What We Think

In our view, 'PM Narendra Modi' is about as non-woke as a modern biopic gets, leaning hard into traditional storytelling, patriotism, and reverence for its subject. Hardly an ounce of forced representation or ideological uniformity of the progressive sort here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film appears to prioritize a traditional, merit-based narrative, focusing on an individual's journey and personal qualities. Forced representation or emphasis on identity factors over character growth is not prominent. Personality and leadership are the main arcs here, not boxed-in identity categories.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

PM Narendra Modi leans heavily into themes of family, religion, nation, and traditional masculine leadership. It arguably upholds rather than subverts cultural values, presenting its subject in a highly affirming, near-idealized light.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film presents a consistent, traditional worldview, with little room for pluralistic debate or sympathetic alternatives. However, rather than woke ideology, it's more an example of a celebratory biography. Villainization of alternatives is minimal but dissenting perspectives are rare.
