In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Pokkiri is about as non-woke as they come: it tells its story without shoehorning in identity politics, subverting traditions, or pushing any modern ideological bandwagon. A textbook example of straightforward, old-school entertainment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pokkiri is a straightforward action flick with characters chosen for their fit in the story, not their identity checkboxes. There's little sign of forced identity politics, and the focus is mainly on plot, action, and traditional hero dynamics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie generally upholds traditional values, family, masculinity, and morality are all presented in familiar ways. Male and female leads stick to conventional roles, and traditional cultural themes are reinforced rather than subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological monoculture, different moral viewpoints are depicted, and villainy comes from criminal behavior, not political dissent. Traditional perspectives aren’t mocked or caricatured; they're simply the default, as they were in most films of the era.
