Raman Raghav 2.0 is a gritty, postmodern thriller that emphasizes psychological complexity and institutional critique over traditional demographic representation. It successfully depicts a realistic, multifaceted urban India, moving away from the polished aesthetics of mainstream cinema. However, the film falls short in representing LGBTQ+ characters and non-cisgender identities. Women are largely relegated to the periphery, often serving only as plot devices. Mental health and neurodivergence are primarily used to explain criminal behavior rather than as nuanced experiences of living with disabilities.
