Genre: Drama
Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat is not a typical movie that you have come across in Bollywood much but movies like LSD and Udaan make a cut in such type.Set in Mumbai, Dhobi ghat is a story of 4 people played by Aamir as Arun who is a Painter and is a introvert , Shai who is a investment banker and a Photography enthusiast , there is Yasmin who is a housewife and likes to share her feelings by taking videos in a handycam whom she is going to send it to her brother and finally there is Munna who is a Dhobi cum rat killer cum aspirational Actor.In this movie, plot is not much of a concern but the characters are.The shear acting skills comes alive slowly but it gets on you gradually.Rao uses her actors in myriad emotions when you feel so sorry for aamir when he finds out the truth about Yasmin with whom he emotionally got attached even though there was no communication. Its a subtle movie shot like a everyday life, with an hour and a half this movie makes an impact at the end.In the end, movie leaves you bit moved and very little entertainment. Munna played by Prateik Babbar leaves us a great impact with his humor,humbleness and then his sacrifice for what he desired for.
Watch Dhobi Ghat with no expectations and let the movie take on its own. A Very Unusual Movie with no proper story and message.
Rating: 3/5- Good
