I'm not even angry. Imagine if they made proper films with actual storylines.

To them, this is a proper film with an actual story line. 

Indians eat this stuff up.  They'll watch this and say "Wow, this really is cool" and mean every word of it.

Well, that's partly true. the majority of indian movies are what they call "masala films":
Masala is a term given to films of Indian cinema that mix various genres in one film. Typically these films freely mix action, comedy, romance, and drama or melodrama.[sup][1][/sup] These films tend to be musicals that include songs filmed in picturesque locations. The genre is named after the masala, a term used to describe a mixture of spices in South Asian cuisine.[sup][color= rgb(6, 69, 173)][[/color]2[/sup][sup][color= rgb(6, 69, 173)]][/color][/sup]




There are some GREAT indian movies with solid storylines. The immediate ones that come to mind are Maqbool, Omkara, Ishqiya, and Parinda. They are all great movies with solid, engaging plots. 

I might be crazy enough to sit down and take in one of those 'serious' films that you listed.

But if I encounter any shenanigans, any at all, I am calling you out on it.
