Panipat is a traditional historical epic that prioritizes large-scale nationalistic storytelling over challenging social norms. The film focuses on state-level conflict and the clash between Maratha and Afghan identities. While the film accurately depicts the regional ethnicities involved in the 18th-century Indian conflict, it reinforces established hierarchies of gender and power. The narrative structure remains firmly within traditionalist frameworks, offering little room for diverse perspectives. Ultimately, the work reconstructs 18th-century power structures, emphasizing military leadership and religious identity over the inclusion of underrepresented or diverse social perspectives.
