Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its championing of female self-determination and the subversion of patriarchal control, where the protagonist embraces her full identity and chooses her own path rather than conforming to societal expectations.
The film features a cast that is diverse within its Indian cultural context, consistent with Bollywood productions, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles traditionally associated with other demographics. Its narrative subtly explores themes of female agency and societal norms within its specific setting, but it does not present a strong, explicit critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film satirizes specific folk Hindu superstitions and rituals, particularly those related to exorcism and dealing with female spirits like the chudail. It portrays the characters' adherence to these beliefs as misguided and often comedic, highlighting their ineffectiveness and the absurdity of their attempts to control the supernatural entity. The narrative does not offer a significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of these specific practices.
The film "Roohi" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and a supernatural horror-comedy plot, with no elements suggesting queer identity or experiences.
Roohi does not feature identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative's supernatural elements, such as a male spirit possessing a female body, are distinct from and do not represent transsexual identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Roohi is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender could have been altered for this portrayal.
Roohi is an original Indian horror-comedy film from 2021. Its characters were created for this specific movie and do not have prior canonical or historical racial establishments from source material or previous installments. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
