In short, the couples find themselves dealing with emotional decisions about their future and the complexities of modern relationships in a fast-paced world.
Performances:
Well, to be honest, performances were the only thing that made me invested in their journey. Be it Rohit Saraf, Prajakta Koli, or Taaruk Raina, Ahsaas Channa, and others, the performances in this season were worth watching! Dimple and Rishi brought their characters back to life once again, and their chemistry was even more adorable than in previous seasons. Furthermore, Taaruk Raina and Ahsaas Channa had amazing chemistry, and it was fascinating to watch their love story. Ahsaas really made a banger entry and stood out with her performance!
Now, let’s talk about another favourite duo, Sid sir and Zeenat. Their chemistry made me go, “Uff!” Sid sir and Zeenat’s interactions were over the top and brought a nice dynamic to the story. Anyway, Celina was my favorite! Her bold and confident energy brought a whole new level of fun and excitement to the show. Moreover, the newcomers were interesting. Akshat Singh stole the show with his adorable and funny camaraderie with Garima Yagnik. His attempts to approach her and their conversations were super cute to watch. Overall, the performances were good. So, now let’s talk about the bleh parts!
Storyline: In this season, the downside is that there were too many storylines happening at once, which made the plot feel cluttered and at times hard to follow. Additionally, some parts felt cliché and predictable and literally took away my excitement. While exploring multiple story arcs can add depth to a series, in this case, it felt too much. The writers seemed to be juggling too many stories at once; even though some subplots were intriguing, it ended up feeling rushed or underdeveloped. This series, which has been praised for its fresh take on relationships, seemed to fall into a pattern that felt all too familiar. What’s the point then?
Character Arc: Another aspect that stood out was the lack of character development, particularly in Dimple’s character arc. Her character lacks a clear arc, and while her friends and love interests grew and evolved, Dimple seemed to remain in the same place. To be honest, it was a bit annoying.
Background Music: Ughhh! It pains me to write this, but the songs in Season 1 and Season 2 were too good, and it created a sensation on the internet, but in this season it was disappointing. Despite the strong performances, the music in this season fell short of expectations. In previous installments, the soundtrack played a significant role in setting the mood. This time around, the music felt lacklustre and failed to resonate with me. A great soundtrack can elevate a series, and this season missed that opportunity.
Verdict: Good Performances, Predictable Storyline
Even though the storyline was all over the place, it has its moments of charm and relatability. The exploration of friendship remains a strong point as the characters navigate their relationships and identities amidst the chaos of their professional lives. Also, the portrayal of adulting did resonate with me. It was also nice to see the characters face real-life issues such as career pressures, family expectations, and the complexities of modern relationships. While the chemistry between the characters remains a highlight, the cluttered narrative and predictable plotlines were underwhelming. Overall, its good for a binge-watch session if you are a fan of romance. So, the choice is yours!
