What We Think

‘Singh Is Kinng’ is a non-woke, fun, traditional Bollywood movie with its heart on its sleeve, think laughs, songs, and action, not identity politics. It may be goofy, but it’s refreshingly free of modern ideological preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film largely prioritizes traditional comedy, romance, and over-the-top action rather than ticking the latest identity boxes. Character casting and development follow classic Bollywood masala models, with little focus on modern identity narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, tradition, masculinity, and Indian cultural values are central to the plot. The film celebrates familial bonds, Indian identity, and even includes light-hearted nods to Sikh heritage, without subverting traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no noticeable agenda to ridicule or villainize alternative viewpoints. The movie chooses crowd-pleasing, old-school storytelling and avoids the current trends of ideological uniformity or caricaturing tradition.
