It's about expectations. I'm fine with violence in a film clearly marked as such, but casual random violence in a "realistic" movie without an inherently violent premise is jarring and inexplicable.
Almost every everyday situation in this movie seems to lead to physical violence. Within the first few minutes - a man asks his boss for time off and gets verbally abused, a man asks the principal of the school to apologise and gets abused and physically beaten up, a man brutally beats up the manager at an auto shop because he lost a pair of sunglasses, a man goes to the police station to file an FIR and gets abused and physically beaten up. I really couldn't watch any more.
It's all rather bizarre. It's as if the target audience thinks that reacting to everything with violence is normal and entertaining.
