Watch The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) online

An educated and progressive dancer (Nimisha Sajayan), having been raised in Manama, Bahrain finds herself in an arranged marriage to a teacher (Suraj Venjaramood) in a very traditional and patriarchal family. While the domestic routine of the Wife begins in the sweet bliss of a new marriage, things begin to go down-south. The drudgery of the kitchen and its many unpleasantries - cleaning, dirty vessels and leaking taps is left to the women while the men mostly indulge themselves with their phone or yoga. The family is so patriarchal that her mother-in-law hands the toothbrush to her husband, the father-in-law, in the morning for him to brush his teeth. The men eat their meals first and leave the place a mess without consideration or concern for how the women can eat food at the same place after them. Their convenience and comfort always comes before consideration for their wives. While the new bride takes a while to adjust to these new surroundings and eventually somewhat makes peace with them, her mother-in-law goes to take care of her daughter who is seven months pregnant.
