Mismatched Behind the scenes

Play

Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari were chosen by Netflix to direct the show. Before Khurana was chosen to direct the series, Dhaliwal had already finished writing the script. The new script received Khurana's approval because it was a love story between two real people with real challenges. 

Even though this was mainly a young adult romance, the way it was portrayed showed maturity. Similar to Dhaliwal, who lists Kuch Kuch Hota Hai as one of her guilty pleasures, Dhaliwal was attracted in by the book's simple high-school romance, which contrasts with the elaborate candyfloss high school universe portrayed in Hindi movies.

In an interview with Poulomi Das of Firstpost, Khurana talked about the setting. She said, When I first read Gazal's take on the book, what I loved was that she altered the context for the love story at the centre of the proceedings and introduced a host of new characters who had very distinct characteristics which made the world building so much more interesting.

The series was filmed in November 2019, with the majority of the shots taking place in Jaipur and some parts being shot at the Old Royal School of Jodhpur. The cast members shot for 12 hours each day for 38 to 39 days during the production. In May 2020, as India was under lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the post-production was finished.

Mismatched Collection and Performance

This web series is intriguing and would be greatly favoured by young people. Prajakta Koli, who provided a crazy and exhilarating performance here, is a familiar face from the movie Mostly Sane. She is both the series' high point and its beating heart.

Mismatched has received favourable early reviews from critics, who gave it a rating of 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5. The web series budget hasn't been made public yet, but it's expected to be in the 6–8 crore area. Audiences responded favourably to it, and reviewers praised the connection between Saraf and Koli, the cast's performances, the music, and the background score. However, there were complaints about the writing and the direction. About the earnings data is not appropriate but with the remarkable performances the series nailed it.
