> Tumbbad is somewhat considered masterpiece of indian cinema.

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.

> kannad

Wince

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
