'Mixed Doubles' is realistic, but extremely funny & entertaining, as well. Its an under-rated film, that hasn't lapped up the way it should have with film buffs.

'Mixed Doubles' Synopsis: To spice up his life, a husband asks his wife to swap him for another male, while he swaps her for the other male's wife.

'Mixed Doubles' tells an absurd love-story of a couple, with a lot of humor, which quite frankly, works the most for this venture. The Screenplay is innovative & engaging. However, the final 20-minutes, are disappointing. The climax, in particular, looks artificial. Rajat Kapoor's Direction is simple, yet perfect. Cinematography & Editing are average.

Performance-Wise: Ranvir Shorey & Konkona Sen Sharma lead the film with sterling performances. Both of the actors, are in top-form! Koel Purie is excellent. Rajat Kapoor, himself, delivers a natural performance. Saurabh Shukla is decent. But the actor who steals the show, is, Vinay Pathak. In a brief role, the highly-talented actor pitches in a splendid performance. Naseeruddin Shah looks tired in a cameo.

On the whole, 'Mixed Doubles' is quite a fun ride.
