Basmati Blues (2017)
Wonderful music, great singing, unusual & outstanding plot

This film is the best musical I have seen in years. The singing is great and the performances outstanding. The theme, about agricultural sustainibility and the dangers of big-agro monoculture, seems far fetched for a musical romane. But theme blends in perfectly due to some clever, articulate lyrics. The serious subject is a scaffolding to lift up the entire piece, rather than weighing it down.
It's nice to see--and hear--a musical where the main players can actually sing. So much better, for example, than the vastly overrated "La La Land."
I generally love horror and suspense and serious dramas. but it's nice to take in this movie and feel the joy and hope it radiates
