'Dhobi Ghat' is rather thinly stretched, reminiscent of a travelogue at times, and it seems to want to pack in a thousand glimpses of a city that is far bigger and multifaceted than this canvas... but it does show some unusual (for movies) places and sides of the city, and has a quiet rhythm that stays with the viewer.
One less main character would have made this a far more coherent film, but it is nonetheless undoubtedly one of the better movies to come out of Bombay in recent years (though on that score it must be said pickings have been slim).
While probably too slight and ambivalent to garner many awards -- which I have no doubt was a primary objective in making this film, clearly focused on the foreign festival and art house crowd rather than Indians -- Kiran Rao has made a very good debut feature. One too many coincidences erode its authenticity, but it always feels very much like Bombay, which is no mean feat.

I found LIVING GODDESS to be an interesting documentary, worth watching because the subject matter is very unusual and a useful glimpse into Nepali & South Asian religious culture.
On the downside it is fairly amateurishly made and needlessly stretched to feature length when a 30- or at most 45-minute treatment would have been more appropriate for the story.
Nitin Sawney's music was, as always, fantastic.
Seen at the BRITDOC festival in Oxford, July 2007.
Let me see, what else can I say? The end credits were very nice.
(This 10-line rule is really a pain.)
