The movie is not only one of those stereotypical films about India, but also one of those 'white savior comes to rescue Third World village' type of films. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- 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. Full Review
