Coming-of-age dramas are a dime a dozen these days. Ask us millennials and they¡¯ll tell you that relating to Gen Z and their idea of love and finding oneself is something that none of us can relate to!

The first world problems that the new generation deal with is something that wasn¡¯t even existent in our youth. Not to sound morbid, but 30 is the new 50, guys!
Shows like Euphoria, Elite, Riverdale, Never Have I Ever and Sex Education have one thing in common - messy kids with messier thought processes.

Mismatched is a desi attempt at milking the trend and somehow it works!
Based on Sandhya Menon's 2017 novel 'When Dimple Met Rishi', adapted by Gazal Dhaliwal and directed by Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Dharmadhikari, this show revolves around protagonists Dimple and Rishi , played by Prajakta Koli and Rohit Saraf respectively, who enroll themselves in Aravalli Institute of Technology in Jaipur, to study Application Development Program for a short term of three months. We also meet a bevy of characters with their own subplots which get murkier by season 2.

There¡¯s a specially-abled student Anmol who still has PTSD and anger issues after his horrifying car accident which left him paralysed from waist down. Then there¡¯s a social media fanatic Simran who is battling body-image issues and scepticism about sex with boyfriend Krish, who on the other hand, is busy swiping right on dating apps.
Then there are a bunch of girls namely, Namrata, Celina and Ayesha who are in a love triangle with each other where the former two are still contemplating their sexual orientation and coming out of the closet.
The most favourite one of the lot and the star of the season is Harsh, the NRI student who¡¯s a rock solid support system to Dimple and eventually falls into yet another love triangle with her and Rishi.

Moving on to the professor played by Rannvijay Singh, he is the right mix of supportive and stern and is always there to help his students. He urges them to concentrate on their careers instead of creating a hue and cry about their personal lives. He¡¯s smitten with his student Zeenat, who is older than her classmates and seizing the opportunity to make a career for herself as there is no right age for new beginnings.
netflix
The show is mature in bits and pieces but it has the tendency to keep falling back on to the nonsensical plot points of love triangles, unreasonable jealousy over a kiss and social media drama among other things. However, it¡¯s quite relevant with the current times as this is what youngsters are dealing with. The good thing about the current season is the way the makers have projected mental health and moving on in life.

It goes without saying that Rohit Saraf and Prajakta Koli are a fan favourite and their popularity is only soaring with every passing day. The internet ships their chemistry together and have been vocally expressing their love for the duo.

How can Dimple choose Rishi Over Harsh when Harsh deserves so much love please! He loved Dimple for who she was and didn't expect a perfect vision of her ! Stood for her throughout and so selflessly

I¡¯m scared to see the new season of Mismatched cause I can¡¯t see Dimple and Rishi with anyone else ??
