Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly champions vigilante justice, administered according to ancient religious scriptures, as the necessary solution to societal corruption and apathy, thereby promoting a traditionalist and punitive approach to moral order.
The film features a traditional Indian cast, consistent with its cultural setting, and does not involve race or gender swaps of roles typically associated with Western cinema. Its narrative focuses on themes of social justice and civic responsibility within Indian society, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes related to race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Secondary
The film extensively uses Hindu scriptures (Garuda Purana) and concepts like Dharma and Karma as the moral foundation for its vigilante protagonist. While the protagonist's methods are extreme due to his mental illness, the narrative affirms the underlying principles of righteous conduct and the consequences of sin, positioning Hinduism as a valid moral framework.
The film 'Anniyan' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story centers on a protagonist's psychological journey and societal critique, without engaging with queer identities or experiences, resulting in no depiction.
The film 'Anniyan' does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its storyline. The narrative centers on a protagonist's psychological disorder and his fight against societal corruption, without engaging with gender identity issues.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents. The primary female character, Nandini, is not depicted in any action sequences of this nature.
Anniyan is an original film with no prior source material or historical basis for its characters. All characters were created for this specific movie, thus there are no instances of a character established in prior canon being portrayed with a different gender.
Anniyan is an original film from 2005, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Its characters do not have a canonical or historical race established prior to this film's creation, thus precluding any race swap.
