From what we can tell, "Naga" focuses on suspense and survival, centering its plot on character actions and dilemmas rather than ticking diversity checkboxes. Casting appears organic to the setting, and character choices are motivated by the story rather than overt social messaging. This is a refreshing break from the usual modern formula.

The film seems to respect its cultural and religious backdrop, drawing on Saudi social realities without mocking or rewriting tradition for cheap points. If anything, it offers viewers a rare window into traditions and gender dynamics without Frankenstein-ing them into modern ideological messages. So far, it feels non-woke and surprisingly genuine.

There doesn't seem to be a heavy-handed promotion of a singular worldview in "Naga." Instead, the film presents a range of social dynamics and leaves judgment mostly to the viewer. No cartoonish villains promoting tradition or ridiculous over-the-top progressivism in sight, a welcome reprieve from what we usually get from Hollywood.
