Judwaa 22017

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'Judwaa 2' is about as far from woke as a modern Bollywood blockbuster gets. It’s pure 90s-style masala with no effort to fold in modern ideological messaging. Traditional gender roles, slapstick humor, and old-school values reign supreme.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Judwaa 2' sticks firmly to over-the-top mainstream Bollywood comedy, with no evidence of identity-driven narratives. Characters are cast for broad comedic appeal rather than to check ideological boxes. No sign of forced representation or identity politics overshadowing the plot here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film embraces traditional tropes: hyper-masculine leads, slapstick romance, and reliance on family values, with little to no critique of cultural foundations. It plays up traditional roles, perhaps excessively, but doesn’t subvert or mock core traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s minimal ideological messaging besides simple good-versus-bad comedy. No agenda-pushing or villainizing of dissenting views. If anything, it’s an unapologetic throwback rather than a soapbox for modern “woke” ideals.
