Hinduism: Negative
Confidence: High

The film portrays the social practices and patriarchal structures prevalent in the rural setting, often justified by traditional, conservative interpretations of Hindu societal norms (e.g., honor killings, caste-based violence), as fundamentally oppressive and cruel. The narrative strongly condemns these practices and the characters who uphold them.
