long-ford This film may deal with the supposedly sensational topic of 'partner-swapping' but is surprisingly watchable. The relationship between Konkana Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey feels real. Both do a good job. There is plenty of humor but the film is at heart a gentle romance as well as a cautionary tale. Apart from a few foul words, there is very little that is objectionable in the film. Vinay Pathak and Naseeruddin Shah have nice comic roles while directer Rajat Kapoor chips in with an understated yet decent performance. While admittedly not for everyone, the film is definitely worth watching.Overall 7/10
priya-0105 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.
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.
ridleyrules A couple in their thirties with a school-going son have everything materially. Jobs, a car, a nice apartment. But in the bedroom, things are not as they were at the beginning of their marriage. From a friend coming over from the USA, the husband hears about "swinging" or wife-swapping. He hopes this may solve their relational problems. He buys a magazine with classifieds and tries to persuade his wife...Pretty funny and fresh romantic comedy and morality tale (or "a-morality tale" as is proclaimed before the end titles.).This is definitely one of the most modern stories from India that I have seen. Refreshing and funny and with likable actors.Recommended if you think that you can identify with a married couple in their thirties. 8/10Although the IMDb Status says "Filming" while posting this review, the film looked very finished when I saw this at the 2006 International Film Festival of Rotterdam.
