I think I understand what you’re saying but it was a large spanning tale and though there may be some parts that are cringey I thought overall it kept my interest and had something for everyone.

I agree that RRR has its place. Like so many other Avenger style genre movies. The problem is that it just advances a stereotype and bias about what an American audience expects when they sit down to watch a Korean film, or a Chinese film, or an Indian film.

They are all just films, just like Hollywood makes different genres, these countries make films in every genre. At least the Indian film industry is a behemoth large enough to be able to make movies in every genre.

Should a movie largely intended for a domestic audience be responsible for not fitting into a foreign stereotype of the domestic movie industry, largely held by people who have seen literally zero movies made in India? If Americans want to decide that all movies produced in India are huge over the top ridiculous action-fests interspersed with dance sequences then that's their own problem.
