Leans Progressive
Primary
The film critiques the elitist and corrupt education system that disadvantages the poor, advocating for social justice, genuine access to quality education, and the importance of public schooling over superficial status, aligning with left-leaning themes of systemic critique and social equality.
The movie features a cast that is diverse from a global perspective, consistent with its Indian setting, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven casting swaps. Its narrative critiques societal class structures and the education system, but does not negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
Hindi Medium does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story is entirely centered on a heterosexual couple and their efforts to navigate the Indian education system, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
