Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries) Movie Review by Kirk Honeycutt (The Hollywood Reporter)
Dhobi Ghat is no vanity project; rather, it is a fully realized art film with European sensibilities that intertwines the stories of four characters from different worlds but the same lonely, overcrowded city.
In the intersection of these four people and one city, Rao locates a host of dreams, desires, fears and tragedies. Her stories touch on art, photography, poverty, crime and Mumbai’s indelible sense of mystery. In a city where everything is perishable, subject to constant change, four people struggle to send down roots, to discover a sense of belonging. It’s almost a quixotic ambition, but then so is a dhobi dreaming of movie stardom.
Through Arun’s paintings, Shai’s black-and-white photos and Yasmin’s video diary, the movie draws you into the mystery and melancholy that is Mumbai. Each of its characters is vividly sketched yet they are only sketches: You don’t fully grasp any of them. Their lives and personalities remain partially hidden.
