What We Think

Mardaani 2 puts its messaging front and center, think strong female cop vs. monstrous male villain, with little subtlety. It’s a decent thriller but wraps its plot tightly around a modern ideological core, leaving little room for alternative views or traditional nuance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film puts strong emphasis on the female lead’s strength and competence, occasionally to the point where her flaws feel minimal and the suspense sometimes suffers. However, the story is grounded in a thriller format, and the villain is given a credible menace. Identity factors are highlighted but not so aggressively as to derail the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are constantly challenged, with the female protagonist portrayed as unwaveringly heroic and the male antagonist embodying unchecked misogyny. The film can be seen as elevating modern gender narratives over more balanced, nuanced depictions, but it does not aggressively attack family or religious values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The narrative does zero in on one particular ideological message, female empowerment, without much space for opposing or traditional perspectives. Dissenting views are depicted only as regressive or villainous, lending the film a fairly uniform worldview throughout.
