The cringe was intense with this one, starting right off the bat with the song YES. She's the most vapid geneticist I could imagine...and I can imagine quite a bit. Terrible editing with out-of joint plot points. I had to quit after 45The cringe was intense with this one, starting right off the bat with the song YES. She's the most vapid geneticist I could imagine...and I can imagine quite a bit. Terrible editing with out-of joint plot points. I had to quit after 45 minutes. To vomit.

Funny, charming, with a lovely onscreen chemistry between Brie Larson and Utkarsh Ambudkar (he's one to keep an eye on).
Critics decry that there is not enough originality in films today and then a unique gem like Basmati Blues comes along—–a film like no other——and then most of the critics attack it for being different.
What a breath of fresh air. The cinematography is gorgeous, the singing is great, the script is hilarious.

First of all people should get paid to watch this garbage. When I mean getting paid I mean a lot of money. This is not just a waste of time but tortue for your eyes, ears and especially your intelligence.

Not nearly as bad as too many thin-skinned PC critics, etc, etc, have made out. This Hollywood homage to Bollywood features good performances and a bright, meaningful, music and song score by Rajib Karmakar.

This Hollywood homage to Bollywood features good performances and a bright, meaningful, music and song score by Rajib Karmakar. Good-looking cinematography and locations make this a different and entertaining musical treat – with young and old stars doing very well together. Expand
