What We Think

If anything, Main Tera Hero is a blast from a pre-woke past. It leans heavily into Bollywood formula without tripping over any modern ideological landmines. Pretty much as non-woke as they come these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays firmly in the camp of old-school Bollywood masala. Character traits are driven by personality and story beats, not by diversity checklists. The focus is on slapstick humor, romance, and outrageous scenarios without shoehorning ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Main Tera Hero embraces traditional tropes – family, romantic rivalry, and playful masculinity all get plenty of screen time. There’s no attempt to undermine or rewrite established cultural norms, and the humor relies on familiar setups.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional views aren’t mocked or painted as villainous. It’s standard Bollywood fare where the story is front and center, not ideological point-scoring. Any moral assumptions simply reflect mainstream movie conventions.
