Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

adityakripalani Dhobi Ghat is in the list of my top 10, or lets say top 14 films of all time. I'd made the list the other day and that made me want to write this review. I loved each of the three stories. They all speak of loneliness, of being in love, and of love being the only thing that really makes life worth living. When the end happens, and that final run behind the taxi happens, I began to cry. For this was such a beautiful symbol of selfless love. Isn't that what love is? Going beyond yourself and your shadow sides your insecurities, your pride, your self, to be something better, something more than just another selfish being. The Aamir Khan story was to die for. Beautiful premise itself. And I thought it was one of his finest performances. Least Aamir Khan like, compared to most of his other films. I've been waiting since then for Kiran's next film. I really hope she makes one soon and gets back to direction full time. It's india's loss, that another superbly talented filmmaker has not made another film in so long, specially since there are hardly any women filmmakers around, when compared to the number of male makers. The background score was gorgeous. And i remember the foghorn like sound when the title comes on screen for the first time. And then that image in the taxi in the rain. So much love, this film was made with. it was evident.

prosantadt "Mumbai Diaries" is one of the Finest & most Realistic movies of the last decade! Prateik Babbar was excellent. Monica Dogra was not so great, but affordable! Aamir Khan is in a different avatar this time and completely Justifies it!A Story of 4 protagonists whose lives intersect in the City of Mumbai. Beautiful Story wonderfully executed by Kiran Rao! Some people take religion-biasness issues as the Muslim religion is highlighted a bit in the movie! But that's none of a deal in the movie. It's just to make the character look more Realistic! Nothing much to say about the Movie! Just watch it & Enjoy this Classical Journey!9.5/10

morrison-dylan-fan Since having been shown the classic sports movie Lagaan in 2006,the main thing that I've always heard when friends have been discussing Bollywood movies,is how different the films lead actor (Aamir Khan) is from other "mainstream" Bollywood actors,due to him having taken a very "method" approach for a number of his most well known roles.Recently deciding to cheek his IMDb page to see if he had any upcoming projects,I was shocked to discover that Khan had done a 2010 film with his wife which seemed to have been completely over looked in the UK.After having read a few interesting bits about this oddly over looked movie,I decided the it was the perfect time to take a look at Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan's snapshots of Mumbai.The plot:Arriving in Mumbai to follow her passion for photography,banker/turned amateur photograph Shia goes to visit a newly opened art gallery.Impressed by the art works on display,Shia gets a happy surprise,when she bumps into the struggling artist (Arun) who has created the beautiful works.Being taken by each others good looks and charms,Shia and Arun leave the event so that they can spent the rest of the night alone together.Inital acting in a flirty manner,Shia's hopes of a relationship developing with Arun are left in ruins,when Arun "politely" decides to ask Shia if she is OK with their romance being "A one night thing!".Slamming the door behind her,Arun soon has his washing delivered from a man called Munna. (who also gets the chance later, to cross paths with Shia.)Wanting to go deeper into the art world,Arun moves into a much more classy,upmarket flat.Unpacking the handful of belongings that he has taken,Arun discovers a hand made bag hidden in a corner of the flat,filled with a number of home video tapes filmed by the previous resident of the flat.View on the film:Showing a strongly individual directing style for her debut film,writer/director Kiran Rao shoots the movie in a half docu- drama/half "indie" lo-fi fuzz style,with the scenes featuring the four interconnected characters mostly focusing on their attempts to slowly move "up a level" and reach their long-distance goals.For the "docu- drama" moments of this interesting movie,Rao shows an impressive attention to detail,as the Mumbai skyline is shown in a gloriously over exposed light,and the great on-location out door scenes taking place around the real activates of the residents in the city.Whilst Rao's dialogue rings with a wonderful frankness,where the discussion on love and sex from Shia (played charmingly by debut actress Monica Dogra) and Arun, (played by a quiet and focused Aamir Khan) impressively stays away from feeling sweet and "loved-up",to instead being much more realistically open and genuine.Although the dialogue allows for a good out line to be created for the characters,Rao seems to be overwhelmed by the size of Mumbai,with all of the characters feeling a bit of a distance from being fully formed,as Rao struggles to do a deep,intimate portrait of the characters,as the huge city casts its shadow over the proceedings.

Ahmed Dawod I wanted to watch this movie after my very good experiences with Aamir Khan movies: "3 Idiots" and "Like stars on Earth". So I got the movie and watched it and WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!! The movie - as any of Aamir's movies - has a message to deliver to the audience. but I think the message is lost in the many events of this movie. It tells about lives of different people and their intersections in a way that makes you can't understand who is the main character of this movie. I mean a movie can have more than one main character if they have one common thing. But when they have many things in common and sometimes they differ then you are lost. The ending is open too and you can't know how the issues ended at all. I don't know but I'm very disappointed with this movie. I rated it with 6 out of 10 because it has a very noble message to deliver but it failed to deliver it right. I'm neither regretting watching it nor will be if I didn't.
