Singh Is Bliing2015

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

Singh Is Bliing is about as non-woke as they come, a lighthearted, chaotic celebration of tradition that’s more interested in slapstick than social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Singh Is Bliing sticks closely to the usual Bollywood masala formula: traditional hero, over-the-top comedy, and romance. There is some surface-level modernization, but identity politics are clearly not prioritized over fun or narrative arcs. Representation feels organic rather than shoehorned.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film celebrates Punjabi culture, family values, and religion, often to the point of caricature. Masculine traits are played for laughs but largely affirmed. No attempt at overturning tradition here, if anything, it leans into the old-school tropes with gusto.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t really the film’s focus, but traditional values and cultural pride are given center stage. Modern Western ideologies are almost entirely absent. The movie cheekily pokes fun at everyone rather than villainizing any group or viewpoint.
