Santa Banta Pvt Ltd follows the typical conventions of mainstream commercial Indian comedy. The storytelling prioritizes genre-standard entertainment and physical humor over challenging social hierarchies or cultural norms. The film lacks narrative complexity around multiple aspects of identity. It relies on conventional comedic structures that emphasize male camaraderie and traditional gender roles. While the film maintains ethnic specificity through its South Asian cast, it does not aim to disrupt traditional casting norms or explore complex racial or systemic issues.
