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

Article 15 serves a clear ideological agenda and offers few counter-narratives, earning it a high score for woke content by these criteria. Anyone seeking a more balanced portrayal of India’s complexities may find it lacking in nuance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Article 15 strongly foregrounds issues of caste, identity, and social justice, sometimes prioritizing these themes over nuanced character development or organic storytelling. The protagonist’s arc seems largely constructed to highlight systemic problems rather than personal growth, leading to a sense that ideology is steering the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film consistently critiques long-standing social and cultural structures, especially caste hierarchy, religion, and traditional community bonds. Some viewers may interpret this as undermining established cultural foundations and presenting them as wholly corrupt or regressive with limited nuance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional views are largely portrayed through unsympathetic or villainous characters, while dissenting voices receive little sincere exploration. There's minimal representation of internal debate or pluralism, resulting in a largely one-dimensional ideological perspective.
