Dhobi Ghat: Cerebral Entertainment At Its Best

Arun caresses his canvass in an extremely self assured manner knowing well that he's creating a masterpiece. And that's exactly the sentiment you get about debutante director Kiran Rao who paints 'Dhobi Ghat' with colors of uncompromised brilliance. It is delicate storytelling at its best aided by a mind blowing background score ensuring that the narrative flows like a gurgling mountain stream.

Dhobi Ghat is a fine work of Art. There are many layers and it can be interpreted by different people according to their own viewpoint towards life. It's a superb ode to Mumbai. No, over the top paens about the done-to-death spirit of the city but rather a subtle understanding of the glorious co-existence of the stinking-richness and monsoon-dripping unpredictability in the sprawling chawls. Strangers become friends and redefine selflessness. Also, it salutes a very unique aspect of Mumbai: Self Respect. Whatever one does in Mumbai, they respect what they do.

The film is 95 mins in duration but it doesn't hurry to reach from Point A to Point B. It meanders in the bylanes of subconscious. An artiste in Arun (Aamir Khan) grapples with his personal issues and a quest for an unusual muse. Shai (Monica Dogra), an investment banker and a passionate photographer flirts with physical love and her infatuation for Arun grows stronger because of his rejection. Munna (Prateik), the laundry boy is a catalyst, a link. Yasmin (Kriti Malhotra) had her own small world that accepted whatever came her way with an innocent smile.

It seems the director is in search for her own artistic expression emanating from myriad experiences which has a beginning, a poignant middle and a cathartic culmination. A painting that has its fair share of tumultous how-to-start thoughts and when it is finished, there's a sense of Closure. And once the painting is done, its open to self interpretation by whoever is looking at it. Greatness of any Art is how it gives solace to a cross section of people.

Gustavo Santaolalla's background score is an intrinsic part of the narrative. For the musical pauses, the haunting silences, communication through the mere body language says a lot more than mere words. Nishant Radhakrishnan's editing is seamless. No jarring movements or smart-ass-cuts. The scenes intercut in a smooth manner. Tushar Kanti Ray's camerawork is as Real as it gets capturing the naturalness in all its hues and shades. Art Direction is impressive for there's a minute detailing in what fits the context of various actors and their respective situations.

Aamir Khan is excellent. He internalises the graph of his character. An artist living in claustrophobic circumstances, mood swings, an uncompromising artistic arrogance. No, its not Khan the superstar you are watching. Its Arun. Prateik is a gifted actor with a fine flair for comedy and intensity. Watch his eyes glaze as he innocently lusts Shai or the fervent run borne out of guilt or a sense of shame. Monica Dogra has a raw sensuous appeal and a natural flair for acting. The coquetishness, an urge to absorb the surroundings and a ready smile...she makes a place in the audience's mind space. Kriti Malhotra has the correct North Indian diction and moves you immensely with her simplicity.

Kiran Rao makes a stellar debut with 'Dhobi Ghat'. And she has been supported to the hilt by producer Aamir Khan. I would sum it up as No-Compromise-Cinema! There's no interval, no songs and no trappings of typical commercial cinema. It is cerebral entertainment at its best.

Official Press Release Of Hrithik Roshan's Madame Tussaud's Unveiling

250th Anniversay of Madame Tuassauds brought Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan today face to face with his wax figure. Back in June, the star worked closely with the team at Madame Tussauds London, to ensure the pose, the frame and those biceps to die for were spot on. Fans and members of the press were eager to see the unveiling of this wonderful piece of art. The actor walked into a line up of his hit songs, from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Dhoom. He was 'bopping' along to the songs as he walked in.

His family; once upon time actor Rakesh Roshan, his mother Pinky Roshan, his beautiful wife Susaane Roshan, sister Sunaina Roshan and Hrithik's maternal grandfather producer, director J. Om Prakesh were present; constantly adorning a smile.

