I watched this today and it blew my mind. Yet another masterpiece from Malayalam cinema!

She peels, chops, grinds, cooks, serves, does the dishes, sweeps and mops the floor. He eats. She's rushed off her feet. He sits calmly, doing yoga - breathing in, breathing out.

That's the story of The Great Indian Kitchen, a small-budget Malayalam-language film that brilliantly captures the nuances of a patriarchal household and brings to light the horrors of everyday life.

Already being called "the breakout film of the year", the drama that unfolds in a dark, grimy kitchen in a "respectable", middle-class home, has become a huge talking point in the southern state of Kerala and on social media and raised many unsettling questions about insidious sexism within homes.

What a misleading poster.


It makes it look like a RomCom and not a Horror flick er real life drama.

Perfect bait for patriarchal men who come expecting the usual happy romcom but end up discovering to their utter shock that it was anything but.


Well done, I say.

Everyone should watch it. Needed story and incredible acting! Another one to watch is Kumbalangi Nights. There are few in BW who can match the kind of acting shown in regional cinema.

I think that was the point. The horror behind the happy pic.
