Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes patriotism, military honor, and the justification of individual action (even murder) when perceived as upholding traditional values and national interest, with the protagonist celebrated as a hero, leading to a Clearly Right rating.
The film features a cast appropriate for its Indian setting and origin, without explicit recasting of roles that would be considered traditionally white in a Western context. Its narrative primarily focuses on a crime thriller plot, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film 'Rustom' is based on the real-life Nanavati case. The character of Cynthia Pavri, based on the historical figure Sylvia Nanavati who was English, is portrayed by an Indian actress, Ileana D'Cruz, which constitutes a race swap.
The film "Rustom" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a naval officer accused of murder following his wife's infidelity, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Rustom" is based on the real-life K. M. Nanavati case. All major characters, including Rustom Pavri, Cynthia Pavri, and Vikram Makhija, maintain the same gender as their historical counterparts. No instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another were found.
