Bheed places strong emphasis on highlighting social divisions and identity-based struggles during India's COVID lockdown. In our view, several character arcs and plot points seem built around making statements on caste and communal identity, often at the expense of nuanced character development or organic plot progression. This can be seen as prioritizing ideology over narrative cohesion.

Traditional hierarchies (family, caste, religion) are often depicted as root causes of injustice or backwardness, with limited exploration of nuance. Masculinity and established institutions are portrayed as complicit or inept, reinforcing modern critical perspectives while subverting more traditional representations.

Dissenting voices or alternative cultural perspectives are usually villainized, marginalized, or not given a fair platform. The film’s worldview leans heavily towards a singular ideological stance, with little debate or plurality. Traditional values are almost always positioned as problematic.
