Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi...2000

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

Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is the antithesis of modern woke fare. Rooted in traditional values, it rarely sacrifices narrative for ideology, and there’s little interest in deconstructing cultural norms. Think of it as comfort food for the non-woke crowd.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s focus is traditional family drama with characters developed through personality and circumstances, not identity pressures. There is little evidence of forced representation or narrative sidetracking for ideology. It sticks to the merits (or melodrama) of the story itself.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This soap is practically a love letter to conservative Indian values: family, tradition, and religion are front and center. Gender roles are traditional, if sometimes melodramatic, and the show rarely questions existing societal frameworks, if anything, it reinforces them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s not much ideological diversity, but that’s simply because everyone adheres to traditional norms, not out of mockery of dissenters. The monoculture is old-fashioned rather than modern woke. Alternative worldviews are simply absent, not villainized.
