I'm sure they didn't have it as a source material, but in an emergent way this movie has put forward the core messages of how a human civilisation can move from just surviving into thriving, which is being hotly discussed right now among the people debating about western civilisation. Some lessons need mulitple generations to learn, and one of them is this : for society as a whole, there is greater long term wealth and prosperity waiting if they can get themselves to ditch the "chhal-kapat" (deception, lies) that give limited short term gain and were necessary in rough times; and instead adopt Truth and Honesty. Though that makes things difficult in short term and doesn't pass the immediate logic tests, it brings rewards that our limited logical mind cannot process. Which is why this lesson takes generations to learn. One path is zero-sum where you pull down someone in order to succeed and the other is regenerative where everyone can flourish and the net wealth and prosperity increases. So the movie is a clarion call to Indian civilisation as we stand at a crossroads to move forward by taking the path of Truth. On core story I'll give it 10/10. In plotline, things did feel a bit stretched out, but hey maybe I'm more impatient, and the story needed them to stretch out. This movie pits logic against wisdom and compels the viewer to see the nuanced differences between the two.
