A CARIBBEAN MUSICAL

-

ANITA PANCHOURI is the doting daughter of a deep-in-debt Indian businessma­n. She’s on the verge of willingly marrying a wealthy suitor when she meets a romantic Rasta singer, Lee de Leon, who’s drafted last minute to perform at her engagement party. There are sparks, but Anita refuses to acknowledg­e them, focusing instead on playing matchmaker to a constantly bickering, secretly inlove couple: her sarcastic cousin Poorvi and her underachie­ving future brother-in-law, Partiv.

No one can see these sworn enemies are made for each other ... no one except Lee, who vows to unite the two. Anita is sceptical Machel Montano and Natalie Perera in ‘Bazodee’.

that Lee, the newly arrived stranger, can pull off a feat she’s been trying to accomplish for years. When he succeeds in transformi­ng

the fighters into lovebirds through a little creative Cupidry, Anita is moved by Lee’s romantic gifts and decides she Tristan und Isolde wants to be with him, just once, before she enters a loveless marriage for the sake of her father’s future. But this does not go unnoticed. Nikhil, the territoria­l younger brother of Anita’s fiancé, picks up on the attraction, especially when Lee unexpected­ly switches his set to sing a love song at a big soca show.

When Nikhil learns the true state of the dismal Panchouri finances the family’s been hiding, he sets about a plan of revenge that will destroy Anita and her father and crush her chance at true love.

Set in Trinidad and Tobago, Bazodee is a Bollywood-style Caribbean musical starring Natalie Perera and Machel Montano.
