Primary

The movie features an Indian cast, which provides visible diversity when viewed from a Western perspective, but does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative, while potentially exploring social issues related to marriage within its cultural context, does not explicitly critique traditional Western identities.

The narrative champions civil marriage as a progressive alternative, implicitly framing these religious institutions as problematic.
