Mismatched Season 2 continues the youthful rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, ambition, and personal identity in the lives of a group of college students at the Aravalli Institute. Picking up right where Season 1 ended, this season explores the complicated aftermath of Dimple and Rishi’s romantic fallout, the emergence of new love interests, and the deepening emotional challenges faced by each character.
Dimple Ahuja, still reeling from betrayal and mistrust, tries to focus on her app-building project while navigating complicated emotions involving Harsh and Rishi. Meanwhile, Rishi struggles with heartbreak and attempts to find closure, but unexpected developments threaten to pull him back into Dimple’s orbit.
The season adds depth to side characters as well: Namrata comes to terms with her sexual identity and seeks self-acceptance, Anmol faces his physical limitations while dealing with anger and resentment, and Zeenat tries to move on from her late husband while forming a surprising connection with Professor Siddharth Sinha.
Amid friendship tensions, college competitions, hackathons, and tech fairs, the characters face real-world problems like mental health issues, toxic masculinity, homophobia, societal expectations, and career confusion. However, the storytelling is interspersed with humor, vibrant visuals, and fresh music, creating a breezy, bingeable atmosphere.
Despite its intention to be emotionally rich and socially relevant, Mismatched Season 2 received mixed reviews for trying to juggle too many subplots without giving each adequate closure. While fans praised its representation and music, critics noted that the plot often lacked focus and coherence.
Ultimately, Mismatched Season 2 is a coming-of-age story wrapped in drama and tech dreams, aimed at Gen-Z and young adult viewers who enjoy themes of self-discovery, love, and digital ambition in a college setting.
