The thing is , you cannot generalize to the extent that you end up making highly bigoted statements like " Indians are regressive " , when you go as far as that , there is no excuse to cover up your blatant bigotry .. and making such statements bcoz a commercial candy floss film like DDD didnt perform to your expectations is even more absurd .. even while discussing more serious issues other than the disappointing box office performance of a commercial film , one needs to take care of the fact that one doesn't end up being a bigot in the process , or else what happens is , you call others regressive while claiming yourself to be progressive but end up being a regressive bigot yourself.. 😆.. tell you what , i too have talked about the audience demand for crappy khan films & films with good content becoming a success is always welcome .. the Indian audience appreciates good cinema with good content , it has been proven over & over again .. however , as far as cinema is concerned, entertainment is always the prime factor ( & thats not even restricted to India , its the same world over ) , the Khans star power is again a different matter , they are in their own league at the moment but then again the same star power & entertainment driven craze is found worldover .. whats so progressive about twilight saga , fifty shades of grey , mission impossible series, fast & the furious series etc etc - it all boils down to entertainment .. but if entertainment is well packaged with meaningful preaching & becomes a success then there is nothing like it ..it happens on rare occasions world over - PK is an example .. Piku too performed..
Preachy films rarely become blockbusters world over , check the list of highest grossing movies in world cinema , the ratio is seriously biased towards entertaining films & not preachy films .. i dont see how you can single out Indians like that unless you have a personal vendetta .. 😆

@ members who have watched DDD
I havnt seen the film yet , so plz enlighten whats so preachy/progressive/feminist about this supposedly candyfloss commercial film ?.. i did not get any preachy vibes from the trailer & songs - just a fun ride with rich dysfunctional Punjabi family on a cruise vacation ..😕 .. is it another PK , English Vinglish , Piku or something like that ? .. 😕
