Development

Tribhanga was originally supposed to be a small Marathi film but later turned into a Hindi Netflix original as Kajol and Siddharth P Malhotra got on board. The film was confirmed by director Renuka Shahane in late 2018, and on 10 October 2019 the cast, the crew and the basic plot were announced.[12] Later in 2019, more of the cast announced their involvement in the film, including Vaibhav Tatwawaadi, Manav Gohil and Nishank Verma.[13] Tribhanga is a dance pose in Odissi and its nature is said to represent that of the three leading women in the film, played by Azmi, Kajol and Palkar.[14]

Filming

Principal photography commenced on 14 October 2019 and ended on 8 December 2019. The film was shot entirely in Mumbai.[15]

Reception

On release, the movie received mixed reviews, Sonia Chopra of Sify praised the movie as "A layered and heart-warming story encompassing three generations of women. Also commendable is how beautifully it portrays real women and humanizes mothers with all their flaws, mistakes, strengths and weaknesses". As well as praising the leads for their performance, especially Kajol who was "all spitfire and blazing eyes, is an absolute treat! She folds in humour, strength, and empathy in every moment" and described Tanvi Azmi as "Masterful" in her portrayal of a writer, mother and trailblazer.[16]

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India granted the film 2.5 stars out of five and stated "The idea behind the movie is inspirational but ideas aren’t enough unless they make for a riveting viewing experience."[17]

Writing in The Hindu Debasree Purkayastha appraises Tanvi Azmi's work in the film stating "The brilliant Tanvi Azmi holds your attention and Mithali is pleasantly present in the limited screen-time she has. It is however a dull Kunaal Roy Kapur and often artless Kajol who appear out of place."[18]
