Heartwarming Immigrant Tale in New Romantic Comedy “Curry Scent”
A delightful new romantic comedy from the mother-daughter team of Nisha and Indigo Sabharwal provides a heartwarming perspective on an immigrant family’s pursuit of the elusive American Dream.
“Curry Scent” chronicles the journey of 19-year-old Geetha, played by Indigo Sabharwal, as she searches for a romantic partner to help secure her visa while her extensive family adjusts to life in the United States. Like many immigrants, Geetha’s family is driven by a strong determination to thrive, despite confronting the difficult realities of cramped living spaces and jobs that do not match their qualifications.
Distributed by Freestyle Digital Media, a part of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, the film delves into critical themes of love, family, cultural identity, and resilience, all presented with a lighthearted tone that appeals to viewers of all ages.
Filmmaker Nisha Sabharwal remarked, “I saw in Indigo the young girl I was when I came to this country. Her natural talent and delivery made her the perfect choice to bring this story to life.” This sentiment reflects the shared experiences of many immigrants and the generational ties that bind families.
Indigo Sabharwal, who not only stars in the film but also serves as a producer, expressed her gratitude for her mother’s dedication. “My mom’s commitment has inspired me,” she said. “While filmmaking can be challenging, I find both acting and producing incredibly rewarding.” This collaboration showcases the bonds of family in both personal and professional realms.
As Geetha navigates the complexities of her new life in Florida, the film reveals how her pursuit of a romantic relationship leads her to appreciate what her new country has to offer, as well as the sacrifices involved in such a journey.
Nisha Sabharwal noted, “Joint family living produces unique, heartwarming humor, especially through a Western lens. Immigrating is never simple, but the love and support of family make every challenge achievable. Additionally, our culture emphasizes karma — good things happen to good people.” This perspective resonates deeply with the immigrant experience, which often involves perseverance through hardships united by familial bonds.
“Curry Scent” is currently available for rent or purchase across all North American digital HD platforms, as well as on DVD.
