Dhobighat : Glorifying psychological flunks of society under ‘City Heritage’ propaganda,using hotchpotch of abstract film making concepts.

I read in several interviews/articles about Dhobighat that this movie is about Mumbai.This is about Mumbai’s heritage.They were partially right. This movie was indeed about Mumbai who is suffering from psychosomatic issues & that’s it.Mental illness is not city specific and certainly it should not be considered as City Heritage.There are many movies showing weak side of society (with more intense show) but they don’t market movies as “Mumbai Heritage” & yeh..showing frequent frames of different areas of Mumbai was not expected, any amateur artist would do it. (PS: what I consider as psychosomatic issues, many might find normal..:) )
There was not only representation of anomalies of society(or of Mumbai) but also glorification of them by showing them as normal!

About film making – I noticed that director has good skill to observe & shoot emotions as is and I must appreciate efforts but then experimenting everything in 95 minutes? Felt hotchpotch.

Movie zealots should see it once.Mass should avoid it.

Movie Inception

Prelude:

Cobb lost his wife by accident (May be car(train?) accident and Cobb was driving). Cobb started believing himself responsible for wife’s death. His belief became mental disorder.

Cobb’s father-in-law is worried. Worried about children. Cobb is not mentally fit to live social life.

Miles, Cobb’s father-in-law, is a MD psychology. He decided to heal his son-in-law so that he can take care of children.

He decided to use latest shared-dream technique (Advance hypnosis in 2050?) to enter Cobb’s subconscious and repair it.

The Movie:

A dream construct of an architect Miles (Cobb’s father-in-law) having Cobb as a victim to sweep off Cobb’s brain and heal Cob’s guilt (fabricated emotion) related to “he killed her wife (and Miles’ daughter) by inception of an idea about dream-reality swap”

This is how psychologists heal metnally disordered patients using latest available scientific methods.

Miles used dreams as a medium to heal Cobb’s disorder, to change his fabricated belief.
