Director Kiran Rao
Starring Aamir Khan, Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra
Genre Drama

The lives of four people from different castes become intertwined in this emotional drama. Set against the lively urban backdrop of Mumbai, an American investment banker, a reclusive artist, a young immigrant, and an ambitious laundromat worker transcend the boundaries of class to form intimate relationships with each other.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Village Voice by

Had Rao chosen to foreground her tantalizing ideas instead of her instantly forgettable characters, Mumbai Diaries could have been more than the sum of its parts.

80

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

It marks a subtle, assured and altogether distinctive feature debut for writer-director Rao and its radiant leading lady, rock star and stage performer Monica Dogra.

65

Movieline by Michelle Orange

Rao's ultimate achievements - including a balanced, doleful tone and moments of city symphony elegance - are undercut by the arrangement of her characters into narrative castes that cross paths but can't quite connect.

Time Out by Nick Schager

Unfortunately, Mumbai Diaries addresses these weighty concerns with such delicacy that they barely make an impact, thus calling further undue attention to the creakiness of the warhorse plot.
