CURRY SCENT is a fresh tale of a young immigrant family that comes to Florida in search of the American Dream. As they navigate the pitfalls of their new life abroad, doing menial jobs that many new immigrants find themselves forced to do, they still find humour and an overriding desire to succeed in their new life.
The story focuses on Geetha, the 19-year-old daughter and center of her eight-member family as she navigates the dating world in hopes of finding a suitable match to legitimize her visa. In her journey, she encounters the forces it takes to understand what she loves about her country and at what price she is willing to forsake it.
Told with uplifting humour and a variety of situations, from their cramped living quarters to her various excursions on which the entire family seems to participate, CURRY SCENT is a genuinely feel-good story about a serious topic that will resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds. CURRY SCENT is truly a feel-good romantic comedy that will resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds.
Written by Nisha Sabharwal and directed by Christa Boarini, the film was produced by Mohit Sabharwal, Nisha Sabharwal, Christa Boarini, Cameron Brumbelow, Bobby Marinelli, and Melissa McNerney. The ensemble cast features Indigo Sabharwal (‘Geetha’), Sameer Khan (‘Suresh’), Anita Sharma (‘Manju’), Courtney Warner (‘Nancy’), Justin David (‘Veer’), Priya Deva (‘Suman’), Melanie Kiran (‘Mira’), Nirvan Patnaik (‘Samir’), Krishna Sistla Ward (‘Aunt Beeba’), Malvika Sheth (‘Shirya’), Abi Bais (‘Uncle Billu’), Anirudh Keshamouni (‘Krishna’), Nikhil Kamkolkar (‘Ravi’), Akalvir (‘Som’), Michael MacLeod (‘Lush’), Talha Ehtasham (‘Adit’), Edward Miller (‘Frank’), and Anthony Farid (‘Jordan’).
Filmmaker Nisha Sabharwal states:
“CURRY SCENT is told from the eyes of my own immigrant journey, as I left my familiar country, relationships, and connections behind finding a new home and new beginnings in America. This is the true story of immigration, and it has a powerful message which questions the very soul of one’s being, as the central character wrestles with how far she is willing to go to embrace her new culture.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire CURRY SCENT directly with Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
