Taking its name from the Mumbai neighborhood where much of the city's washing is done -- traditionally by members of the Dhobi caste -- this ensemble film represents the directorial debut of Kiran Rao, wife of Bollywood star Aamir Khan. The intimate social drama focuses on a quartet of individuals from different castes -- a situation that would normally preclude them from forming friendships. Unique circumstances, however, draw them together.
