What We Think

Khiladi (1992) is about as non-woke as they come. Rooted in tradition, focused on plot, and blissfully free of modern ideological posturing, it delivers pure genre entertainment without the baggage we see in today’s Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Khiladi (1992) is a classic Bollywood suspense-thriller, focusing on plot twists, crime, and youthful recklessness, rather than any modern social ideology. Characters are motivated by personal choices and circumstance, not by forced identity markers. It’s a film where story comes first, imagine that.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no subversion of tradition here. Family, friendship, consequences, and even morality play central roles. Masculinity isn’t mocked; if anything, traditional roles are celebrated. The film doesn’t attempt to rewrite history or inject modern revisionism. It sticks to its roots, for better or worse.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

You won’t find ideological sermons, caricatures of traditional views, or mandatory groupthink in Khiladi. The film steers clear of debating progressive versus traditional ideals, it's old-school Bollywood entertainment focused on basic drama and thrills.
