Indians can never appreciate good movies, its one of the reasons why a bollywood movie has never won an Oscar or anything like that despite being over a 100 years old. Most bollywood movies are cheesy comedies.

Punjabis really are not different to other Indians when it comes to taste! 

I don't know what it is about melodrama that pushes Indian buttons.

Indians don't understand subtlety. You have to understand that the vast majority of Indians are stupid. The average IQ is 82.

Everything has to be spelled out to them in a movie.

You certainly don't sugar-coat things.

In their defense, the younger generation in the large urban centres are a lot better in that regard. They actually seem to be developing a self-deprecating sense of humour, which is interesting. Our Punjabis are still a little behind in that sense.

What we are essentially missing is the fact that Bollywood and Indian TV is created for the masses who consist of low income daily wagers who want to escape their daily realities hence why the over the top sequences and repeated images to make a point. The writers of these serials and movies tend to be males and have no understanding of female perspectives. This is why probably every Bollywood movie has a rape scene and the female characters are portrayed as in the first instance hating the hero and then when he pays some ruffians to fake an attack or rape attempt against the female and he rescues her, she falls instantly in love with him! Can you imagine how traumatised a female would be from such an attack and in the real life would need counselling but in Bollywood Bullshyt land she's happily singing and dancing a few seconds later!

A couple months back I was at a grocery store in Delhi. The guy at the counter seemed to be a bhaiiya but was trying to speak Punjabi with me since I'm visibly a Sikh. He wasn't too bad at it but you could clearly guess that Punjabi was not his mother tongue. I was responding to him in Punjabi as well. Meanwhile, some auntie in her 40s who was clearly not Sikh (could be Hindu) was overhearing and interrupted him and said why are you speaking Punjabi when you can't. The guy was in his own zone and didn't care for the lady lol. I could feel the hidden contempt in her voice towards the Punjabi language. I'm pretty sure the guy had just watched some Punjabi movie or had been listening to Punjabi songs.

Punjabi films have increased in popularity in recent years and it could be correlated in that Bollywood films do not seem to be as popular. 

So much so that the HP Khatris that run Bollywood and predominantly act in Bollywood have 'discovered ' their Punjabi roots. 

It may not be a bad thing because what you are seeing is soft power.

It seems that Punjabi may have some cultural influence on others.
