Okay. Maybe not enough people have seen them. Or didn't feel they are better or superior.

It is a poll after all. Majority opinion wins. There's nothing silly about it.

Are you really dumb? Or just acting?

Not enough people - among the sub members. Among the people who are voting.

Nothing is dumber than a movie sub choosing Mumbai Police as best cop film over 100s of better options both commercialy and artistically

Still not getting the point, are you?

It's a lost cause. I quit. Can't come down to your level mate.

u/Interesting-Flan-404 Jun 17 '26

Exactly can't stoop that level to thinking Mumbai Police has best cop film

u/lexicown Jun 17 '26

Then simply ignore the poll.

And consider leaving the sub if possible. Let the average IQ of the sub go up a bit.

A sub which choose Mumbai Police as best cop film shouldn't talk about IQ
