Primary
Due to the complete absence of specific plot details or thematic information for 'Daku,' it is impossible to identify any explicit political messaging or dominant ideological themes, resulting in a neutral rating.
Based on a neutral assessment due to the absence of specific movie details, the film is evaluated as having no explicit DEI-driven casting or narrative framing that either critiques traditional identities or strongly promotes DEI themes. This results in a neutral overall evaluation.
Secondary

The narrative frames these aspects respectfully, aligning with traditional virtues and depicting Hinduism as a positive influence on characters' ethical conduct.
The film 'Daku' (1957), directed by Aspi Irani, does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes based on available plot summaries and historical context. Therefore, an evaluation of its portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements is not applicable.
