Center
Primary
Saawariya is a highly stylized romantic drama focused on themes of unrequited love, longing, and artistic expression. Its narrative is deeply personal and emotional, lacking any explicit political messaging or engagement with societal issues, thus placing it squarely in the neutral category.
The movie features a cast that is diverse within its specific cultural context, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles traditionally associated with other demographics. Its narrative focuses on romantic themes and emotional storytelling, presenting traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film adapts Dostoevsky's 'White Nights,' which features implicitly white/European characters in Russia. Saawariya portrays these characters as Indian, with an entirely Indian cast, constituting a race swap from the source material.
Saawariya is a romantic drama that does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on heterosexual relationships and traditional romantic tropes, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's storyline.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Saawariya" is loosely based on Dostoevsky's "White Nights." All major characters adapted from the source material maintain their original genders in the film's portrayal.
