Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores the emotional complexities of a man taking a second wife due to his first wife's infertility. While depicting the pain involved, its narrative resolution ultimately reinforces traditional family structures and values of individual sacrifice for the sake of family harmony and progeny, rather than critiquing the underlying societal norms.
The movie features a cast that is diverse from a global perspective, consistent with its Indian origin, without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on romantic drama and does not critically portray traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Hindu cultural practices, rituals, and values as the inherent backdrop of the characters' lives. It depicts adherents engaging in these traditions with respect and dignity, framing the narrative's emotional and social conflicts within a traditional Hindu societal context without critique of the faith itself.
Souten is a traditional Hindi drama centered on a heterosexual love triangle. The film's narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no specific portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
