College Romance Season 4 review: Apoorva Arora, Gagan Arora, and Keshav Sadhna's series captivates with delightful closure

3.5/5

Story: College Romance is the tale of a close-knit group of friends who explore their academic and personal life in college together. The latest and final season talks about how they navigate through the crucial phase of their lives when they need to plan their future in terms of careers as well as relationships. 

Review: The final season begins where it left off in the third installment. After entering the final year of university, the senior students can be seen dealing with multiple dilemmas about studying further, starting a business, accepting jobs, taking their relationship to the next level, and more.

Writer-director duo Ashutosh Chaturvedi and Pankaj Mavchi have penned and executed the show in the most natural and realistic way possible. From Karan and Naira deciding to go to their dream college together, while the latter plans to come clean in front of her best friends that she doesn't want to pursue an MBA and move on with her boyfriend, Bagga, and take the family business, to Bagga moving to another city for a new high-paying job and trying to confess the same in front of his girlfriend, College Romance makes the young viewers relate to at least one event of the show.

Apoorva Arora as Naira, Keshav Sadhna as Karan, and Gagan Arora as Bagga ace their performances similarly to the last three seasons. However, they shine even more in the latest installment, as they carry the new arcs of their characters extremely well and subtly.

Meanwhile, Shreya Mehta as Deepika doesn't let a single frame go bland with the quirks and one-of-a-kind charm she showcases through her character on the screen.

The few later additions to the cast, including Nupur Nagpal, Eklavey Kashyap, and Jahnvi Rawat, also support the pivotal actors quite well.

Another appreciating angle of the show is that it talks about LGBTQ+ but doesn't do it just for the sake of talking about a serious social taboo but also makes it a fun angle in the show, which makes it even more entertaining to watch and understand.

Amidst showcasing fun, drama, and talking about friendship, love, and some serious and responsible issues, College Romance season 4 also includes multiple surprises throughout the episodes and especially at the end, which makes it complete and satisfying for the die-hard fans of the show.

Verdict: Along with a perfect balance of fun, drama, and emotion, the Ashutosh Chaturvedi and Pankaj Mavchi directorial shines due to the impeccable performances by Apoorva Arora, Keshav Sadhna, Gagan Arora, and Shreya Mehta. You must watch College Romance season 4 over the weekend on SonyLIV.
