Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's focus on 'Civil Marriage' inherently explores themes of individual autonomy and secular legal frameworks, often in contrast to traditional or religious marital norms, thus aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.

The movie features an Indian cast, which provides visible diversity when viewed from a Western perspective, but does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative, while potentially exploring social issues related to marriage within its cultural context, does not explicitly critique traditional Western identities.

Secondary

The film critiques traditional Hindu marriage customs and societal norms, such as caste-based restrictions and opposition to inter-religious unions, portraying them as obstacles to individual freedom and happiness. The narrative champions civil marriage as a progressive alternative, implicitly framing these religious institutions as problematic.

The film critiques traditional Islamic marriage customs and community resistance to inter-religious unions, portraying them as restrictive. By advocating for civil marriage, the narrative frames these religious institutions as creating barriers to personal choice and social harmony.
