Looked down upon, genre, radical film

Bollywood hasn't really moved to making films that have radical subjects. Do you think 'Paa' is that film?
A: 'I think our films are fantastic and I don't know why the word 'masala film' is looked down upon. I dare anyone to come and make a masala film here - it is very tough. I think our genre of films is unique and every week we come up with something good.
'I dont think 'Paa' is a radical film. At the heart of it, it is an emotional, sweet film. I don't look at it as radical just because our lead artiste has got a new look.'

Please explain to me the emboldened parts.

Also, I feel here "radical" film means "an unusual theme film".
And "genre" means "style of acting".
