This film has many practical meanings, and it can probably be called social school reasoning like Higashino-kun's works. 1. The fragile status of women (being illegally filmed naked videos can ruin a lifetime, which is unimaginable in China); 2. Corruption of the police (although it is intentional to create a unique image of a villain, it seems that there is no direct criticism, but Still let us have a glimpse of the judicial chaos in India); three, a strong middle-class consciousness, it can be said that this is an Indian middle-class film. Although I don't know much about the status quo of Indian society and many contradictions, it can be seen from the film that the filmmakers are trying their best to call for an olive-shaped society and its ideology. A simple analysis of the image of the male protagonist can tell at a glance. The protagonist is not a rich man, but is "conscientious" in the operation of a small company. He does not have the indifferent personality of a businessman who has made a fortune in silence, but hates evil and dares to collide with evil forces head-on. As the middle class, there is no separation from the bottom, and the neighborhood relationship is quite good. There is no diametrically opposed identity in the relationship with the only staff member, and even put on a veil of warmth because of the few laughs in the film. He loves movies, and because of this he has obtained the outstanding anti-reconnaissance ability that he did not graduate from primary school (to brag about Bollywood in disguise?); he has the frugality and self-control of the emerging middle class, but he is also willing to pay for the family and try his best to maintain the happiness of the family (a little bit What makes people feel incongruous is that the male protagonist will not go home all night to watch a movie, leaving his wife and daughter empty to guard the mansion, so that the wretched rich second generation has an opportunity.)
Such a near-perfect male protagonist , In such a case without any sense of guilt, the director produced a perfect alibi, which objectively created a good show in which the middle class and the people at the bottom are heart-to-heart, hand in hand, and jointly fight against the upper-class bureaucracy. The script's intent is clear and politically correct. I just don’t know if such expectations and solutions are too perfectionism in India, where social contradictions are complex? So, is the second generation of the rich/official who dies without mercy, is it a manslaughter in the movie (the middle-class being violated and forced to defend himself), or is he mortal? (The "original sin" and corrosiveness of the upper classes).
