Anita Panchouri is the doting daughter of a deep in debt Indian businessman. She's on the verge of willingly marrying a wealthy suitor when she meets a romantic rasta singer, Lee de Leon who's drafted last minute to perform at her engagement party. There are sparks, naturally, but Anita refuses to acknowledge them, focusing instead on playing matchmaker to a constantly bickering, secretly-in-love couple: her sarcastic cousin Poorvi and her underachieving future brother-in-law, Partiv. Of course, no one can see these sworn enemies are made for each other...no one except Lee who vows to unite the two. Anita is skeptical that Lee, the newly arrived stranger, can pull off a feat she's been trying to accomplish for years. When he succeeds in transforming the fighters into love birds through a little creative Cupidry, however, Anita's moved by Lee's romantic gifts and decides she wants to be with him, just once, before she enters a loveless marriage for the sake of her father's future. But Anita's designs on Lee don't go unnoticed. Nikhil, the territorial younger brother of Anita's fiancé, picks up on the attraction, especially when Lee unexpectedly switches his set to sing a love song at a big soca show. And when Nikhil learns the true state of the dismal Panchouri finances the family's been hiding, he sets about a plan of revenge that will destroy Anita and her father and crush her chance at true love. Set in beautiful Trinidad and Tobago, BAZODEE is a Bollywood style Caribbean musical about being true to yourself and honest in love at all costs.
Leave your thoughts about Bazodee.
| The New York TimesHelen T. VerongosThe title, by the way, is Trinidadian slang for being disoriented or dizzy or just a little bit crazy, possibly because of romance. And you might go bazodee over that contagious soca beat. |
| Globe and MailDenise BalkissoonThe film never weaves together its various strands as tightly as the soundtrack does, and it’s unlikely that those unfamiliar with the cultures of the Caribbean will understand where everyone is coming from. |
| VarietyNick SchagerBazodee itself dutifully hews to convention, but its plotting is so torpid that it never feels as if there are any genuine stakes to the protagonist’s which-beau-should-I-choose predicament. |
| User ReviewKristina BWhat a wonderful movie I highly recommend it I couldn't keep my booty still in my seat and I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear watching this film. I hope there is a part 2 and a soundtrack |
| User ReviewNazira BAbsolutely loved it! Took all my friends white and carribean and we all couldn't stop smiling, singing and dancing! ?? |
| User ReviewSunShine Clove love loved this movie...if you a soca junkie you will love it too...even the guys liked it....want more. |
| User ReviewJustin FFantastic film! Very funny, and you really feel for the characters. A great feel good movie with amazing music. |
| User ReviewWinston DOverall an enjoyable movie with tremendous potential to showcase Trinidad its Carnival and Indo-Caribbean culture. I especially loved the underlying theme of unity through the mixing of our musical culture. The bollywood flavour is a sound basis to launch Machel's journey into movie fame and fortune and fits well with some of his most memorable pieces like "Unity". |
| User ReviewLilly VLoved the authenticity and message in this movie. Awesome music and a real slice of trinbago flavor |
| User ReviewPrivate Umusic and scenes were great but the story had a million holes. acting by Machel and lead female were good overall the acting was corny. music is the what kept this movie going. |
