What We Think

‘Madhuri Talkies’ is much more grounded in traditional storytelling, focusing on gritty crime and personal revenge without overt displays of current ideological priorities. It steers clear of the usual 'woke' checklist, instead diving headfirst into the murky waters of local corruption and justice. Refreshingly non-woke in execution.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

From what’s visible, 'Madhuri Talkies' focuses more on gritty storytelling, revenge, and crime in an Indian small-town setting. The emphasis is on personal motivation and local corruption, not on shoehorning identity-based messages or ticking diversity boxes for their own sake. The story is raw and character-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t appear to mock or subvert religions, families, or traditional masculinity. In fact, it often leans into local cultural realities and existing gender dynamics, albeit sometimes highlighting the darker sides. It neither glamorizes nor demonizes traditional structures outright.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those regarding violence, morality, and social order, are part of the narrative. The show doesn’t preach any specific modern ideological message and gives room for multiple viewpoints, even if through violent characters.
