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

Bebaakee is more old-school soap opera than woke think-piece. While it updates classic romance with a modern backdrop, it doesn’t go overboard on ideology, sticking mostly to drama and relationships. Not much for wokescolds to cheer or groan about.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Bebaakee primarily focuses on love triangles, friendship, and family drama, rather than centering the narrative around identity politics or ideological messaging. Characters are defined more by personal journeys and relationships, not by forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional Indian values around family, love, and even arranged relationships are present throughout. The show doesn’t critique or mock cultural foundations but rather embraces them, although there are some modern twists to familiar tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s a bit of urban glamor and modern relationship drama, but traditional perspectives are validated, and there’s no real effort to villainize or flatten alternative worldviews. The show offers some variety in approaches to love and family.
