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 caught in web of boredom, loss
of love and temptation.
Samit (Irrfan Khan) is a bored banker, married to Mita (Soha
Ali Khan) who is a Cosmetic Surgeon. Samit is suffering
from a 7 year itch, only earlier. He prefers getting
this itch scratched by a lovely hot cat Kaya (Payal
Rohatgi), their sexual escapades are not enough to be
sold as an aphrodisiac fantasy. He loves Kaya with a
passion without pretending intellectual capability and
wants to live life King-size and unconventional.
Samit’s wife Mita is sexy, honest and forthright to a
fault. She is an intellectual who gets creatively
passionate about theatre, architecture and other arts.
But she stirs up a hot passion in Veer (Rahul Khanna)
who unwillingly falls for her.
Kaya (Payal Rohatgi) is an aerobics instructor and
Samit's hottest fantasy. A beautiful woman who tries
really hard... She stirs up attention where ever she
goes. Has an excercise for everything... For waist
reduction, breast enhancement, abs, toning love
handles...
Raga (Saba) is a student, single. A mixed up hormonally
driven individual. She is in awe of her professor Rishi,
and has a preference for older men in all her past
relationships. She prefers relationships in numbers...
The more the merrier.
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. 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.

The other couple is Rishi Sharma (Rahul Bose), a professor
and his wife Simi (Konkona Sen). Rishi has a weakness for
"Bad" women who he himself has labeled as 'Suicide
Bombers'. Being a writer, his imagination was always in an
overdrive. But Rishi thinks... Only thinks... That a hot
lusty affair with his student may not be a bad idea at
all.
Simi, the Agony Aunt in a publication, who thinks he is
perfect husband material. She can drive anybody nuts and
has this air of 'Poor me' and 'Please help me' but has a
will of iron and does exactly as she pleases. Simi too,
finds Veer very tempting, but only after she has set him
up with Mita.
Veer (Rahul Khanna) is an art director, single currently
heart broken. He is Simi's colleague with a great sense of
humour... One that improves after a couple of drinks! He
was attracted at first sight to Mita. Thinks of himself as
a one woman man... One Woman at a time, that is...
As these two couples 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,
with some winning the battle and some ending up with a
broken heart, is supported by terrific performances by the
lead actors.
