What We Think

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is miles away from most modern 'woke' films. It actually tries to balance new ideas with cultural tradition, without pushing ideological conformity or sacrificing story for virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's characters are driven by romance and family dynamics rather than forced representation. The narrative focuses on believable relationship conflicts, and character traits like gender or background don't overshadow personality or skill. Diversity reflects the actual setting rather than ticking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film challenges some traditional roles (such as a strong-willed female lead), it mostly respects family, marriage, and cultural rituals central to Indian society. There's no overt mockery or subversion of religious or moral values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives (family expectations, personal independence, tradition vs. modernity) are all given room in the story. No side is villainized; both traditional and more modern viewpoints get a fair shake.
