Doli Saja Ke Rakhna is a typical late-90s commercial romantic comedy that prioritizes comedic escapism over identity politics. The narrative structure reinforces established social and familial hierarchies rather than challenging them. The film relies heavily on traditional clichés such as mistaken identity and romantic pursuit. These elements serve the genre's entertainment value but offer limited opportunities for exploring complex power dynamics or characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. Ultimately, the production functions within a standard commercial framework, focusing on interpersonal comedy and the navigation of conventional domestic expectations.
