Mismatched Season 3: A Bittersweet Conclusion To Dimple And Rishi’s Journey

Netflix’s Mismatched returns with its third and final season, wrapping up the rollercoaster love story of Dimple (Prajakta Koli) and Rishi (Rohit Saraf). The series, based on Sandhya Menon’s When Dimple Met Rishi, has been a fan favorite for its relatable take on modern relationships, self-discovery, and the chaos of young adulthood. But does Season 3 give us the closure we hoped for?

Unlike the previous seasons, where teenage drama and misunderstandings took center stage, Season 3 dives deeper into personal growth. Dimple and Rishi are no longer just lovestruck teenagers; they are individuals navigating their ambitions, family expectations, and, of course, their ever-complicated relationship.

Dimple continues to prove herself in the tech world, but her perfectionism and self-doubt still create hurdles. Meanwhile, Rishi, the eternal romantic, starts questioning whether love alone is enough to define his future. Their dynamic is more nuanced this time, making their conflicts feel authentic rather than forced.

One of the strongest elements of Mismatched has always been its ensemble cast, and this season gives them more room to grow. Namrata’s (Devyani Shorey) journey of self-acceptance takes a heartfelt turn, while Celina (Muskkaan Jaferi) and Anmol (Taaruk Raina) get moments that go beyond their usual sidekick roles. The introduction of new characters adds fresh drama, but the story wisely keeps its focus on the core relationships.

Season 3 is not just about romance; it’s about choices. The final episodes take a more grounded approach, reminding us that not every love story gets a fairy-tale ending. Without giving away spoilers, let’s just say that the conclusion will leave fans divided—but it stays true to the show’s message: love is important, but so is self-growth.

Mismatched Season 3 delivers a satisfying (if slightly heartbreaking) farewell to its beloved characters. While the pacing drags at times, the emotional depth and strong performances make it a worthy watch. If you’ve followed Dimple and Rishi’s journey from the start, this season is the closure you need—even if it doesn’t come wrapped in a perfect bow.
