Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a quirky fantasy-adventure rooted in its regional flavor, focusing on character dynamics and original storytelling rather than identity-based representation. It seems more invested in entertainment than box-checking diversity or ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Indian themes, humor, and mythic elements are embraced rather than subverted. Masculinity, family, and folklore are part of the fun, not targets for critique. The movie thrives on celebrating cultural quirks, with no sign of revisionism or lecturing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no sign of ‘woke’ monoculture here; the film is too busy being eccentric and self-contained to deliver heavy-handed messaging. Characters don’t parrot modern ideological talking points, and alternative views aren’t villainized or mocked overtly.
