Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Raees’s story centers on a traditional masculine anti-hero with a defined arc rooted in local culture, and does not appear to sacrifice narrative for modern ideological points. The film focuses on interpersonal dynamics and crime drama rather than overt identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it questions entrenched corruption and morality within its setting, Raees largely respects religious, cultural, and familial structures rather than aiming to subvert them for the sake of an ideology. It maintains a classic 'rise and fall' morality tale.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Raees doesn’t demonize traditional values or present only one worldview, characters express multiple perspectives, and there’s genuine moral conflict. The film doesn’t push a singular ideological narrative.
