    An eye-opener for some, rubbish for nay-sayers

    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.

    Waste of time- didn't know what the director wanted to convey

    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.

    Worst movie ever

    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.

    Far from reality

    It has become common for directors to blindly, take a point about women and just throw it on public. One more movie towards feminism as it portrays always one-sided picture. Wondering that being a mother, they don't feel burden but everything becomes problem as a daughter in law. However, both are women.

    Movie just shows something that gives an impression that male dominance is creating problems.

    Aishwarya's acting is good as usual but keep on coming up with the same content is kind of making things out of track. Every show and every movie is like copy cat content where some category of women can applaud.

    Gruelling 2 hours

    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.
