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

Amar Akbar Anthony is about as non-woke as Bollywood gets: it’s a relic of a time before ideological filter-checking, with traditional values front and center, and diversity embraced for the sake of storytelling, not as an agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Amar Akbar Anthony tells its story with bold characters from different religions, but their backgrounds serve the story rather than box-ticking. Casting choices and character arcs are centered around entertainment, not ideological checklists or tokenism. There’s no obvious emphasis on identity over merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually celebrates India's religious diversity, family, and traditional masculinity. Religion, family, and morality are depicted positively, with no attempt to undermine them. Gender roles and cultural traditions aren’t subverted for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it presents an optimistic view of harmony across faiths, it does not mock traditional perspectives. Instead, alternative and traditional viewpoints are presented earnestly. No one-sided ideological preaching, just good old-fashioned masala filmmaking.
