Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Traditional

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes conservative ideology by glorifying military heroism, duty, and sacrifice for national and ethnic pride in the face of an external threat, making it a clearly right-leaning narrative.

The film features an authentic cast reflecting the historical and cultural context of the Battle of Saragarhi, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven casting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative celebrates the bravery of Sikh soldiers, with a subtle acknowledgment of the colonial backdrop, but does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.

Secondary

The film portrays the Pashtun Orakzai tribesmen, who are Muslim, as the primary antagonists, driven by religious fervor and depicted as a large, aggressive, and ruthless force. While the focus is on conflict, the narrative does not offer significant counterbalancing positive portrayals or nuance regarding Islam itself.

The film is a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of Sikh soldiers, portraying their faith, courage, and adherence to their principles with profound respect and admiration. Their religious identity is central to their heroic actions and moral fortitude.

Kesari is a historical war film depicting the Battle of Saragarhi. The narrative focuses on the bravery of Sikh soldiers and their fight, with no discernible presence of LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline.

Kesari, a historical war drama, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on the Battle of Saragarhi and the valor of Sikh soldiers, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in its plot or character arcs.

The main female character, Jeevani Kaur, is portrayed in a supportive role and does not participate in any combat scenes. No female character is shown engaging in or winning physical fights against male opponents.

Kesari is a historical war film based on the Battle of Saragarhi, where all the combatants were historically male. The film portrays these historical figures, primarily the Sikh soldiers, as male, consistent with historical records. There are no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.

Kesari is a historical film based on the Battle of Saragarhi, depicting real Sikh soldiers. The main actors portraying these historical figures are of South Asian descent, consistent with the documented race of the characters, thus no race swap occurred.
