Dhobi Ghat is a strangely uneven film. Its beginning feels amateurishly put together; as it heads onwards, though, it finds an easy, flowing rhythm with just the occasional stutter.

Rated: 2.5/5

New York Daily News

Nearly every element of Rao's debut is uneven. But her passionate vision of so much useless prejudice leaves a lingering impact.

Rated: 2/4

The sex/class conflicts are way too twee.

Rated: C+

This is still a love story, both for the city of Mumbai and for the kind of love that is as unaccounted for as it is freely given.

Captured with the assuredness of a true auteur's vision and defying all known conventions of commercial Indian filmmaking, Dhobi Ghat will be a revelation to those that think sub-Continental cinema is just all song-and-dance.

Love this movie which tries to portray realistic lives in a metropolis which is Mumbai. What's beautifully depicted is the interaction between the numerous classes of people and also an interaction of their aspirations. Numerous subtle stories with each having a dramatic impact on the other story. Prateek is a fabulous actor and he proves it again, hope he continues to succeed. Good story/direction/editing.
