Kiran maintains Dhobi Ghat is not for all

Mixed reviews of Dhobi Ghat haven't upset director Kiran Rao and she believes those who liked the film are her target audience as she had always maintained that the film was not for everyone.

"I have heard different things. I have enjoyed some of the reviews very much. Some reviews were of people who didn't like the film that much. I am happy that some people liked it and they are the kind of people for whom we made this film," Rao said on Friday.

"This is an unusual film and not for everyone's taste, which was expected. I am glad that the audience I made the film for are liking it," she added.

Rao's directorial debut is set in Mumbai. She tries to portray the city in its true colours through four people who come from very different backgrounds.
