Cubicles Season 3 Review

Piyush Prajapati is just promoted to the role of Team Lead. With great power comes greater responsibilities and newer challenges. While this role change incites mixed reactions from his teammates who are his besties, he is caught in an avalanche of obstacles and has to prove his efficiency and worth in the wake of the transitions and its associated adversities.

Directed by Divyanshu Malhotra, the new season of TVF’s Cubicles acts as a corporate dossier reflecting on Team Management, Leadership skills and Team dynamics. Piyush, played by Abhishek Chauhan, has to tackle his team, and meet deadlines for deliveries and also manage his tendency to over-commit. His team comprising Naveen, Suneina and Gautam subconsciously feels that he is unworthy of the higher role and treats him as their peer.

Piyush knows the theoretical part of all the equations, he just has to internalize it and apply it in the work scenario. He has to win the trust of his team and also his manager, Vikram (Nimit Kapoor) who acts as his philosopher and guide and bridges the cracks with his Onsite-returned best friend, Kalpesh (Arnav Bhasin).

The show derives its dopamine from the writing by Avinash Singh and Vijay Narayan Verma – which is in solid form. The duo infuses a good deal of realism and scenarios that look to be borrowed from practical experiences of working in IT based project. What’s heart-warming is the camaraderie in the team that navigates the highs and lows of the delivery trajectory, success and failure, appreciation, and escalations. Ashwin Kadamboor’s lensing and Abhimanyu Jai’s design of the workplace is easy on the eyes without flattery of jazzy colors and décor.

Shivangi Srivastav’s costumes reflect her astute idea on corporate dress codes.

But some parts are overdone and brow-raising – like the blatant and brazen fight between Piyush and Kalpesh’s teams. Corporate etiquette and decorum seem to plunge into vacation during those scenes. Even Neha’s (Ketaki Kulkarni) induction into the team is met with animosity and contempt, in front of everyone. Employees discuss their interpersonal issues on a public podium. Not Acceptable!
