No, TVF is not headed the Karan Johar way. In fact, what they’ve done in the third season of Tripling is take the script a notch higher than how they tackled the second instalment. After garnering a lot of love for its whimsical first season in 2016, the makers tried a country-wide road trip with bursts of comedy in the narrative for season two. However, with Sumeet Vyas on the writing table, the ZEE5 series has now become more than three siblings taking a road trip.

The third edition is Baghban meets Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, with a dash of post-pandemic rejuvenation. Chandan (Vyas) is figuring out the theme of his third book, while still accepting that his second book failed. Chanchal (Maanvi Gagroo), while playing Ranisa, is questioning the longevity of marriage and Chitvan (Amol Parashar) is fighting for partial custody of a child he adopted in season two. While their life is in chaos, the news of their parents’ separation brings them under one roof. The series revolves around how the siblings are trying to figure out the root cause of what led to the separation of the ‘ideal couple’ — their parents (played by Kumud Mishra and Shernaz Patel) and how to sabotage the inevitable separation after 36 years of marriage.
