Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter, focusing on ego-driven conflicts and their amplification through social media, is largely apolitical, and its narrative explores universal human behaviors without advocating for a specific ideological solution.
The movie features an authentic Indian cast appropriate to its cultural setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores the complexities and flaws of its male protagonists but does not explicitly critique traditional identities from a DEI perspective.
Secondary
The film is set within a predominantly Muslim community, with many main characters identifying as Muslim. While the narrative focuses on their impulsive actions and interpersonal conflicts, it portrays their cultural and social environment, including aspects of Muslim weddings and community life, without judgment or caricature. The film avoids linking the characters' flaws to their faith, instead presenting their religious identity as a nuanced and respectful part of their everyday lives, thereby affirming the dignity of its adherents.
Thallumaala does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on action, relationships, and social media culture, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences. Therefore, the film has no net impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals.
The film primarily focuses on male characters engaging in numerous stylized physical combat sequences. While female characters are present in the narrative, none are depicted participating in or winning direct physical confrontations against male opponents.
Thallumaala is an original film, not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot of pre-existing characters. All characters are new creations for this specific movie, thus there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a prior established canon or historical record.
Thallumaala is an original film with no pre-existing source material, prior installments, or historical figures. All characters were created for this specific movie, thus precluding any race swaps as defined.
