The film does not explicitly depict LGBTQ+ identities or relationships that go beyond the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender. However, the strong emotional bond between Anahita and her mentor, Shalini, hints at exploring unconventional female-centric dynamics.

The story prioritizes women's ability to drive the story and their psychological complexity over traditional male-led horror clichés. By centering the narrative on Anahita’s trauma and a female mentor, the film challenges patriarchal structures of authority.

Casting features a diverse ensemble of South Asian actors, moving away from Anglo-centric horror norms. The setting and folk horror elements suggest a deep engagement with localized cultural mythologies.

The film explores the tension between institutional education and ancient, spiritual legacies. Its focus on prehistoric sites and ancestral destiny suggests a critique of modern rationalism through a cultural lens.
