What We Think

Despite being modern and socially aware, 'Bhavesh Joshi Superhero' remains focused on its themes of justice and corruption without veering into overtly woke territory. The film avoids the common pitfalls of ideological monoculture, delivering an earnest, if at times heavy-handed, hero narrative.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film largely sticks to its story about corruption and vigilantism without shoehorning in forced representation. Characters are chosen for their narrative relevance, and identity politics don’t appear to override plot or personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like friendship, family, and personal responsibility are present. The film doesn’t go out of its way to mock or undermine masculinity or Indian culture, though it does challenge institutional authority, which is common in vigilante stories.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it critiques government corruption, the film offers some nuance by reminding viewers about the costs of vigilantism. It doesn’t entirely villainize tradition or embrace only a single worldview, and some debate between characters does occur.
