Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's left-leaning rating is primarily due to its central focus on educational inequality and the systemic prejudice faced by marginalized students and a teacher with a disability, advocating for empathy and inclusion within the education system.
The movie features a diverse cast reflecting its Indian setting, including a protagonist with a disability and students from varied socio-economic backgrounds. Its narrative champions overcoming adversity and critiques societal prejudices and educational system rigidities, rather than focusing on traditional identity critiques.
Secondary
The film "Hichki" is an adaptation of Brad Cohen's autobiography "Front of the Class," where the real-life protagonist and author is male. In the film, the central character, Naina Mathur, is portrayed as female, which constitutes a gender swap.
Hichki is an adaptation of the American film "Front of the Class," which is based on the real-life story of Brad Cohen, a white American man. In Hichki, the protagonist is reimagined as Naina Mathur, an Indian woman, constituting a race swap for the central character.
The film "Hichki" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the protagonist's journey as a teacher with Tourette Syndrome and her efforts to educate a challenging group of students, without any mention or depiction of queer identities or issues.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
