What We Think

Surprisingly non-woke by today’s standards, 'Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu' focuses on narrative grit over lecturing. The show delivers classic underworld drama without diving into modern identity politics or rewriting cultural values. A rare, refreshing throwback.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers around a male anti-hero in the Mumbai underworld of the '80s and '90s, focusing more on gritty storytelling than box-ticking for identity categories. Characters are developed through actions and choices, not demographic traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family loyalty, masculinity, ambition, and underworld moral codes are core. There’s little to no effort to undermine Indian culture, gender norms, or religion, the show leans into them for atmosphere.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present and clash, given the criminal and moral conflicts. No one perspective dominates, and traditional characters aren’t simply strawmen or villains.
