Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques systemic economic exploitation and the dehumanizing effects of extreme poverty on landless laborers, aligning with progressive ideology.
The movie features an entirely Indian cast, reflecting diversity within its cultural context. Its narrative strongly critiques oppressive social structures and powerful male figures responsible for exploitation and injustice, centering on the struggles of marginalized communities.
Secondary
