What We Think

Sura is about as non-woke as it gets. The film doubles down on old-fashioned heroics, maintains cultural respect, and avoids trendy ideological lecturing. Traditional cinema fans can rest easy, this one isn’t chasing Hollywood’s latest fads.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In Sura, the focus remains on a traditional hero’s journey, rooted in action, romance, and local conflict. There is little to no indication of identity-driven casting or ideological messaging trampling the plot. The main characters earn their narrative place by role and skill, not identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Sura leans into classic, family-centric values, celebrates local tradition, and never seems to mock or dismantle religion, masculinity, or moral norms. If anything, it glorifies them. There’s nothing ‘subversive’ about the film’s take on culture or gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t really a focus, nor are they mocked or villainized. There’s no sign of heavy-handed messaging and the ideological landscape stays pretty neutral, mainly sticking to good-versus-evil in the old-school Indian cinema fashion.
