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

A truly non-woke classic, 'Vikram Aur Betaal' serves up unapologetically traditional tales with moral lessons, zero virtue signaling, and full respect for India’s cultural foundations. If only more modern TV could take a page from this playbook.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Vikram Aur Betaal' remains focused on classical storytelling and characters rooted in Indian folklore. There’s no sign of forced representation or prioritizing character identity over personality and role. The stories stick to the source material, emphasizing traditional virtues and wisdom rather than checking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show deeply respects religious, cultural, and moral traditions. Masculinity, family values, and spirituality are presented as admirable; gender roles and historical context are maintained without subversion or mockery. It’s practically a masterclass in non-woke storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show firmly reflects the moral framework of its era and origin, it avoids ridiculing or caricaturing dissent. The alternate viewpoints stem from lore and epic dilemmas, inviting pluralism rather than enforcing modern ideological uniformity.
