Film production can be an arduous process, but for "Basmati Blues," it was an endless cycle of disruptions and delays. The picture was actually shot in 2013, long before star Brie Larson enjoyed a career boost with her Oscar-winning performance in "Room," with the production spending the next five years reshooting and tinkering to create a final edit before finally seeing a theatrical release earlier this year. It's an uncommon moviemaking story, but it helps to keep such chaos in mind while watching the effort, which opens with a big heart and desire to please, only to slowly grind its way to tedium as director Danny Baron tries to do too much with very little. The concept here is to rework Bollywood formula to fit an American tale of romance and corporate villainy, but Baron is lost at sea, sticking close to punishing formula to help find his way out of this mess. Larson does the best she can with such unchallenging material, and she ends up the lone highlight, smiling and dancing her heart out while the rest of "Basmati Blues" stumbles around, on a weird quest to be a proper musical extravaganza and a condemnation of Monsanto-style agribusiness corruption.  Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
