It champions individual defiance and implicitly advocates for human dignity and equality against traditional, discriminatory practices, aligning with a clearly left-leaning perspective.
Sairat features a cast appropriate to its Indian setting, reflecting local diversity without engaging in race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative, however, strongly critiques traditional societal structures, particularly the caste system and patriarchal norms, portraying figures upholding these traditions negatively.
Secondary

The narrative strongly condemns the honor killing and social prejudice stemming from these caste-based beliefs, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victims.
