Started watching the movie in my laptop when I was almost sure that it will be hard to complete. The reviews from my friends were as much negative.
But I find it different.. I always wanted a movie showcasing the lives of people like me, u and the others.. also i could never witness mumbai face to face.. some unknown power or may be the lack of opportunity restrcited my view to tourist spots only.. watching gateway and marine drive along with the artificial luxury of hiranandani always fools people like us. I had the wish to feel the heart of this Mumbai city like i did in kolkata.. i may not have spend enough time in Victoria , may not had long shopping session with gf in esplanade like the others but i can feel the beats of the that city Kolkata.. Likewise I had the wish to portray Mumbai in my mind.. dhobi ghat will remain in my heart for fullfilling all these.. it protrays mumbai.. the title seems to be perfect.. DHOBI GHAT.. mumbai is not about the money and opportunity.. its about the dreams mumbaiyas bear in their heart.. also the lives. people... their run for the mirages.. people with such dreams which he himself knows impossible in unconscious mind but still optimistic. thats the point i use to make.. mumbai and people here are different.. because of the optimism this city plants in its root??
also, the description of the mumbai city, people,, rain, bai and the sea was awesome.. how well she said when she saying "i can share all my secrets to it.. it will keep everything in it softly" .excellent thought..... sea, marine drive, and the dhobi ghat all these are unique for itself and the people who are related to it... all i can say is that kiran rao can see things which are hidden but mostly prevalent..no offence to al those who felt it bogus.. this is totally my view point.. evry one has its own taste ..own line of sight.. only thing i could not understand was the last picture.. the lady with her eyes filled with so much untold pain was awesome but the rest of the picture is still a riddle to me.... obviously this is a masterpiece but not to all....
