Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Right

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film's resolution of a pervasive drug problem through a highly individualistic, extra-legal, and violent vigilante approach, rather than systemic or institutional solutions, aligns with a right-leaning emphasis on decisive action and individual responsibility.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting for its lead roles, aligning with conventional industry practices for a major action film. Its narrative focuses on action and revenge, without incorporating explicit DEI themes or offering critiques of traditional identities.

Secondary

LGBTQ: PositiveConfidence: High

The film "Vikram" offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through Agent Tina's depiction. Her same-sex relationship and family unit are treated with dignity and respect, becoming a core motivation for the protagonist's actions. The narrative normalizes queer identity without judgment, affirming the worth of LGBTQ+ lives and love.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film primarily focuses on male protagonists and antagonists in its action sequences. No significant female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film introduces new characters and continues the story of an existing male character without altering his gender. No established characters from prior canon are portrayed with a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Vikram (2022) is an original Indian film that introduces new characters and expands on an existing cinematic universe. It is not an adaptation of source material or a historical biopic where characters' races were previously established and subsequently changed. All characters are portrayed by actors consistent with their established or newly created racial identities.
