The Great Indian Kitchen

It may be good first half showing the poorness of a newly married wife but the second half is very disappointing. Any hindu women will definitely know how to be in time of periods and what to do. Is the m and c women goes against their cultures? Very worst film ever!! Unnecessarily dragged sabarimala issue and finally she left her husband and went on, what to do 😒 Our Indian culture is not like western, if you get a problem to breakup and move on. Every family has its own problems they need to solve by discussing openly with each other. Yes may be the male domination is not right as in movie, she has to question them not to insult them and insult culture.

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.

Perhaps the British should have stayed for another 100 years! Awful tradition which some families in India still adhere to. A. Rajesh played it like a pro! She is amazing. I just wanted her to set fire to the house together will all those idiots in black robe pretending they know it all. Women rights is still far behind. We might be sending satellites into space but our beliefs are still archaic.

Time to leave behind all this useless traditions and include our women to be in the frontline. If we don not respect our women then who will.

Good movie, a bit short. Yogi could have been used more to give more humour. Anyway fantastic story.

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.
