B-town perfectionist Aamir’s wifey Kiran’s first helming hat ‘Dhobi Ghat’ failed to enter the final phase of the prestigious BAFTA ( British Academy of Film and Television Arts).

The movie made its way in the BAFTA Longlist in Film Not in the English Language category, but failed to make it to the final five list for the prestigious international award.

‘Dhobi Ghat’ – was a sincere attempt by Kiran Rao which looked beyond Bollywood and starred Aamir Khan Monica Dogra and Prateik in the intertwined tales of near miss.

The long list is decided after round one of voting by members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts members. It lists 15 contenders in each category, which are reduced to five for the final nominations.

The final five for the best foreign language film include "Incendies" (Canada), "Pina" (Germany), "Potiche" (France), "A Separation" (Iran) and "The Skin I Live In (Spain)".

Aamir luck as a producer was not not favorable this time too though Dhobi Ghat got recognitions at international festivals.

His previous attempt ‘Lagaan’ though entered the Final 5 lost it to ‘No Man’s Land’.

Previously Aamir’s "Rang De Basanti", directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, was in top five nominations for best foreign language film category at BAFTA in 2007, but it lost the title to Mexican film "Pan's Labyrinth".
