'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.

I think the movie was really well made. Apart from its theme which has mostly been the topic of discussion, I think its the general treatment of the movie which is commendable. The strengths of the movie are its pace, dialogues, humor and some realistic, natural acting by both Konkana Sen & Ranvir Shorey. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie and recommend it for some easy, fun viewing.

The movie can be best appreciated by the urban crowd of India. The storyline avoides being overtly sentimental or judgemental about any moral position rather treats the subject in a reasonably light-hearted humorous manner. This assures that you enjoy the movie. Viewer interest is further maintained by good dialogues and acting.

Beautifully directed! It's a story about a normal middle class happy couple. A man after 10 years of marriage wanting something different 'sexually' but he doesn't know what. That what leads him to being fascinated with his friend's story about 'wife swapping' & he thinks this is what is missing in their mundane normal married life.

Some people fail to understand the constitution of marriage, where ups & downs are very normal sexually or otherwise & they try to complicate the situation in order to add the excitement. Some times it works & other times……………… It definitely leaves a mark & provokes your thoughts It's a must watch. Very natural acting & superb direction

I went into this movie expecting S*&# and came out thanking my desperation for making me me watch this movie.It really made a what would have been just another afternoon at home a great day at the movies.

The characters are people everyone in the age 25 to 40 can identify with. Everyone of those are someone you can identify in your office or within your own friends.

What i was most impressed with was the language with was exactly like how we as urban Indian from Bombay talk. The only good and bad thing depending on the way you look at it is the lack of abusive or supposedly cheap language that all guys who sit together in the office would use.

The movie is great fun and although you kind off know what is going to happen in the end you still enjoy the ride.

Some of the scenes are hilarious and the acting is top notch.

The scenes where the characters are nervous actually made me nervous when i even thought of putting myself in their shoes ( i am not married though any girl interested).

Also particularly good was the end which left you thinking about what must have happened and I'm sure everyone will have a opinion as to what really happened.

A great movie and a must watch for everyone who is urban Indian especially.
