Leave your thoughts about Basmati Blues.
| Film Journal InternationalAndré HerefordCross-cultural musical romantic comedy stirs together some pleasing ingredients but falls short of its expansive ambitions. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerThe movie starts out heedless in its desire to charm, but it winds up feeling constrained by self-consciousness, and more's the pity. |
| The Film StageChristopher SchobertBasmati Blues is an inoffensive trifle. It does not warrant outrage; it's not bold enough to risk it. Yet there is some heart, and undoubtedly, some ambition. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliBasmati Blues isn't nearly as bad as some of the online buzz might indicate...and that's actually unfortunate. Instead of vying for a so-bad-it's-entertaining categorization, it falls squarely into the hell of cinematic mediocrity. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoBasmati Blues only scores so many points for not making its heroine a struggling magazine writer in the Big Apple. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark Dujsik[O]ne might see the movie's clunky story, its forced humor, its awkward editing rhythms, and its garish visuals as intentional parts of the movie's attempted charm. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonLarson's charismatic screen presence can't elevate such woefully lackluster material. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA shaky, Bollywood-style musical worth a watch just to see Oscar-winner Brie Larson give it her all. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlWatching it is something like watching a play's first full dress rehearsal or a gangly baby deer's initial efforts to stand, where it's the effort that's more engaging than the achievement itself. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThis attempt at an American-style Bollywood musical is earnest at best and sappy, naïve, and overly sweet at worst; it does have lively moments, but it mainly inspires aggravation and eye-rolling. |
