By whom? Don't get me wrong, Tumbbad is an excellent movie but masterpiece is over selling it. And the low budget for VFX really shows.

I'm curious what the wince is for - do Kannada-language films have a reputation?

The language is called Kannada. Schwa deletion turns it into Kannad which sounds grating and seeing it written without the a is even worse.

I'll just say Sturgeon's law applies.

probably for “Kannad” instead of Kannada
and if KGF 2 is any indication, they should stop making movies altogether

Yup. It's inconsequential but I find it very grating.

I absolutely hated KGF 1 and didn't bother with the sequel. I honestly don't understand why people compare it to RRR.

Reportedly the Bollywood movies are worse and they would rather watch KGF
Tumbbad is somewhat considered masterpiece of indian cinema. It was made with just 700 thousand $ https://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews....
>Pretty much every Indian movie I've seen is full of amazing and fun nonsense in one form or another.
They are the most popular genre. Production houses love them as they make them money and viewers also love to watch them as they can be watched by whole families.
>Not that I've seen more than 10 or 15 Indian movies, just curious what the mix is of serious drama vs, break into dance and or show crazy stunt movies is
Most of indian cinema is action genre with slice of life twist. There are also good serious movies with genres like drama, romcom, comedy, horror, history, sci-fi etc.
You must also know that Indian cinema is not a monolith like hollywood. There are 7 big 'woods' in india branched due to various languages. There is hindi wood (bollywood), tamil, telugu, kannad, marathi, bengali etc. Each have their own tasted with respective viewers. Over the counter action movies (like RRR) are most popular in south industries and viewers.
