Mine is a bit niche. Male anti hero protagonist revenge movies. Usually takes place in england. Always has a heavy criminal element, a good bit of violence and the lead usually dies in the end. Recent favorites include “Bull” “Avengment” and “Villan”. Not sure if this specific type of movie is a genre or not but there’s plenty of them.

    India has the “masala” genre, a blend of multiple genres; basically what comes to the mind of the average person when they think about Indian movies. I don’t think they create “pleasure” for anybody. They mainly exist, because it’s a low-efforts template for Indian producers to target the masses.

    However once you get used to this genre and accept that there will be a few toilet breaks and tiresome tropes, you unlock the gate to some movies that are otherwise fantastic. It’s quite similar to starting to watch pro wrestling or shōnen anime.
