The Great Indian Kitchen rating

The Great Indian Kitchen received a high rating of 8.4/10 on IMDb. The film is about the patriarchal society in India. The director unabashedly shows with this film how religion is a sidekick to promote patriarchy in Indian households. The film is in Malayalam but one look at the title will make you understand that patriarchy has no borders. The characters have not been assigned names in the film. This makes it relatable to the audiences watching the film.
