This man is a whole-ass billionaire with his own studio. There is literally no reason for his films to be as bad and cheap-looking as they are when Dhar Mann has better-looking sets. You know you messed up when Dhar Mann doesn’t even have half the money Tyler has. This man came from poverty and is now a billionaire—he owes the Black community better films, and they should want better-quality films from him too.

    You are not the target audience.

    Many years ago, I attended a Google workshop in Senegal, and I pointed out that Nigerian movies were not the best, and they were mass producing a ton of crappy movies. So, a producer explained that I was not the intended target audience, and there are people who pay to watch those movies, because they can identify with the story.

    Tyler Perry belongs to that school of thought. It is how he became a billionaire in the first place. He knows his target audience and what they are into. And the distributors who carry them know that they will sell. Bollywood follows the same principle.
