3BHK Movie Review (2025) – Discover why this heartfelt, slice-of-life dramedy about roommates, dreams, and modern chaos is winning audiences and trending on social media.
In a film world filled with excessively violent thrillers, larger-than-life biopics, and predictable romantic comedies, “3BHK” is a refreshing reminder in the shape of a slice-of-life dramedy, tackling friendships in the city, found families, and millennial problems while exploring a new social lifestyle. Set in the wild Mumbai landscape, so marked with chaos, the quirky feel-good “3BHK” presents a story centered on three roommates with their 3-bedroom apartment and the heaps of emotional messes that come with the rent.
Synopsis: What Is 3BHK About?
“3BHK” circles around three unlikely roommates, Meera, Akshay and Zoya, who each have their own emotional baggage, career aspirations and romantic issue, and who are compelled to settle into a large 3-bedroom flat in suburban Mumbai. Their relationship is a simple renting arrangement, but it grows into an overwhelming string of life, laughter, secrets, chaos and support.
Simply put, the film is about an urban way of survival. It is an urban way of understanding our propriety or emotional real estate in each other’s lives. The three roommates, deal with their lives as they are, with Meera’s broken relationship with her fiancé, Akshay’s corporate burnout and Zoya’s fight for her creative dream, are told with brutal honesty.
The Cast and Performances: Raw, Real, and Relatable
3BHK’s strongest pillar is definitely its cast of the three rising stars who brought each character to life with such depth and realistic performances.
● Sayani Gupta as Meera
Sayani gives a powerful and layered performance as Meera, a marketing person dealing with a bad engagement and tremendous pressure to succeed. Her expressive eyes and underlying strength anchor many of the emotional moments throughout this film.
● Amol Parashar as Akshay
Known previously as a digital first creator, Amol crushes the role of the overworked consultant, lost in the abyss of adulthood in his late 20s. Like Sayani, Amol has great comedic timing, but his story of vulnerability is where his strengths appear.
● Shriya Pilgaonkar as Zoya
Zoya is a rebel theatre creator trying to be heard in a world that doesn’t value creativity. Shriya brings both spark and soul, giving Zoya a likability and inspiring-ness that really animates the character.
Through these performances, the chemistry between the three leads feels organic, and their dialogue feels authentic like we are privy to a small moment in time, such as an authentic conversation on a balcony at midnight or a moment at a cafe that very much resembles something that would happen in Mumbai.
Visuals, Music & Aesthetics: A Vibe of Its Own
Cinematographer Jay Oza makes brilliant use of confined spaces – a bedroom, a balcony, crowded trains – spaces through which we can visualize each character’s emotional inner worlds. Each frame is saturated with warmth, color and a certain brand of chaos that playfully meditates to the unpredictability of shared living.
● Music by Anurag Saikia
The film’s soundtrack features a great blend of indie-folk tracks and lo-fi beats that enhanced the emotional and thematic underpinning of the film. The film had a good selection of tracks, however I particularly enjoyed those entitled “Room for more” and “Balcony Blues”. Both of which are already generating traction in Spotify charts, and gaining traction among Gen Zs and Millennials.
Why 3BHK Is Now On The 2025 Must Watch List

Here is why we think its on a path to become a sleeper hit in 2025:
1. Relatable Experience:
The landlord’s drama and the fight for WiFi are nothing short of authentic, and the film captured the chaotic and comedic messiness of urban life.

This film does not preach to audiences about any themes but instead allows the audience to feel the weight of every character’s choices, while delivering emotionally engaging storytelling without being overly emotionally manipulative.

Whether the themes are mental health, gender roles or financial insecurity, 3BHK does not shun contemporary issues while being blunt or preachy about its topics.

Themes & Takeaways
3BHK conveys some themes in a delicate manner, but they are profound—and they include:
● Modern Loneliness
In a crowded city, you can feel alone. The film demonstrates that connection is found in the most unlikeliest places—like in itemizing things in a shared flat.
● Fluidity of Family
The film also shows that family that consists only of who shares your DNA isn’t the only definition of family. Sometimes, family is who you share a floor with and cry with at 2 AM while eating Maggi noodles.
● Resilience of Dreams
Each character in the movie had dreams, and even dead-ends and a few failures, they continued to pursue their happiness—and that is a big message for any of us stuck in our lives.
