AI Analysis
Blind Dating offers a moderate level of representation by centering an interracial romance and a protagonist with a disability. The film moves beyond tokenism by making Leeza's Indian heritage a primary source of narrative conflict. However, the film remains tethered to conventional romantic comedy tropes. The character dynamics often prioritize romantic obstacles over the subversion of social or systemic hierarchies. While the protagonist's disability is handled with agency, the overall structure follows a traditional path that lacks a deeper deconstruction of cultural or gendered norms.
