About Mismatched (Season 1) Web Series:

Mismatched is a Hindi coming-of-age romantic drama web series on Netflix, based on Sandhya Menon’s 2017 novel When Dimple Met Rishi. It was adapted by Gazal Dhaliwal and directed by Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Dharmadhikari. It is produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies.

Starring Prajakta Koli, Rohit Saraf, Rannvijay Singha, and Vidya Malvade in prominent roles.

In late 2018, Netflix India and Ronnie Screwvala of RSVP Movies approached screenwriter Gazal Dhaliwal to adapt Sandhya Menon’s 2017 novel When Dimple Met Rishi for Indian audiences.

While the book is set in the United States, the story was adapted to take place in Jaipur. About the setting, Khurana stated in an interview to Poulomi Das of Firstpost, that “When I initially read Gazal’s take on the book, what I loved was that she altered the context for the love story at the center of the proceedings and introduced a host of new characters who had very distinct characteristics which made the world building so much more interesting.”

Shooting of the series took place in November 2019, with some portions being filmed at Old Royal School of Jodhpur, and the majority of the scenes were filmed in Jaipur. The shooting took place for 38–39 days, with the cast members shooting for 12 hours daily. The post-production was completed in May 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India.

The series premiered on 20 November 2020, through the streaming platform Netflix. It received a positive response from audiences, with critics praising the chemistry of Saraf and Koli, the performances of the cast, the music, and the background score. However, the writing and the direction were criticized.

The series was renewed for a second season on 3 March 2021. Season 2 premiered on Netflix on 14th October 2022.
