Dhobi Ghat
DHOBI GHAT (MUMBAI DIARIES), Kiran Rao's directorial debut, is set in the teeming metropolis of Mumbai, where four people, separated by class and language, are drawn together in compelling relationships. The films stars and was produced by Aamir Khan (3 IDIOTS, the Oscar® nominated LAGAAN), one of India's most popular actors who is also an award-winning director and producer. DHOBI GHAT (MUMBAI DIARIES) made its World Premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
Shai (Monica Dogra), an affluent investment banker on sabbatical, strikes up an unusual friendship with Munna (Prateik), a young and handsome laundry boy (dhobi) with ambitions of being a Bollywood actor, and has a brief dalliance with Arun (Aamir Khan), a gifted painter. As Shai's relationship with Munna deepens, Arun discovers in his house a secret about Yasmin (Kriti Malhotra), the previous tenant, that brings meaning to his solitary life. As they slip away from familiar moorings and drift closer together, the city finds its way into crevices of their inner worlds.
