Caught in the web of post-marital boredom and the irresistible temptation of lurking out of the relationship for some fun, Dil Kabaddi tackles the journey of two modern day couples in urban India, Samit and Mita & Rishi and Simi.
While Samit is indeed proud of his philandering and thoroughly enjoys the adventure and experimentation, Mita is at the receiving end of his adulterous ways. His pride along with her suffering defines their relationship. On the other hand, as Rishi tries really hard to walk that extra-mile and get rid of his monogamy, Simi struggles to decide whether she is really cut out for something outside of marriage or not. His desperation coupled with her confusion, decide the dynamics of this relationship. As the four saddle their way on the marital marathon, they come across Kaya, who spices up the goings-on between Samit and Mita; Raga, who gives Rishi the motivation to take the next step; and Veer who ends up for a short stint with Mita and becomes the sole reason for Simi’‘‘‘s confusion. How the quartet handles these complex, sensitive matters of the heart and how they solve the never ending quests which their hearts put them through, with some winning the battle and some ending up with a broken heart, is essentially the crux of the plot of Dil Kabaddi.
Dil Kabaddi is a humourous and exaggerated take on the dynamics of the relationships between married couples, without being judgemental. It reveals the internal dilemma of the characters as they struggle to maintain or easily let go of their marriages, to fulfill their deeper desires. I have tried to etch out each character in the film in such a way, which reflects all the desires of a modern day married couple. Through this story, I have tried to project how they try and find harmony and balance, by sacrificing at times and compromising at others. What happens when each one holds on to their own individual stance and how the dynamics change accordingly, is also something, which I have explored.
THE BUZZ
Dil Kabaddi will mark the acting debut of newcomer Saba Azad. She has grown on and around the stage out of pure default as her family has been and continues to be actively associated with theatre as well as other performing arts. A childhood spent surrounded by the stalwarts of Indian theatre created the perfectly conducive environ which further nurtured her love for the performing arts. Saba had an opportunity to face the camera young, acting in a couple of children’‘‘‘s films. During school she was always a part of the school theatre as well as dance productions…..interest in dance led her to train in Oddissi, ballet, jazz, Latin as well as the contemporary dance forms. Which kept the fire for the arts going in her. Here again she got an opportunity to perform with her Odissi guru in and outside the country including England Canada and Nepal. After schooling the obvious ‘‘‘‘now what?’‘‘‘ question popped up and it was the easiest to answer. A lead role in a short film for a friend which incidentally traveled to festivals in New York, Florence and Israel sealed the deal and re-triggered the love for the camera and there has been no looking back since. Saba moved to Bombay from Delhi round a year and a half back. In her time here she has featured in a dozen commercials ( Kit Kat, Vodafone, Sunsilk, Nescafe , Mayur Suitings, Masterstroke, Dabur juice to name a few) as well as big print campaigns [ Johnson & Johnson ( clean and clear), Westside, Amway].
She is playing a young student’‘‘‘s role in "Dil Kabbadi" with new director Anil Sharma.

Milliblog Sachin’s vocals and the slow, rhythmic melody in Ehsaan are pretty impressive while the Reggaeton-based Uthale ya’s colloquial lyrics jar, even as the tune is decent. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan turns the soundtrack’s focus towards his brand of music in Zindagi ye, but Sachin’s arrangements end up into a bizarre medley. The retro sound in Ok tata done is interesting but Mika goes completely overboard and in Nasha nashila, Sachin creates a fairly likeable, Pritam-like sound. The last track, Goodnight, will be of immense help in our action post that phrase. Indipop composer Sachin Gupta’s filmi debut is just tolerable. |
