Dhobi Ghat is a film directed by Kiron Rao. The film has been made under Aamir Khan's production. As a director this is the debut film of Kiron Rao. In this film she has immensely tried to discover the city of Mumbai in a totally different way through four main characters of the movie. Each of the characters are different from each other with different background and profession but they get connected somehow throughout the story.
The film traces the lives of four individuals living in the vibrant city of Mumbai. Shai (Monica Dogra), an investment banker on a sabbatical meets artist Arun (Aamir Khan) in his exhibition and the two get involved in a one-night stand. The next morning, Arun has guilt pangs for his actions. He blames it on drinking too much making a hurt Shai leave untimely.
Shai meets dhobi Munna (Prateik Babbar) and the two soon share a weird relationship. She shoots a portfolio for Munna, who's also a wannabe actor. They are soon seen watching films together and having a good time. Munna has feelings for her, but she is ignorant about the same.
In the new flat that he has shifted to, Arun discovers some belongings left behind by a previous tenant, which includes a video diary. Being intrigued and fascinated by the woman Yasmin (Kriti Malhotra) in the video, he starts painting a series of pictures of what he comprehends. The rest of the film showcases how certain incidents have an everlasting imprint on their lives.
Performance wise, All the actors are fine with their roles. Aamir Khan has a small role and he does it with ease. Prateik Babbar is perfect for his role. He delivers a natural performance. Debut actresses Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra are okay. Kittu Gidwani is alright. The actor enacting the role of Prateik's friend does a fine job.
On the whole, Dhobi Ghat is not a film for masses.
