Bollywood annually produces more than twice the amount of movies that Hollwood produces. They universally appeal to the lowest common denominator viewer, are overly long to offer a good “value proposition”, the singalongs are unbearably cringe, overacting is rampant, as are tired tropes. Whether it be comedy, drama, or regional art pieces, it’s just not good.

    I think you missed the point.

    All of those criticisms are the point - it’s like they do B movies cranked to 11, and we’re all in on it.

    They’re like eating the so-bad-for-you favorite food and enjoying it for what it is.

    Can I eat/watch it every day? No. But occasionally it’s fun to do.

      My point is that calling them B movies is generous. I would rather spend all day at the DMV, have a tooth pulled, or work on my taxes. They are unwatchably, painfully, bad.

          I would say they don’t actually like movies. They said they hated RRR. I am not even sure how anyone with the slightest of open minds wouldn’t like it. At least aspects of it

            I’m not much for movies, truthfully, with exceptions of course, but every Bollywood action flick I have seen was a fucking riotous spectacle and highly entertaining. There’s something deeper wrong with that dude.

    This opinion is so ignorant, gatekeepy and out of touch that I have no idea where to even begin.

    There has never been a good Hollywood movie. I believe this because I am willfully ignorant about anything not made by Disney.
