The Great Indian Kitchen

Director R.kannan intentions are pure,just want to give a clear msg to the male chuvanistic propaganda that remains tagged as family head for ages in the past or be it future,keeps subtle and serves as a faithful to the original.... Aishwarya Rajesh holds the key of the movie,her performance will definitely fetch her some household name among female audiences and is a milestone in her career... Rahul Ravindran is not upto the mark remains as a mute spectator in viewers point of view especially emotion or anger situation seems to be pale and calm expression Overall a worthy package to watch out that serves a must see verdict or remake for every indian language...

The Great Indian Kitchen is a representation of most of the middle class family of India. The direction of the movie is fantastic that if we watch the full movie with our most focused mind we will be forced to withdraw our attention from the movie and here is the greatness of the movie that we can feel the regular boring and as well as hard life of a woman in a so called patriarchal society. Another movie titled "Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hai" is also represent this type of critical environment but with a mixture of spices of comedy and unreality but this movie does not lack that thing. It has every element that can meet us the face to face with the absolute reality of women's condition in most of the world.

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.

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.

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.
