Major Themes – Bang Bang (2020)

Explore the central themes of Bang Bang (2020), from psychological, social, and emotional dimensions to philosophical messages. Understand what the film is really saying beneath the surface.

💎 Treasure & Power

The Koh-i-Noor diamond acts as a magnet for violence, shifting loyalties and motive among thieves, agents, and officials. Greed clashes with lines of duty, forcing characters to weigh personal gain against consequences for others. The pursuit reveals how power embedded in wealth can coerce allies and enflame rivalries across borders. Ultimately, the pursuit questions whether treasure justifies the human cost.

💖 Love & Loyalty

Harleen’s longing for true love pulls her into a dangerous world she initially resists. The relationship with Rajveer evolves from suspicion to trust as they navigate deception and peril together. Rajveer’s protectiveness tests his own moral boundaries, presenting romance as both a motive and a shield against despair. Their bond becomes a hinge on which choices about loyalty swing between self-preservation and sacrifice.

🕵️ Deception & Justice

Betrayals, double-crosses, and shifting loyalties drive the plot, underscoring how intelligence work operates in the gray zones between right and wrong. A fake diamond and a truth serum expose the lengths to which players will go to shield or reveal the truth. The reveal of a joint MI6-ISS operation reframes justice as a political instrument as much as a moral imperative. The climax challenges whether the ends can ever fully justify the means.
