Mismatched is an Indian Hindi-language coming-of-age romantic drama television series that aired on Netflix, adapting Sandhya Menon's 2017 novel When Dimple Met Rishi. The adaptation was created by Gazal Dhaliwal and directed by Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Dharmadhikari. It is produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies. The cast includes Prajakta Koli, Rohit Saraf, Rannvijay Singha, and Vidya Malvade in leading roles, portraying Rishi, a traditional romantic, who develops a connection with Dimple, a gamer, and eventually wants to marry her.

Dhaliwal adapted the novel in early 2018, refining the script for television. Though the original story is set in the United States, the series relocated its setting to Jaipur. Cinematography was handled by Avinash Arun and Milind Jog, while editing was done by Sanyukta Kaza and Namrata Rao. The soundtrack album was composed by Jasleen Royal, Samar Grewal, Anurag Saikia, Prateek Kuhad, Shashwa Singh, Taaruk Raina, Deepa Unnikrishnan, Abhijay Negi, and Hiphop Bhaiya, with Saikia also composing the background score.

The series launched on 20 November 2020 via streaming platform Netflix. Viewers responded positively, with critics commending Saraf and Koli’s chemistry, the cast's acting, and the music. Nonetheless, some critiques targeted the writing and direction.

The show was renewed for a second season on 3 March 2021. Season 2 debuted on Netflix on 14 October 2022. Season 3 followed on Netflix on 13 December 2024. A fourth and final season has been confirmed, scheduled for release in 2026. This marks the first Indian Netflix Original Series to achieve four seasons.
