The narrative focuses on a romantic drama with elements of revenge and does not critically portray traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The title itself, 'Om Shanti Om,' is a sacred Hindu mantra, further affirming the film's positive integration of Hindu philosophical concepts without critique or satire.
