What We Think

"Garam Masala" is about as non-woke as it gets by modern standards, a harmless, silly comedy that’s more interested in laughs than in lectures or messaging. Safe for those avoiding Hollywood’s ideological flavor of the month.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Garam Masala" keeps its focus on slapstick humor and character antics without shoehorning modern identity politics. Characters are cast for comedic fit, and there’s no forced representation. The plot doesn’t give us flawless or ideologically driven heroes; everyone’s flawed for laughs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats traditional masculine and family dynamics with lighthearted parody rather than subversion. While it pokes fun at male foolishness, there’s no real agenda against tradition, masculinity, or family values. If anything, it leans into old-school comedic tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissenting views aren’t really the point in a goofy farce like this, but there’s no evidence of a one-sided modern ideology. It sticks to broad, old-fashioned humor without mocking traditional beliefs or pedaling any particular worldview.
