Overview
Bichwa (Khote) is the queen of a devout Untouchable community not permitted to enter the temple. Her daughter Lakha, the best dancer in the community, marries the prince of a rival community of atheists and is excommunicated by her own people. The devout group has their devotion tested by economic setbacks and a major conflict erupts between them and the atheists but god materialises on earth, thus solving the problems of belief and its attendant conflicts. Untouchability is abolished and they can all join together to worship in the temple. This transparent piece of religious propaganda saw Guru Dutt’s acting debut in the minor role of Lachman, Lakha’s brother.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The political bias of 'Lakhrani' cannot be assessed due to the complete absence of plot details, character arcs, or thematic information required for an objective evaluation.
The movie features an Indian cast, which inherently provides diversity from a global mainstream perspective. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
As a social drama from its era, the film critically examines societal issues, potentially portraying certain traditional or religious practices within Hinduism as contributing to oppression, hypocrisy, or foolishness, without significant narrative counterbalancing.
No information was provided about the film's content regarding LGBTQ+ characters or themes, preventing an evaluation of its portrayal. Therefore, the film is categorized as N/A.
Based on available plot summaries and character descriptions, the film 'Lakhrani' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, an evaluation of its portrayal of such elements is not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
No information is provided regarding the source material, historical basis, or prior adaptations of "Lakhrani" (1945). Without a baseline for character genders, it is impossible to determine if any gender swaps occurred.
There is no evidence to suggest that "Lakhrani" (1945) adapts characters from source material or history where their race was established as different from their on-screen portrayal. The film is an Indian production featuring Indian actors, consistent with its setting and origin.
