MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

namashi_1 '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.

Chrysanthepop Made on a rather decent budget, 'Mixed Doubles' gives us a glimpse of an ordinary married couple Malti and Sunil. Though some people do not seem to understand that ups and downs are part of a normal marriage, they just complicate matters by 'spicing' things up as is the case with Sunil. What I liked about 'Mixed Doubles' was the honest attempt with which the story is told. Rajat Kapoor's direction is solid and the narration is smooth. It isn't trying to be anything extra-ordinary. It tells a simple story about a common married couple with an uncommon twist. The relationships are shown wonderfully with a sense of humour like the way Malti seduces Sunil or Sunil's father-in-law cussing at him. The characters are very real and easy to relate to. Sagar Desai's exceptional score flows beautifully with the film. Konkona Sen Sharma, Ranvir Shorey and Naseeruddin Shah all deliver authentic performances. Koel Puri is refreshing to watch and Rajat Kapoor brilliantly downplays his part. Some of my favorite scenes are: when Konkona chases Ranvir with a knife (an act to get him to bed), when Koel busts the balloon and the child pulls a tantrum, when Nasseeruddin is cussing at Ranvir, when Konkona breaks down and the last argument scene before the couple have tea.'Mixed Double' is made with an honest attempt and it works as a great entertainer while raising a question or two about society and ego (but nothing too heavy).

sortarusty 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

kooleshwar 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.
