What We Think

Kannur Squad remains refreshingly non-woke, prioritizing authentic storytelling and character over identity-driven messaging. Traditional values and personal merit take center stage, making it a rare example of cinema focused on realism rather than ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kannur Squad sticks to a grounded and realistic police procedural story rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are developed based on merit, professionalism, and personal flaws, with far more focus on their investigative skills than on promoting any ideological message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays family dynamics, camaraderie, and a respect for the law. Collaborations and conflicts reflect traditional values, without mocking or undermining masculinity, religion, or local culture. It doesn’t indulge in rewriting cultural foundations or reversing gender roles for the sake of relevance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Kannur Squad allows for shades of gray among characters and does not villainize traditional perspectives. Alternative viewpoints arise through personal struggles and the intricacies of police work rather than as caricatures. There’s little evidence of pure ideological uniformity in moral or social outlooks.
