It’s interesting to me that we give movies like Basmati Blues such a hard time, but we often give a free pass to, uh, more “distinguished” cultural outlets like the NYT, which nevertheless frequently deal in tired stereotypes and stilted coverage when it comes to the subcontinent. At least the homie Utkarsh is getting a paycheck out of this!
(needless to say this promises to be a terrible movie)
why not wait until the movie is out? probably shitty as it took so long and only capitalizing on brie larson….

100% agree with Zachary.
