Mere Dad Ki Maruti is a conventional commercial comedy that relies on established social norms and domestic hierarchies. It prioritizes slapstick humor and generational conflict over any meaningful subversion of societal structures. The film provides an authentic portrayal of a specific socioeconomic class within its Indian setting. However, it does not intentionally aim for characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity or the inclusion of underrepresented identities. Ultimately, the narrative operates within traditional cinematic expectations, focusing on material desires and family stability without challenging broader social or cultural hierarchies.

The film upholds traditional gender roles where the male characters hold authority, while female characters mainly act as catalysts for the male lead’s journey. The father figure's authority is occasionally challenged for comedic effect.
