The Great Indian Kitchen

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.

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".

What an amazing movie. Exceptional direction, ultra natural acting from everyone. I think this is not just a movie, but a masterpiece. Hats off to the team that made this movie!

Director has carefully crafted the context of each frame in the movie. A single frame of the movie reveals the time of the day, the setting, the context and situation. Actors delivering flawless performance in each setting. The dialogues, supporting sounds, expressions and frames work together to shout out the message of the movie. Its beautiful and equally thought provoking to see how an unwashed tea cup, a leaking sink and the waste water bucket have a lot to convey and easily takes space in the movie. Hats off to the team for delivering the attention and detailing required to pass the bigger message.

A film which bluntly showcases everything about gender, religion, superstitions and traditions within 2 hours. Excellent cinematography and sound design makes this work unique.
