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.

Watch RRR and we can talk :)
Came to suggest this one, that movie was such a good time
Already did, my point stands. The action was stupid as hell. Again, it was overly long and overstayed its welcome. And it was so corny.
There’s no cure for bad taste. The idea that someone could watch that movie and hate it is literally sad. Holy shit.
It’s rare I see a truly unpopular opinion (and not just unpopular in nerdy Western online spaces). 👌
There has never been a good Hollywood movie. I believe this because I am willfully ignorant about anything not made by Disney.
Had to upvote anyone criticizing something that widely liked. Mind you, I don’t watch many myself because of language barriers and access.
But like others have said, I get what most of them try to do. And I do enjoy that kind of movie occasionally.
What I’m curious about is if it’s the Bollywood spectacle movies are all you’ve run into, or if the more serious and restrained ones are just that rare. I know they exist, despite not being able to understand them.
Edit: had to look the name up, but I once saw Article 15. Didn’t have subtitles or dubs, so I have no clue about the content, but it seemed to be a well crafted movie overall

I haven’t seen many Indian movies but I have seen one that destroys your premise. RRR. That movie is absolutely fantastic on a number of levels.
