Review
This series delves into the complexities of modern relationships, exploring the concept of open relationships and the challenges they present. With a backdrop of a vibrant wedding in Daman, the show throws a bunch of restless Gen Z friends into the mix, creating a whirlwind of emotions and situations.
Too Much of a Good Thing?
While the show attempts to unpack complicated relationship dynamics, it can feel a little overstuffed at times. Jinal’s aspirations to be an influencer aren’t fleshed out as well as they could be. The addition of several side characters, some for comedic relief, further dilutes the focus on the main plot. This constant juggling act leaves the viewer slightly disoriented, with the central theme of open relationships getting somewhat sidelined.
Saving Graces
Despite the narrative chaos, Dillogical has its charms. The short, 30-minute episodes make it a breeze to watch, and the gorgeous cinematography by Jebin Jacob captures the wedding festivities beautifully.
The performances are another highlight, with the lead couple, Anshuman Malhotra and Nupur Nagpal, delivering believable portrayals of childhood sweethearts navigating adulthood. The supporting cast, particularly Chetan Dhawan as the goofy Umang and Prasanna Bisht as Jinal’s wise friend Sana, also add a spark to the show.
Verdict
Dillogical might not be the most profound exploration of modern love, but it’s a visually appealing and lighthearted watch. If you’re looking for something entertaining with a touch of romance and a whole lot of Gen Z confusion, this series might just be the perfect weekend binge.
