Review of Dhobi Ghat (2010) by Angadvir S — 25 Jan 2011
I will probably get a lot of flak for every one of these four stars...but I can see why...this is 'the american' of hindi cinema...
Not that it is hindi cinema...infact the only thing I found disappointing about it was that the version I saw was dubbed into hindi from english...i probably would've given the english version 4 and a half stars...
Aamir khan is the highlight here, an artist who makes a childish young bride, from a forgotten camcorder tape, a bride whose new husband pays her little attention, his muse...
There's shai, the optimistic photographerl from the USA... there's munna, who she befriends,the dhobi who works whatever job that earns him a living, but aspires to be an actor...
This is urban angst, in mumbai...
Definitely not for everyone...it is slow, measured, and arty...
It is pure cinema...
