MIXED DOUBLES

Name: Mixed Doubles
Starring: Ranvir, Konkona Sen, Rajat Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla
Rating: ****


A short movie - an hour and a half long - that is a delight to see.

It explores marital relationships in a purely urban environment...

Ranvir, a marketing professional is married to Konkona, another marketing professional. They have been happily married for 10 years with a 7yr old son. A typical working couple living in a typical mumbai flat...having a very usual, working-couple lifestyle.

As the years go by, the sexual needs of partners seem to be varying with Konkona demanding more than Ranvir can give...leading to doubts in her mind about his love and his mind about his own capability. It is interesting to note that while Ranvir questions his own capability...Konkona is only worried that he now loves her less...

In the midst of this conflict walks in an ostensibly happy couple - Ranvir's US-return friend and his wife - who tells Ranvir he is happy because they swing. This starts Ranvir on a frantic hunt for like-minded "swinging" couples.

This hunt takes this happy couple through an entire gamut of emotions - all of which an urban couple can totally relate to.

While watching the movie, it seems that Rajat has taken a page out of the diary of any working, urban couple and shot it as a movie...there's so much to relate to in this movie for everyone...

A must watch..and worth the money and the time spend on it.
