What We Think

Dhuwan is about as non-woke as television gets these days, sticking to classic themes and competent storytelling, with minimal modern ideological interference. This is good old-fashioned TV, unburdened by identity politics or narrative engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dhuwan focuses on solid storytelling, genuine character growth, and plausible motivations, rather than box-ticking on diversity or identity politics. Characters are multidimensional, and casting choices appear to be based on talent and realism within the Pakistani context, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show maintains strong respect for traditional values, highlighting themes like friendship, honesty, masculinity, and duty. There’s no apparent push to undermine religion or family; instead, traditional notions of sacrifice and responsibility are celebrated throughout the narrative.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dhuwan presents its worldview authentically, occasionally idealizing law enforcement and communal effort, but does not villainize dissenting voices or mock alternative perspectives. The era and setting limit ideological variety but avoid the caricatures common in more recent works.
