Main Aisa Hi Hoon functions primarily as a traditional family drama. While it features a character with a disability at the center of the narrative, the film's structure largely upholds existing social and familial norms. The story relies on established clichés, such as custody battles and patriarchal hierarchies, rather than providing an multi-layered or progressive critique of society. The portrayal of disability gives the protagonist a central role, but the depth of this depiction is not fully explored.
