In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is about as low-woke as it gets for a modern romantic comedy. It keeps things light, sticks with timeless themes, and skips the identity politics. Now, if only more films would take a page out of this playbook.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes humor and romance over modern ideological messaging. Characters are developed through relatable flaws and comedic situations rather than identity-driven box-ticking. No sense of narrative being compromised for woke representation here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The story upholds traditional values like love, friendship, and family. Masculinity isn't pathologized, and religion/family play supportive or neutral roles. There's little attempt to re-write cultural norms or subvert gender roles in any blatant way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film largely avoids deep ideological commentary. There’s no push to villainize traditional perspectives, nor does it offer any heavy-handed lecturing or uniformity of worldview. The focus remains firmly on feel-good entertainment.
