Fight scenes were unrealistic earlier also but nowadays just too outlandish. It's the Rajnikanth effect. It's crass and Bollywood didn't deserve it. But people have begun to see it as comic relief rather than actual action. I've mostly laughed through all these South remakes! Never took them seriously or even paid attention like I did to films like Deewaar or Kalicharan (though those are not entirely realistic either).
