Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes of inter-religious harmony, secularism, and the critique of religious fundamentalism align with progressive values, even as it offers a broadly humanitarian solution to communal violence.
The film features casting authentic to its Indian setting, which naturally includes a non-white cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centrally explores themes of interfaith harmony and tolerance amidst communal conflict, promoting understanding across religious divides. However, it does not portray traditional male or heterosexual identities negatively, instead framing them neutrally or positively within the story.
Secondary
The film portrays Hinduism through characters who are loving and peaceful, while explicitly condemning the extremist elements who exploit the faith for violence. The narrative champions interfaith harmony and positions the audience to sympathize with victims of religious hatred.
The film portrays Islam through characters who are loving and peaceful, while explicitly condemning the extremist elements who exploit the faith for violence. The narrative champions interfaith harmony and positions the audience to sympathize with victims of religious hatred.
