Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Table No. 21 sticks to its thriller roots with a tight narrative focused on suspense, moral choices, and psychological games. Character diversity or identity politics do not override story or character depth. Themes revolve around consequences and personal responsibility, without forced representation or unrealistic idealization.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't mock traditional culture, religion, or family. Instead, it explores morality through the frame of actions and repercussions, which aligns with classic storytelling principles. There’s no evident attempt to rewrite history or undermine traditional societal values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie presents a moral dilemma but doesn't bash tradition or promote a single ideology. While it lacks overt pluralism, traditional and modern perspectives are both present in the characters' actions and choices.
