Early Indian cinema, including films by Master Vinayak, often explored themes rooted in Hindu mythology, devotion, or social reform within a Hindu societal context. Even when critiquing social ills, the narrative typically aimed to reform or uphold the true spiritual values of the faith, rather than condemn Hinduism itself.
