Padmaavat (2018)

The film explicitly promotes traditional values, cultural purity, and the ultimate sacrifice (Jauhar) to preserve honor against an external, 'othered' threat, which aligns with conservative ideology. Its narrative glorifies these acts as heroic, making it a clearly right-leaning film.

The film features a cast appropriate to its historical Indian setting, reflecting diversity within that cultural context without engaging in explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative largely presents traditional heroic portrayals of its protagonists and does not offer a critical perspective on traditional identities or explicitly center modern DEI themes.
