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

Choona keeps its focus on good old-fashioned storytelling and playful satire. Woke sensibilities take a welcome backseat to plot and character hijinks, rarely does the show pause for moral grandstanding or modern ideological box-ticking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Choona mostly focuses on story, heist antics, and quirky character motivations rather than shoehorning in identity politics. The narrative isn't distracted by forced representation or tokenism, characters' personal backgrounds are presented as natural parts of the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't spend time lecturing viewers about tradition, gender roles, or religion. Instead, it leans into old-school Indian political and social dynamics without trying to overhaul or subvert the cultural atmosphere.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While Choona generally avoids heavy-handed moralizing, its humor pokes fun across the board, not just at traditional viewpoints. Most worldviews get honest representation or comedic treatment, not outright villainization or uniform messaging.
