Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on traditional storytelling, centering the doomed romance of two young lovers without sidetracking into modern identity politics. Characters are developed based on their relationships and personalities rather than box-checking for diversity points. No evidence of forced representation or unrealistic characterization based on identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak stays rooted in Indian familial and cultural values, portraying family honor and generational conflict. Gender roles are conventional, and traditional morality is central to the storyline. There's little indication of subversion of traditional norms or revisionist takes on cultural heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents traditional perspectives sincerely, without caricature or demeaning dissent. It embraces pluralism inherent in interpersonal and family conflicts, rather than pushing a single ideology. Alternative viewpoints are portrayed through authentic character motivations, not as simple-minded villains.
