TVF’s Tripling S3 hits on a different fresh juncture. While the earlier two seasons were known for the juxtaposition of satire and silliness, the third one strives with emotions, sentiments and humane struggles. This time, it isn’t only about the ‘fun feet’ but how the siblings trying to move within their existing life crisis, in mid of which, they get to know that their parents are separating. The play ultimately serves as an unanticipated gloom in the lives of the trinity.
The show begins with a dramatic turn in the trio’s life, Sumeet Vyas aka Chandan, Maanvi Gagroo aka Chanchal and brother Chitvan aka Amol Parashar, as they get to know their parents are separating after 36 years of marriage. Here’s when Chandan reunites with Chanchal and Chitvan and visits home to know why and how things turned so bitter between their parents. However, while the story almost gets us on the flick, the short running time with only five episodes kills the fun. The five episodes series yet still manages to take you on a slide that you would cherish.
What we also liked about the series; is how it’s been made on the grounds to erase the ‘gap’ between the generations. It not only engages the audience from aeons back but also the youngsters. What’s more, the series makes an effort to bring up the complexities of the elderly in society, whom we feel and think exist to be the bearer of ‘perfection’ ‘best advisor’ and so on.
For the last straw, it infers within a tongue-in-cheek story that is ironic but often not pertinent to the literary intellect. It adheres to the ‘other path’, concocts handy flights of fancy, and is occasionally much too dry to endorse a plot that is significantly more than a string of tumultuous, floating occurrences. The absurdism gets sometimes too much to be able to gulp it. However, the season turns around on its best to reckon with is the treatment of ‘different ideas of love’ and of course, ‘Family’.
IWMBuzz rates it 3 stars.
