Leans Left
Primary
The film's central narrative champions individual freedom and same-sex love as a path to liberation from patriarchal and societal constraints, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The movie features a diverse cast reflective of Indian cinema, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative subtly critiques patriarchal norms and male dominance by empowering its female characters, and it includes a nuanced, indirect exploration of non-heteronormative relationships.
Secondary
