Great Indian Kitchen review: Plot

movie sheds lights on patriarchy in our society and how much is expected from women and onus lies on m to keep ir marri intact. plot of film revolves around Nimisha and Suraj’s characters who are a newly married couple. irs is a tritional arranged marri where couple is quite different from each or. Even though in beginning, bride is all smiles and happy, soon she gets tired of responsibilities and expectations people have of her.

film has a recurring scene where a woman is shown chopping vegetables, cooking and cleaning. newly wedded wife soon finds it harder to just to her husband’s family. Her husband, on or hand, is oblivious to her frustrations and outbursts and is a mirror im of his far, a patriarch.

movie shows how far-in-law is a patriarch and expects women to do all household chores and take care of kids. Moreover, he disapproves of machines and ggets that reduce labour and save time. However, male figures shown in film are t dominating or physically violent in slightest manner.
