What We Think

'Gabbar Is Back' is essentially non-woke, more interested in justice and old-fashioned action than delivering any modern ideological sermon. It’s a straightforward, unapologetic vigilante story with zero interest in virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Gabbar Is Back' sticks to classic vigilante storytelling, focusing on corruption and justice, not on forced identity politics or token representation. The protagonist is defined by his actions and motivations, not checkboxes. Diversity is organic to the Indian setting and doesn’t overshadow the plot or characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, justice, masculinity, and community are portrayed with respect. There’s no attempt to mock or subvert these foundations. Instead, the film leans heavily on honor, sacrifice, and the fight against corruption, all while reinforcing positive cultural aspects.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The main ideological conflict centers on corruption, not social identity. While corruption is the singular villain, there’s no caricature of traditional views or attempts to present alternative perspectives as backward. It’s more about good versus evil than preaching modern ideological conformity.
