The calendar might say 2025, but Kajol is taking us back to 2020 with a special anniversary post for her critically acclaimed film ‘Tribhanga’. The actress marked the 5-year milestone of the Netflix original by sharing a carousel of memories that capture the essence of what made the movie special.
Directed by theatre veteran Renuka Shahane in her feature film debut, ‘Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy’ premiered amid the early days of the pandemic, becoming one of the platform’s most-watched Hindi films. Kajol played the central character, a classical dancer and writer whose life choices ripple through generations.
In her Instagram post, Kajol expressed profound gratitude towards her co-stars Tanvi Azmi and Mithila Palkar, calling them her ‘Tribhanga family’. The images showcase candid moments from the set – intense script readings, laughter-filled breaks, and emotional wrap-up hugs.
What set ‘Tribhanga’ apart was its unflinching exploration of motherhood, ambition, and reconciliation. Kajol’s Nana was neither saint nor sinner but a complex woman navigating life’s ‘tribhanga’ – the three bends of classical dance that mirrored her life’s twists.
The film’s technical brilliance matched its emotional depth. Beautiful cinematography captured Mumbai’s urban pulse while Juhi Chaturvedi’s dialogues delivered punchy truths. Aishwarya Dhanush’s music provided the perfect backdrop to the unfolding drama.
Kajol’s anniversary tribute sparked a social media trend with #Tribhanga5Years. Fans shared favorite scenes, quotes, and personal stories of how the film helped them understand their own family dynamics better.
This celebration comes at an interesting time for Kajol, who’s currently busy with multiple projects. Yet, she made time to honor ‘Tribhanga’, proving that some films create bonds that time cannot fade.
As streaming audiences rediscover the gem, ‘Tribhanga’ reaffirms its status as a landmark in contemporary Indian cinema – a story that bends but never breaks.
