What We Think

Andhadhun is refreshingly non-woke, prioritizing plot and complex characters over ideological messaging. This movie recalls a time when storytelling trumped social sermonizing, and it’s all the better for it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Andhadhun keeps its narrative tightly focused on suspense, wit, and character depth rather than shoehorning in modern ideological themes or token representation. Characters are formed by motivations and plot needs, not identity checklists, so story integrity remains strong.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and morality are presented with nuance, and the plot doesn't undermine or ridicule masculinity, religion, or Indian culture. Instead, it explores human nature without ideological baggage typical of modern Western cinema.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no push to villainize traditional perspectives or create an echo chamber of modern ideology. Instead, a variety of viewpoints and moral ambiguities add to the film's texture, steering clear of any preachy monoculture.
