"Waar" sticks closely to a traditional action-thriller formula, emphasizing national security themes and character competence without obvious focus on identity politics. Characters are generally defined by their actions and motives, not so much by race, gender, or other identity factors. Forced representation or hyper-competence for diverse characters is not a noticeable feature.

The portrayal of family, patriotism, and sacrifice remain central and are generally upheld as positive. Masculinity is presented traditionally, and cultural values are not undermined. There’s little if any effort to subvert local religion, family ties, or traditional morality. The film largely works within accepted cultural paradigms.

Alternative viewpoints are present, though there’s a clear ‘good versus bad’ dynamic, notably rooted in national security and patriotism. While not a festival of pluralism, traditional and non-woke views dominate. Dissenting perspectives are mostly portrayed through clear antagonists, though this is standard for the genre.
