When the main players in a sex comedy are such talented and interesting actors, one naturally goes into the film with high expectations. You discover its resemblance to veteran Woody Allen’s much appreciated take on infidelity, Husbands And Wives and a bit annoyingly a lot of its seemingly best punch lines (passive aggression, don’t defend your sex) are all actually ripped off. Yet, the reason you don’t resent this comic caper much is because of its cast and some delightfully real moments from the lives of urbane young married couples.There’s not much of a plot here. The deal here is all about characterisation.Samit( Irrfan Khan ) and Mita ( Soha Ali Khan ) are married but not made for each other.He loves to experiment in bed and wants a sexually aggressive wife, but Mita is an intellectual who cherishes delicate moments of love and wants to go slow with her sexually impatient husband.Expectedly, Irrfan falls for his curvy aerobics instructor ( Payal Rohatgi ) who is a sex bomb with a defused intellect.

The wedge in Samit and Mita’s marriage forces their friends Rishi ( Rahul Bose ) and Simi ( Konkona Sen Sharma ) to ponder over their dull married life.Deep within, Rishi, a professor, is tormented (pleasantly though) by sexual fantasies about his student Raga (Saba), while Simi, an agony aunt for a magazine, finds herself getting attracted to Veer ( Rahul Khanna ), an art director nursing a heart break.But, willy-nilly, Simi ends up playing a matchmaker between Veer and Mita (Soha).How this tangle of adulterous flings plays out for each character is what ‘Dil Kabaddi’ is about.

Director Anil Senior takes inspiration from Wood Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ and gives it a desi spin by tilting the story more towards sex than relational complexities.‘Dil Kabaddi’ starts off pretty well but gets repetitive in the second half when you find the same ribaldry being played out over again in different situations.The story keeps spiraling in circles till the fag end when the director probably realizes that the freaking plot is heading nowhere and tries to give it a definitive direction.
