Dhobi Ghat Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Nearly every element of Rao's debut is uneven. But her passionate vision of so much useless prejudice leaves a lingering impact.
Cinema Writer
Jay Antani
a refreshing, well-meaning entry in India's new brand of globally savvy cinema, [which] augurs exciting things from [director] Rao and her peers
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The sex/class conflicts are way too twee.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
An odd amalgam of soap opera and street-level realism, with, alas, the former trumping the latter.
Film Journal International
David Noh
What is undoubtedly a sincere attempt to present the contrasting lives in a roiling city unfortunately seems more of a facile vanity project for the principals involved.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Romance and regret woven in four strands of India's striving Muslims are slight against Mumbai's striking sights, but have poignant realism (especially Prateik's portrayal).
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
This is a wholly accessible story that most filmgoers will find pithy and generally well done.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
[A] satisfying, well-acted drama.
HuffPost
Gregory Weinkauf
Sleek, subtle, sensual, a very human time-capsule of now.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
Ms. Rao does have an ace up her sleeve, though: Prateik, who in his first lead role gives a nuanced, career-making performance.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
With its key settings in a crowded, largely decrepit, congested yet beguiling, picturesque older portion of this city of 14 million inhabitants, the film is like a rich tapestry in which are interwoven the intersecting lives of three people.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Rao avoids high drama, and while there is humor, the film's tone is one of melancholy.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
Rao's ultimate achievements are undercut by the arrangement of her characters into narrative castes that cross paths but can't quite connect.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An enthralling movie set in Bombay about the dreams and desires of four very different people.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A mesmerizing, multilayered portrait of one of the world's great cities.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Had Rao chosen to foreground his tantalizing ideas instead of his instantly forgettable characters, Mumbai Diaries could have been more than the sum of its parts.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
That Kiran Rao doesn't adequately interrogate her own relationship to her subjects means that Mumbai Diaries can't quite match its own ambitions
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
The romantic triangle play well in Mumbai.
Variety
Alissa Simon
This tale of four Mumbai dwellers at a crossroads in their lives owes more to Taiwanese or French auteur cinema than to Satyajit Ray.
