What We Think

Love Aaj Kal (2020) embraces contemporary attitudes and questions tradition, but doesn’t entirely abandon narrative depth. The film serves up a largely 'woke-lite' experience, focusing more on current cultural values than outright ideological messaging. Expect lots of modern themes, but not the most extreme example Hollywood, or Bollywood, has produced.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film shows some focus on modern identity issues, but mainly uses romance and character relationships as its core. While contemporary gender norms are discussed, the characters are not defined solely by their race, gender, or sexuality. Some moments feel heavy-handed, but overall the story isn’t dramatically disrupted by woke priorities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and values are questioned and sometimes gently subverted in favor of personal freedom. Masculinity is not belittled, but traditional roles are definitely re-examined. Religion and cultural heritage are present mostly in the background and not overtly mocked, though the focus is on modern attitudes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film leans heavily into modern views of love, gender, and independence, without much representation of traditional worldviews. Alternative perspectives are rarely given weight, with the modern, urban outlook holding center stage throughout.
