Dhobi Ghat: Cerebral Entertainment At Its Best

Jan 21, 2011 09:22 AM Read

Arun caresses his canvass in an extremely self assured manner knowing well that he's creating a masterpiece. And that's exactly the sentiment you get about debutante director Kiran Rao who paints 'Dhobi Ghat' with colors of uncompromised brilliance. It is delicate storytelling at its best aided ...Read More

A few days back I watched the movie Dhobi Ghat on my laptop. And thank God for that because Dhobi Ghat is not a movie on which one can incur expenditure on expensive PVR tickets. It is also not a movie to be watched on TV with loads of advertisements in between brea...Read More

Dhobi Ghat is an eccentric movie, not your commercial desperate to entertain drama. Its more about looking at people how they are, along with their flaws, insecurities and unexpected displays of kindness and wisdom, without overhyping any of them. Its start is bound to make you feel its a weird ...Read More

Mumbai beckons, but alas!

Feb 27, 2011 06:45 PM Read

Review on Dhobi Ghat. The movie is an excellent tribute to the merciless, cruel soul of the city of Mumbai. People come and go here, fall in and out of love, and die in its very lap, but Mumbai shows no remorse. One after another people fall for it and get attracted, only to be killed in cold...Read More

Dhobi Ghat

Feb 03, 2011 03:47 AM Read

Movies have always gratified the basic human curiosity to peek into the lives of other people; they are vehicles of visual pleasure, albeit in a voyeuristic way. The characters in Dhobi Ghat cater to the same standards of voyeurism to which we ourselves as viewers subscribe. The NRI girl want...Read More

A Melancholic delight

Jan 27, 2011 10:38 AM Read

Having read the mixed bag of reviews of this film, I had decided to give it a miss. But Aamir had ensured that no other big releases affected chances of his better half's magnum opus and hence I had to grudgingly make it to watch this one. Right from the outset as the credits rolled in, the m...Read More
