Every year, many Indians migrate to the US in search of the American Dream. Some of them, who were handsomely upper-middle-class in the country, make the leap to get the big moolah once they settle in the States. However, only some of them manage to sail through the current and become rich. In Christa Boarini’s “Curry Scent,” – which is based on Nisha Sabharwal’s book of the same name, we meet an Indian family that doesn’t.

Geetha (Indigo Sabharwal), who works at a local grocery store and lives with her family of 8 in a packed suburban home in Sarasota (Florida); one day decides that she would like to get married in order to save her family from the slumber of the poor class. The decision feels random, and the filmmaker does very little to establish it. Anyway, like us, her family also readily agrees to the decision and partakes in the groom hunt.
