What We Think

‘Sherni’ is certainly on the woke-leaning side, making gender and social commentary central to its story and worldview. Though competently made, it’s clear the film’s priorities are in showcasing modern ideological themes over balanced storytelling or cultural tradition.

Woke

What is this?

The film puts a strong emphasis on the protagonist’s identity as a female forest officer facing patriarchal systems, and at times this focus overshadows natural character development or narrative subtlety. However, it does retain some plot integrity and credible tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘Sherni’ repeatedly brings up traditional gender roles and critiques them, showing institutional masculinity as an obstacle. It’s clear that the film wants viewers to question longstanding norms, and pushes modern ideologies over tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film largely frames traditional mindsets as backward and problematic, rarely providing any real nuance to alternative viewpoints. Most ‘traditional’ voices are obstacles to progress, not serious perspectives deserving debate.
