, inspite of having a rushed screenplay, told a much deeper story.

[@PrasenjeethGaikwad]

What I loved about season 3 was the bond shown between Anuradha and Aalif. Aalif was the best thing in season 3.

[@zarmeenayousaf2236]

This checking all the boxes in a storyline is just absurd. There were shows which i used to love for their simple plot and story but this ticking all the boxes in term of representation ruined them. Either you integrate them organically or just let it be.

[@asuka.nakamura1987]

Tbh Jammy's review was far more interesting than the whole of Mismatched S3. Atleast S2 explored Anmol's character but that was also mostly abandoned in this season

[@ViDhana1010]

You can tell when a movie or series doesn't have GenZ people writing it.. coz this is not how GenZ acts.. this is more like what millenials THINK GenZ act like.

[@TheRi25]

Haha being a millennial..I agree and we r sorry😅

[@TirthLaskar94]

This is why show like FLAMES stands out. Good writing.

[@anshumanbose5744]

Prajakta Koli (MostlySane) is not a good actor, which became evident when she starred in movies like JUGJUGG JEEYO and NEEYAT

[@nageshwaranrahul]

3:33 so apt, I felt so much similar Vibes from this dude and Otis

[@user-hg4tt9ln2s]

they target genZ and still create a female lead character who is immature, act out of logic, selfish and bold in unwanted situation in the name of independent woman. What a misery! I feel like at this point the Indian producers/writers/director should try to make some normal romantic drama like movies Siya Raman, 96, Barfi.

[@pu8755]

Finally someone spitting truth and finding my kinda people. I was literally traumatized after watching this series, because my friends forced me to watch with them 😭😭😭😭

[@alinamithani30]

Dimple's character development was essential, at least after her dad's death, she could have been more emotionally mature, empathetic towards her mom too, ik losing ur dad is a difficult situation but u have to understand ur mom's situation also rishi who has been with u through thick and thin, at least one starts valuing their people more after they lose a loved one

[@San_kat_17]

I completely agree with you on all points. I was hoping for more depth in the romance and character development, but sadly, it all fell short. As a millennial, I had high hopes for a lighthearted yet slightly unconventional love story-something we haven’t had in a while. Unfortunately, it feels like the charm of teen and young adult romances is fading away. While OTT platforms provide the perfect space to experiment beyond the limitations of traditional TV, the storytelling here just didn’t hit the mark. To add to the disappointment, not seeing Harsh Aggarwal’s character actively involved in the series was a letdown. The only comforting moments for me were his video call scenes, which stood out as rare highlights, and I guess I’m just a little obsessed with his character-it’s hard not to be!

[@rudeguy9024-r3p]

Harsh had gone abroad to studies so they could not have involved him much

[@sakshibisht465]

Oh god you’ve put my thoughts into words so well I’ve seen season 3 and throughout it I was using my phone 😅 I mean iss show mein aisa tha kya that people were raving about it so much

[@rudeguy9024-r3p]

You were watching on phone, toh throughout phone hi to use krogi na 😂

[@rheabanerjee9486]

I agree to every word of yours, especially that dimple is such an evolving toxic character that no one sympathizes or empathizes with. No need of new season, this was already unnecessary.

[@badshahmb1281]

04:53 No, that's not the subplot, it's where the funding came from, for the renewal of this season. I hope you get aware of how the world works, so you could review better.

[@ananya9385]

I feel like in the process of making things relatable and making dimple a independent woman sorta character, who loves her profession and has a good relationship with her partner, they made a very one-sided character. She is simply not even putting efforts in...at all

[@SunilL-f4w]

If possible I would recommend you to watch ‘The Day of the Jackal (TV series)’ it’s a good series.

[@Mridul_Kiku]

I don’t know why I ranted about Little Things stretching the plot and not engaging in the last few seasons but now I feel that Little Things was much better in the arena of contemporary love stories.

[@a_kafle]

I am GenZ .. me and all my friends hated it.. SO GEN Z HATE THIS! thats the statement.

[@Sonal_M_Suvarna]

This is one of the apt review. being a genz i actually felt like it was surface level be it any character. once we think we can relate to it. the plot is switched. My hate for dimple's character increases season by season. that girl is so mean towards Rishi, jealous of his own success. i mean his character is so soft and gentle . i hate seeing him being thrashed like that by his own GF. like him giving her such cute names and she being she. though i liked Anmol's character graph. but again surface. side character stories seemed genuine.

[@jayantkumawat3469]

This show is " the kissing booth " franchise of india 😂

[@titikshabarapatre6861]

Not going to lie , felt like a desi version of the show sex education . So many plot lines felt so forced because they want to cater to Gen Z , but the way the plot lines played along hardly made sense . I think what I feel is , Gen Z now is looking for an anchor to normalcy and simplicity because life outside is so messed up . I miss the times shows we’re simpler , we as a generation desperately need that , than always watching messed up shows . They tried to be woke about disability or the lgbtq community , but then all that was left out of it was a super woke show which can hardly relate to Indian audiences . If the urban audience is a target , the urban audience is way past all these representations of liberalism anyway .

I loved the first season, but the infidelity was not for me from the second season. Did not have any Idea there is a third season, until I saw your video title.

[@sunnyverma2782]

I just don't get it why they couldn't end this series here with both of them just engaged and finish it off. It was dragged so much. I didn't totally hate it, i like Anmol's character and his acting but you are so right about Rishi and Dimple's relationship. If they brought us sooo far, they should have been together by now.

[@anubhavdhananjai2835]

For some reason- I felt really bad for Dimple- her character was real- she was ambitious but hard on luck and going through grief- while she loved Rishi and he did his best- her deeper issues warranted her to take a break.
