I waited  long for this movie not as an Amir khan fan but for the completely different subject based on Dhobi Ghat of Mumbai,world's largest laundry.After watching the film i can retrieve why the film is named Dhobi Ghat with the tag Mumbai Diaries.To whet my craving and excitement revolving around the film,i googled a lot to envisage the story's characters that how they carry  their life forward and what their intentions are and how they are interconnected with each other.

Now if i have to talk on something about the actors other than the Idiot and prateik babbar,two newcomers wore the role of jasmin and Shai with aplomb.Through out the film what i find little gratuitous is white-colored hair  of Arun on front-head,that does not go with today's advanced level of make-up.you get it instantly that  that is colored only to make him look stressed-out old wanderer.

This film is little bit slow,of course not populated with masala scenes,and hard-core genuine bollywood pathos,which now-a-days an unimaginable venture from this industry.

With Dhobi Ghat it can be said  that Kiran Rao has not set her foot in wrong place rather than she has tried her best to make an example out of this movie,indeed,she passed with bright marks given by intellectual movie buffs and may be some Dhobi Ghat worker.Playing her own real life husband in a serious subtle character didn't add to much difference it should have done,but every role is not made for everyone.There are many shortcomings excessively coming out from the character Arun that he is trying  hard to speak english as  fluently as an NRI and whose first language is not english.Speaking fluent English is not a problem but the attitude emanating while doing so gets on nerves easily.
