Basmati Blues

　　A musical comedy set in India and the boardrooms of Manhattan, Basmati Blues features globalization as its theme and depicts “what happens when a multinational agribusiness company makes greed and profits its only guid...展开ing principal.”
　　Using genetically modified agriculture as a backdrop, the film’s story revolves around a young American woman who works for a U.S.-based company interested in promoting genetically modified rice — rice that is created from plants that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering — in India. While in India, she gets caught in the throes of a love-triangle involving two Indians (a scientist and a government official) who are drawn to her.
　　“The film is an American musical comedy that is heavily influenced by the pulsating energy of Bollywood,” Caulfield added. “It is intended as neither a scathing critique of genetically modified crops, nor a plug for unbridled agribusiness. It’s a story about two cultures coming together to save the day, and should inspire audiences in the West and in India differently.”
