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

Saajan is about as non-woke as it gets. It’s a classic romantic drama grounded in traditional values and untainted by modern identity obsessions. Expect heartfelt storytelling without a hint of ‘activist’ undertone.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Saajan focuses entirely on its love triangle and traditional melodrama, with zero emphasis on shoehorning modern identity politics. Characters are developed based on personality and emotional depth, not token checkboxes. Forced representation is non-existent, and the narrative stands firmly on classic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film celebrates family values, friendship, and sacrifice, hallmarks of traditional Indian cinema. Masculinity, romance, and religion are depicted respectfully and without any attempt to subvert or undermine foundational norms. If anything, it reinforces cultural traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Saajan presents its worldview without making a mockery of tradition or portraying dissenting perspectives as villainous. While it lacks overt ideological pluralism, that’s more a reflection of the time than an agenda. No signaling or vilification here.
