The effects sequences I saw in the video clip didn't look over the top...

Besides what's wrong with a little ridiculousness? Some of the special FX I've seen in memes of indian movies look like they take a decent amount of imagination to visualize

Note that I have not seen any indian cinema, no idea where to start with that, other than to say that the Bollywood format (and musicals in general) has little appeal to me...

Bollywood movies aren't really musicals. The way I would put it is that musicals are a genre, and Bollywood movies are all sorts of genres with songs interspersed. So you could literally edit out (or more practically, forward through) all the songs and fully watch the movie which is not really possible with musicals
