Primary

The film features traditional casting for its Indian context, without explicit race or gender swaps of roles as defined by Western DEI frameworks. However, its narrative strongly engages with and critiques traditional caste identities and societal prejudices, making the overcoming of caste discrimination a central and explicit theme.
Secondary
