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

Baasha is a prime example of classic, non-woke cinema. Its priorities are story, style, and heroism, with traditional cultural values held high. Modern ideological themes are nowhere to be found.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Baasha keeps its narrative squarely focused on character arcs, family loyalty, and the protagonist's journey. There's little emphasis on identity politics or forced representation, it's all about charisma, skill, and courage, as one expects from a classic masala entertainer.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually reinforces traditional values, family, honor, masculinity, and even community respect are front and center. Traditional gender roles are mostly intact and celebrated, not subverted. This is as non-woke as it gets by modern Hollywood standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is minimal ideological preaching here. While the film largely backs traditional values, it doesn't villify alternative perspectives so much as ignore them, typical for its genre and era.
