Deewaar stands as a textbook example of non-woke filmmaking. It respects narrative integrity and cultural traditions, putting story first and ideological agendas in the far background. If only current cinema took notes from this classic.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deewaar focuses on strong character development grounded in family, honor, and personal struggle. The cast and story choices reflect realism and serve the plot, rather than ticking diversity boxes or emphasizing identity politics. Narrative is driven by personality and consequence over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, sacrifice, masculinity, and morality are at the heart of the story. While there’s moral complexity, there’s no attempt to undermine or modernize cultural or religious traditions, if anything, these themes are celebrated through the characters’ arcs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents nuanced characters and conflicting worldviews, particularly between the brothers. There’s no sense of ideological groupthink; instead, contrasting values and perspectives are treated with sincerity, not mockery or villainization. Debate and internal conflict drive the drama.
