I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A brilliant scientist is plucked out of the company lab and sent to India to sell the genetically modified rice she created which she doesn't realize will destroy the farmers she thinks she's helping. Basmati Blues is one of those films where one actor will feel embarrased that even starred in it and that actor will be Brie Larson. This film is not original, not comedic and definitely not a good musical since the singing part doesn't even sound like Larson herself and that was disappointing since actors like Jackman do their own singing. Overall a disappointing film that makes sense for the 3.9 that it got and the 0% that it received on Rotten Tomatoes. (0/10)

Expected the movie to be good considering Brie Larson is in the movie, however it's just an average movie. The movie starts with introduction of Brie Larson who's a scientist at Rice seed producing company. She visits India to promote Newly invented breed of Rice seeds by her Company. She tries to persuade farmers to sign contract of buying seeds from her company. She meets an Indian guy and falls for him. Unaware her company is trying to cheat the farmers to make money, she convinces most of the farmer to accept the contract. However the things change towards the end.A musical movie with predictable turns of romance, anger, betrayal and conscience doesn't creates a great impression. Other than costumes of the character and background music, nothing's great.
