Basmati Blues Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Rex Reed
Basmati Blues is the kind of easily forgiven early career move that is best released on home video and forgotten.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Basmati Blues" is one of those movies that isn't terrible but still leaves you wondering why it exists.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This attempt at an American-style Bollywood musical is earnest at best and sappy, nave, and overly sweet at worst; it does have lively moments, but it mainly inspires aggravation and eye-rolling.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Basmati 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.
Film Journal International
André Hereford
Cross-cultural musical romantic comedy stirs together some pleasing ingredients but falls short of its expansive ambitions.
The Film Stage
Christopher Schobert
Basmati 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.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Larson's charismatic screen presence can't elevate such woefully lackluster material.
Baret News
Kam Williams
A shaky, Bollywood-style musical worth a watch just to see Oscar-winner Brie Larson give it her all.
The Young Folks
Kristen Lopez
Larson is cute but this is far beneath her talents.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
Larson's work in Basmati Blues is much like the film as a whole-not great by any means but undeniably charming nevertheless.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
An amiable misfire.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark 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.
HollywoodInToto.com
Christian Toto
Basmati Blues only scores so many points for not making its heroine a struggling magazine writer in the Big Apple.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
A broadly played though vibrantly photographed musical romantic-comedy that fails to find a happy medium between cute-and-clever and simply cloying.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
There's nothing wrong about sending the message of fighting corporate greed but it's through execution of the material that ultimately fails Basmati Blues.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Basmati Blues clearly wants to be a Western take on a Bollywood movie. In reality, it's a "Bollywoof" movie, which is to say, a Bollywood wannabe that's a real dog.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Watching 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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Ca-Ca Land.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
The movie starts out heedless in its desire to charm, but it winds up feeling constrained by self-consciousness, and more's the pity.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Danny Baron's film awkwardly melds Bollywood romcom tropes with a half-hearted critique of the GMO industry.