On meeting his double Hrithik Roshan commented ''I can't believe I'm here in Madame Tussauds amongst all these legends. I came to Madame Tussauds 25 years ago with my grand-father and I remember I was so excited, I was misbehaving in the line to enter the attraction. And today my grand-father told me how excited he is to see me amidst of these legends. I think I will need to articulate a new word for the Oxford Dictionary to say how I feel today''.

The star of notable films including Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Dhoom 2, Krrish, Jodhaa Akbar and Guzaarish is the youngest male actor from India to be bestowed with this honour by Madame Tussauds.

The wax figure of Hrithik Roshan was wearing a pink glittery waste jacket with denims. As the curtain was raised Hrithik walked around the wax figure shocked to see how amazing it looked. He said he was very impressed with his double and is a fan of the artists who put together the statue.

Liz Edwards, PR Manager at Madame Tussauds London commented; '’We're delighted to welcome Hrithik and his family here today and to be including his figure in our Bollywood area. It is one of our most popular areas in the entire attraction and we know its going to be even more with Hrithik now featured in the line up. The pose is so striking it is sure to wow fans and get ladies hearts a flutters''

Susaane Roshan [Hrithik’s wife] was equally over-joyed “I am so delighted, our whole family is and today is a day that will always be etched in my memory. This is something I am sure my kids will remember and a story that I would share with my grand-children one day”

All The Tweets On What I thought Of Yamla Pagla Deewana

1) If the 1st promo was a riot,thn d film exceeds expectations.Yamla Pagla Deewana is a full on entertainer with good music that makes u Smile!

2) Deols are Back. And they r all set 2 create a solid hungama.Witty dialoguebaazi,fun, clean comedy that's a rib tickler esp in 2nd half...

3) Dharmendra's vintage charm,Sunny's Dhai Kilo Ka Haath (its 5 kilo ka in this one),Bobby's fantastic comic timing...its total paisa vasool..

4) Anupam Kher is hilarious, Mukul Dev brings a chuckle each time he's on screen,Sunny's firang wife is v funny n so r his kids in d film..

5) Yes, its a bit long n cud hav been curtailed slightly but over all Yamla Pagla Deewana makes u laugh n I enjoyed myself thoroughly.Go 4 it..

Tweets On What I Thought Of 'Turning 30'

1) Turning 30 is a decent account of a fiercely independent girl who's unapologetic 'bout having sex on rebound n fights her battles well...

2) Usage of English in d film is at times poignant n at times cheesy..even story lacks novelty, but d treatment esp in 2nd half touches a chord

3) Impressiv music score,heartfelt camarderie between friends n a nice dose of humour n pathos r interwoven well but pace cud hav been tighter

4) Gul Panag's nuanced performance is diff 4m wat u c in Bollywood.She'll show d middle finger,mouth expletives yet can b delicately vulnerable

5) Watch Turning 30 4 Gul's fine performance and a story that's relatable to an extent..

Hrithik Very talented actor, the best dancer and now also very good singer.
I respect his for that for it does not stop on reached and not afraid to experiment and is constantly improved.
I ` m like many films Hrithik, but as its best role I consider Ethan in Guzaarish. This role Hrithik proved that he the serious drama actor and not just the superman or romantic. Happy birthday Hrithik!

@Faridoon_S
Happy bday to the finest actor of his generation- Hrithik! Inspirational, truly nice guy, charismatic, down to earth, simple and sweet! The fact that he is drop dead gorgeous dont hurt either!!

Actress he looks best with- Ash (hands down),
Best dance- Dhoom again,
Best performance- Guzaarish but i think it is still to come

Why do I love him- because he stands by his art even when it 'fails' commercially. Because he is unafraid to experiment to explore his art, because he is the most committed actor today and because inspite of all he has achieved he is totally grounded. because of the smile on his face, the love in his heart and the respect which he has earned from his rivals, peers and fans. there really is noone like him!
Happy birthday hrithik!
