Most of the points he is making are pretty much many of us will agree. As a student of world cinema, he is sharing his opinion on the taste of Indian cinema going audience compared to other parts of the world. It is no news for anyone that Indian audience's taste is regressive and patriarchal. He also included his disdain for mindless action along with taking a dig at six packs and I think that is not sitting well with people. 😆
At any rate, he is expressing his disappointment at the irrelevance of a certain kind of cinema and hoping for a faster change. He could have been more diplomatic by not taking a dig at others but it is just his instagram post.
The defense on forum is funny to see though. Hundreds of threads on Kabir Singh and how it is scientifically misogynist and hence concluding how Indian audience is all misogynist to now movies are for entertainment.
I agree movies are for entertainment but you can still have a strong opinion on some of them and express them. There is no compulsion for everything that is popular to be respected by everyone.
