A film about the troubled relationship of two Mumbai couples, Rishi & Simi & Samit & Mita. Whether it's sexual dissatisfaction, a desire for independence, or nothing more than boredom, the characters fumble in the dark of their own emotions when facing relationships that don't suit them anymore. Temptation comes in the form of 'the other,' i.e., that which we don't have but nevertheless want: the college student with a thing for older men; the sensitive colleague from work who yearns for a traditional relationship; the fit aerobics instructor attuned to her body but not her mind. DIL KABADDI ponders the mystery of why human beings invariably view the grass as greener on the other side, as well as the puzzle of why some find out for themselves while others don't.
Rishi is a documentary film maker and teaches at Sophia. Simi, an agony aunt columnist with a magazine, is married to Rishi for the last 2 years. Simi is a rich and contradictory character.'' She's someone with a will of steel who pretends to be helpless.
Their best friends are Samit , a successful banker and Mita , who works for a cosmetic surgeon. If asked how she liked the dinner, she says that she loved it, that it was superb, but she'd like to teach the chef how to make a proper Biryani.
DIL KABADDI follows the moral muddles and emotional crises of Samit, Mita, Simi and Rishi over the next year and a half as the friends fight, separate, take lovers and, in a way, reconcile.
