The film looks at how tradition, religion and patriarchy are used to strip women of their agency. The Great Indian Kitchen is a visual treat and we frown upon women opposing it. Men are reading the newspaper while the women are waking up to prepare a meal.
I don't want you all to watch the same film that I was too late to see. I usually skip films and TV shows due to the hype and watch them after it calms down. Jeo Baby, the writer and director of the film, has given us the best movie of the year. We don't think twice about punishing women in our house for a natural occurrence because of the shame around menstruation.
The film is about a newly married couple and focuses on the female lead.
We, as young girls, have been told stories of women sacrificing their dreams and ambitions for their family.
I will try to convince you to watch The Great Indian Kitchen before the year ends. In cinema, the subject of enslavement of women has been explored. I finally watched the film this month after reading about it on the internet.
The wife takes over the activities her mother-in-law has been doing for years. It is nothing we have not witnessed around us, yet unfolds to watch.
We have normalised womenExhausting themselves in the kitchen to feed the rest of the family over the years.
