This is absolutely true for my family at least. We're not poor by any standards, but everyone in India has poor relations or has seen what true poverty is like. If you've seen the horror of true poverty on a daily basis, there's no desire to see it thrown back at you for 3hrs of your leisure time.

No one would have paid money to watch a movie about suffragettes or civil rights in the 70s. And no one would have sat through Saving Private Ryan in the 40s.

Not true. I'm not white at all, and I've always been treated with effusive kindness whenever I visit.

War movies that glorified war. Dramatic love stories and tales of bravery and triumph- not exactly hardcore realism like The Hurt Locker or Zero Dark Thirty

Nope 😉
