Featured reviews
First time a person see this movie the storyline is minimal, but it contains more messages. The shots and scenes are more intensive and effective, that helps to understand the problems of a middle class house wife who have been facing struggles and pressures after her marriage. In my opinion the men and women should start change their mindset for achieve the perfect gender equality in our society. After watching this movie, a boy is ready to wash his plate after finish his food, this movie will be a super hit than a 100 crore club movie.
This is definitely not the first movie to address the themes of gender inequality, gender discrimination, or "the homemaker woman" in Malayalam. It has always been a favorite topic for makers of family movies. But what makes this movie different is that, here the theme is not diluted for sake of giving balanced message. This movie shouts the message it says. Loud and clear.
.
It starts with the scene of an arranged marriage. From that moment, a beautiful mode of storytelling is set. The viewer witnesses visuals that happen everywhere in a traditional family and just by inviting attention to the places which needs attention, it is made clear what is wrong with it. It doesn't have the typical "suppressed woman" ingredients. The husband doesn't slap her. She is not shouted on. All that we see are the real raw things that happen typically, and still, the viewer will clearly understand what is wrong with all this.
.
Regarding the experience of watching the movie, the sound effects and camera work is exceptionally worth noting. It shows us that the art of cinematography is not just about making eye candy visuals. It is almost the opposite. Visuals are presented raw to us.
.
The actors comply very well with the standard set by the other aspects of the movie. Overall, it is definitely worth a watch and in my opinion, it is worth even forcefully showing someone if the situation demands.
The majority of the first 20 or 30 minutes of the movie are of household chores. You might find it frustrating. But that's the point. If watching a few scenes of cooking and cleaning makes you frustrated, imagine how the ones who does those things feel.
You might also feel some scenes were exaggerated. Yes, things have changed a lot in most places. But trust me, there are still some people who follow those ridiculous rituals.
Some idiots might say this is against Hinduism and all. But it's not. These same people would've said people like Ayyankali and Sree Narayana Guru were anti-Hindu.
Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj delivers awesome performances as usual. But I'd love to see something different from Nimisha. The actors who played Suraj's parents were good.
The movie mocks the hypocrisy of so called "believers".

A movie that never seeks for a middle ground or a grey area, its on point and its pollitics.
Great performance by every cast members. Top notch cinematography and sound designs.
The story is about an woman who is facing many problems after her marriage. These are the problems maximum women faces in our country. So, this is not only her story, it is the daily routine of every housewife.
