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
