Tripling- Season 3 touches upon elderly romance, unconventional choices of parents, and a different take on love and marriage. It challenges stereotypes and normalises prejudices, which should not be prejudiced in the first place.
Tripling is based on the life of three siblings from the Sharma family. But Tripling- Season 3 is different this time, the sibling drama eventually converts into a full-fledged family drama. It is no cliche with all dysfunctional family issues. It is a lot about modern-day families. From a broader perspective, the story is way ahead of its time in the Indian context, In real life young generations could become the parents of coming times as Chinmay Sharma (Kumud Mishra) and Charu Sharma (Shernaz Patel) portrayed in the series.
Tripling S3 Review
Neeraj Udhwani directed Tripling- Season 3 depicts how parents feel when their kids take decisions without keeping them in the loop. However, this time tables are turned. All the tantrums are coming from parents, and children have to be understanding. It focuses more on slice-of-life, where relationships are the most complicated ones. It definitely sets a new tone for commitment, companionship, marriage, and divorce. It embosses love can thrive without these tags also, for staying together these kinds of labels are not required.
The five-part series questions- Why always parents are expected to make conventional choices? and also, why parents are expected to respect kids, unconventional choices. Can't the same be expected from kids?
">Tripling- Season 3, this time is not about road-tripping but trekking and navigating their relationships on the adventure. The last two installments focused on the bond and rough patches of siblings Chandan Sharma (Sumeet Vyas), Chanchal Sharma (Maanvi Gagroo), and Chitvan Sharma(Amol Parashar). The third installment is exploring the parents' separation and how the three grown-up children react to it. The whole reaction part is full of laughter, tears, and affirmations The series has a few twists when the series starts it makes the audience think this is some kind of cliche, which parents used as an excuse to call back their children, fortunately, it is not. The story is picked up from the post-covid period.
The Parents Stole The Show
The parents- Charu and Chinmay stole the show. Their chemistry gives us glimpses of romance in youngsters. They break the stereotype of elderly people not having non-romantic monotonous life. It took to another level with its cinematic sense - the entry of a couple at a party makes you go all whistling.
The series also addresses other prejudicial issues and tries to normalize them. These issues come with every character's backstory the most Charming one is of Chitvan. In the entire franchise, Chitvan is the fun guy, but the third installment shows his responsible and serious side. He has come a long way to become a responsible person. Chitvan's take on kids is interesting. The makers pick up the issue of mother-father love toward kids, it tries to normalise Papa ki mumta is equal to Maa ki mumta.
Chandan has become a chill kinda guy over all his worrisome looks in the last two installments. It talks about long marriages and unresolved issues. The fun part he shows a man can say no when a woman makes a move. Chanchal, the all her highness backstory is weak. Although makers did try to make a point on education, marriage, and the role of a housewife, it doesn't put up a strong message.
All the characters have justified their performances. The dialogues further elevate their persona. Dialogues like- "Had enough happy life together, but not necessary to do all the things together", are hard-hitting. When Chitvan says, "Meri mumta se sympthise nahi kare app" makes you reflect something inside you. Writing-wise- the story plot and dialogue delivery are on the mark.
The cinematography and background also give you a youngster vibe, which is more of an Instagram fabric these days. The cinematography has this sepia-orange vintage vibe. The background score is peachy with pop beats and Rajasthani folk lyrics.
