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.

This film tells the story of an American scientist, who is sent to India to market a new type of rice to farmers.

At first, I thought it was a musical as Brie Larson bursts into a song in the first scene. Then, I realised that this is actually a Bollywood film. It has all the entertaining elements of a Bollywood film, including songs and dances. The story is predictable, but it works. I enjoyed it.

Not only are the songs and acting subpar ...you would think that if you say that you are in Bilari which is in UP (India) then the scenery, language on the signs, the little girl pointing to Larson as she speaks to her mom would be in Hindi or in Urdu...NOT in Malayalam which is from Kerala (south India). Typically American directors who have no clue about India to make it at least consistent.

Couple of years late, thought if she has done Captain Marvel has she made any other interesting movies. Oh No!! This is a movie made with half thought. Bollyoodised attempt by Hollywood. No please don't do it again. Brie delivers a half baked attempt at acting, as if someone twisted her arm to act in this awful plot of a movie. Weirdly Utkarsh Ambudkar actually had a decent performs. This love story is overshadowed by the silly rice mogul storyline which makes Donald Sutherland appear as a half cocked villain. What they should have done is either a straight forward Bollywood style love story or a Hollywood action story about cooperate corruption and distraction of the common man.

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.
