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

Vivah is a bastion of traditional storytelling, eschewing all the usual woke trappings. It upholds cultural foundations and narrative integrity with an almost nostalgic sincerity. For those tired of Hollywood’s ideological experiments, this one’s pure comfort food.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Vivah is about as non-woke as it gets: the characters are written according to traditional values, with an emphasis on family and virtue. There’s no shoehorned representation or identity politics, just a straightforward romantic drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The entire film is a love letter to Indian family values, commitment, and traditional roles. Religion, marriage, and family are shown as positive, stabilizing forces throughout. Masculinity and femininity are both respected in clearly defined roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film certainly doesn't spotlight alternative worldviews, it doesn’t mock or villainize them either. Instead, it simply doesn’t address modern ideological debates at all, sticking with a consistent, traditionally rooted perspective.
