The Great Indian Kitchen

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every Indian family must probably watch this. A little over exaggerated but problem is still real in many of the families around. But showing a leaking sink as a serious problem n an educated lady not able to get a plumber on her own were quite illogical. Climax could have been better. However, a sensitive realistic topic worth a watch definitely. Avilable on Zee5 in all South Indian languages.

My ratings 6/10!
