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

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.

Watch RRR and we can talk :)

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.

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.

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

Im not sure if I have actually ever seen one.

Maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polite_Society_(film)? OK, it's not Indian but it's kind of equivalent with dances and stuff.
