The Great Indian Kitchen

One of the worst movies ever made.

The content is purely based on feminism but if you look at the characterization of the female protagonist, you'd feel that that character is fully baseless and doesn't really connect with us at all.

So many sequences in the film are deliberately injected just to portray that females are actually being used only for kitchen work which could've been easily avoided by presenting some justification from the male characters' side as well but they just avoided it totally and it made us feel like watching an artificially made film just to showcase one's opinion and provides no actual solution to the problem as well, especially the climax of the film was just absurd.

The one good thing wrt male characterization that gave a tiny bit of justification was wrt the father-in-law's characters who're the people from the previous generation against whom these kinda films are actually made.

Overall, if you're a feminist and really want to get your brain drained with a single point of view kind of an opinion, then this film is for you but if you really are a seeker of equality then it's an easily avoidable one.

A story too real and sort of leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but an eye-opener. Anyone who denies that it has an "anti-religious agenda" or "destroying tradition" definitely portray who they relate to in the movie, and are sadly confusing religion and mysogyny.

While some may say its targeting a certain ethnic group, I do not hesitate to say that it carries a message that goes beyond borders and touches everyone.

The movie captures the contrast between the beautiful Kerala and the ugly face of mysogyny and hypocrasy of the people. We used this movie as a starting point to open discussion around gender roles and stereotypes.

This is a pure waste of time movie- except for cooking and cleaning utensils and other house hold chores there is nothing much to be seen; it would have been better and a more useful story line if the heroine has some meaningful conversations and bring about a change in her husband and FIL rather than just leaving to her ambitions alone.

Am surprised in this day and age how a newly wed does all the works, doesn't bring up basic necessities in the house, doesn't even try to put forth any of her views but becomes rebellious at the end- doesn't help anyone.

Except for mockery of couple of age old traditions which may still be followed in some households there is no attempt to reason or have a conversation to bring about change.

The movie focuses on stigmatising the Indian traditions, so pointlessly that it becomes at some point sordid to watch the movie.

Add to this the recent controversy of women entering Sabarimala temple and the poor movie maker thought, it might be the perfect recipe for a controversy.

Throw in a little menstrual fluid, they might thought, the movie will get a PIL notice at least and viewership of the movie on OTT at least is guaranteed.

At some point, little did they realise that harping on a point too much makes it stale.

I am sorry for Aishwarya to have undertaken such movies. Would be a blow to her career.

Every Indian family must probably watch this. A little over exaggerated but problem is still real in many of the families around. But showing a leaking sink as a serious problem n an educated lady not able to get a plumber on her own were quite illogical. Climax could have been better. However, a sensitive realistic topic worth a watch definitely. Avilable on Zee5 in all South Indian languages.

My ratings 6/10!
