Basmati Blues

Seriously I have never seen such a Bad movie.If this is your understanding of Bollywood then you totally got it wrong.This movie is shallow understanding of what Indian movies are.If they have collaborated with any film people of that state they shot the movie, this movie would have been great.The story of the movie was great but the story telling was so boring and bad could not handle it.

You show rural Indians speaking english like it's usa? The idea behind the film is right and good. Brie is good. Extras are good. Everything else is fake and depressing.

I saw this movie this morning knowing nearly nothing about it. However fairly quickly, as soon as the setting moved to India, it dawned on me that I was watching sort of a western take on a Bollywood movie with music, and romance, dancing, good guys, bad guys, a love triangle, a bit of suspense and a bit of mayhem. The standard elements, identified by some other reviewers here as rom-com are the expected elements in a classic Bollywood film. And, let me be perfectly clear, the bad guys here are clearly the westerners. In fact, part of the suspense comes from wondering how the well-meaning western heroine, a scientist who has naively allowed herself to be manipulated by American agribusiness into doing something very harmful, can possibly redeem herself. Finally she will have to realize that the small farmers who surround her, and who have taken her into their hearts, are living and working under a system very different that what we usually see in the United States. These farmers do not hop into a giant pick-up truck, drive into town, take out a loan and buy their seed from a farm supply store. In my opinion, this is not a great film but it was a lot of fun. I liked it a lot more than La La Land which I also saw very early in its run with no pre-conceived notions of what I would be seeing. However, as I write this, Basmati Blues has a 3.7 rating here while La La Land has an 8.1. I don't get that.... Tonight I did a search on this movie and discovered that an early trailer had ignited controversy.... because of a white horse? and because of the present day phenomenon where angry trolls seem intent on attacking and destroying a movie they could not have actually seen. Please, just don't listen to them!

Vaktinizi bosa harcayip izlemeyin cunku izlemeye degmez.

Brie Larson is my favorite actress. So I didn't care about the poor ratings, I went for the movie. As I watched many Indian movies before, so I knew what I was watching. Random dancing, singing and the critical situations like hindi tv serials. I wonder why people think that American actors would fit in a Indian film.
