What We Think

‘Rafta Rafta’ sticks to slice-of-life comedy about marriage and family, mostly sidestepping the usual “woke” checkboxes. If you want a non-woke, lighthearted take on young Indian couples, this will be refreshingly traditional by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Rafta Rafta' focuses on the everyday ups and downs of a newlywed couple, and identity politics don’t seem to overwhelm the story. Character arcs are built mostly on relatable situations and organic humor, not on shoehorned ideological talking points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely respects Indian family values and relationship dynamics. While it playfully pokes at generational differences, it doesn’t undermine tradition or paint family and marriage as relics. Masculinity and femininity are presented in a lighthearted, balanced way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The main conflict is rooted in classic marital quirks rather than modern identity debates. There’s a clear appreciation for pluralism: each character is given room for growth, and traditional perspectives get more than a fair shake.
