The Great Indian Kitchen

This is definitely not the first movie to address the themes of gender inequality, gender discrimination, or "the homemaker woman" in Malayalam. It has always been a favorite topic for makers of family movies. But what makes this movie different is that, here the theme is not diluted for sake of giving balanced message. This movie shouts the message it says. Loud and clear. . It starts with the scene of an arranged marriage. From that moment, a beautiful mode of storytelling is set. The viewer witnesses visuals that happen everywhere in a traditional family and just by inviting attention to the places which needs attention, it is made clear what is wrong with it. It doesn't have the typical "suppressed woman" ingredients. The husband doesn't slap her. She is not shouted on. All that we see are the real raw things that happen typically, and still, the viewer will clearly understand what is wrong with all this. . Regarding the experience of watching the movie, the sound effects and camera work is exceptionally worth noting. It shows us that the art of cinematography is not just about making eye candy visuals. It is almost the opposite. Visuals are presented raw to us. . The actors comply very well with the standard set by the other aspects of the movie. Overall, it is definitely worth a watch and in my opinion, it is worth even forcefully showing someone if the situation demands.
