Progressive
Primary
The film critiques systemic class disparity and the lack of opportunity, championing the empowerment of marginalized voices through individual talent and artistic expression, which aligns with progressive values of social justice.
The movie features an authentic cast reflecting the diverse socio-economic and religious landscape of its Mumbai setting, focusing on marginalized communities. Its narrative strongly critiques patriarchal structures and class disparities, portraying traditional male figures negatively and highlighting the systemic challenges faced by individuals from impoverished backgrounds.
Secondary
The film portrays its Muslim characters, particularly the protagonist Murad and his mother, with depth, sympathy, and respect. While Murad's father exhibits negative traits, these are presented as individual character flaws and patriarchal cultural norms rather than a critique of Islam itself, which serves as a nuanced cultural backdrop.
