Why do Indian writers write like this????

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest film, Saawariya, raises the bar of the cinema aesthetic to dizzying heights. Using a predominantly blue palette leavened on rare occasions with greens and magentas, writer-director Bhansali and art directors Omung and Vanita Kumar Bhandula have created a surreal backdrop against which the director, aided by nuanced performances by raw yet surprisingly competent lead stars, uses magic realism, surrealism and other forms that haven't even been invented yet to tell a stirring story of love, hope, longing, loss and redemption...

It is almost like- A movie review has to be written in long and convoluted sentences. Else it is not a good movie review. I think Mr. Khalid Mohammed (Ex- TOI Film Critic) set this precedent in India. Nowadays, he writes for HT and has mellowed down a lot. But apparently, his chelas haven't.
