While Saikia was initially appointed to create the background score of the project, he restricted his work to the soundtrack alone in the successive seasons. “Sometimes, when we keep working on the same project, we encounter a creative block. To avoid this, I decided to only work on the songs in the recently released seasons. I wanted to give someone else the space to create the musical portions,” he says of the show, starring Jameel Khan, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Vaibhav Raj Gupta, and Harsh Mayar.

It is owing to the technical expertise that he had to display that Saikia considers the series among his most “special works”. “The reason that it was difficult to score for the first two seasons is that they were shot entirely inside a house, and with only four characters involved,” says the composer, who has Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, and the next season of Mismatched in his kitty. Saikia will also contribute to yet another web project by director Amrit Raj Gupta.
