Did you notice that the characters didn't have a name. It was on purpose showing that they are very common, and can be from any Indian family
Ohh very true and did you check that it is written thank science
@Syed Akbar this represents mostly educated but a Hindu (Nair) family in Kerala. They are in fact very much educated. But the tours of their traditions lie too deep that they cannot let it go
Oh yes very true!! I was trying hard to remember what the characters' name were!! So they don't mention it right?!
@@varshasreenivas4249 yes. Not mentioned because it can be anybody you, me, the guy and his wife, father. That's why no name.
@Syed Akbar
It is not the level of education that often makes people civilized. Nor you can reform one only through academic institutions. Ever wondered about the sheer number of people who still believes in creationist myths even after all those years of schooling?
Feeling lag...? This is the everyday life of a woman. This is a must watch.
Well if you think like this then every job is pretty boring and requires one to do the same thing everyday. Household works are no different. Doesn't matter whether a woman is doing so or a man
Ethan Ramsey Unpaid?? The house exists coz one of the spouse is earning. Say if the husband is earning and the wife is a homemaker, does that make her unpaid? Her expenses are coming for the husband's money. And appreciating someone for doing their job is good but surely not necessary
@@ajaykarmakar4944 right there should nothing like unpaid doing you're own house work
Like you're not servant to get paid for it
Even children does house work it doesn't mean father mother them should pay money for housework
In rich society mainly there is lot of servants to do stuff like we seen in movies
In middle society either one of them work and other do housework to reduce time
If both are working house work also manages
If it's forced marriage than case is different
Other than words like thankless unpaid doesn't exist
I don't need any payment or thanks for doing my housework
@@ajaykarmakar4944 even if men are going for work ,then at the same time,not allowing his wife to work,even after getting job offer is the patriarchal system here.If in a house hold,2 bank officers (both husband and wife) are there ,due to great Indian patriarchal system, making breakfast for the children, all kitchen related things will fall on wife's shoulders than the husband.
If both husband and wife are working,in majority of houses,if a guest comes to their home on a Sunday,the female gender will suddenly go to kitchen to get tea, coffee,snacks while the male gender enjoys the living room.
@@ajaykarmakar4944 Well... the monetary part is true to an extent but your take on appreciation is classic instance of patriarchal mind. Will you work in an organization for your life without being appreciated? Remember, appraisal is also a form of appreciation. How do you find it "not necessary" for someone when the same is absolutely necessary for you?
I felt like I got a slap.. becoz I never even noticed how bitterly my mother was suffering all through her whole day...
The movie is a Great slap for the Indian patriarchal society and its supporters!!

Actually malayalam industry has been shining from decades but its now because of Internet and accessibility to such content that people are knowing about this awesome industry.
Most of the Bollywood Hit movies are Remakes of such Great Malayalam Movies like Herapheri, Hulchul, Chupchupke, Bhool Bhulaiyya etc..
to be honest that ain't exactly true,the 2000's where pretty bad,they where trying to do really massy stuff like the tamil and telungu industries,but the last few years it was a really great time for mollywood,and they were really good in the 90's
and also the fact is only the best movies reach wider audience
I loved kali more than kabir singh or arjun reddy
@@navneetb1576 kinda agree... But there were lot of films that won national awards and other stuff... But not very celebrated during that time cuz of the commercial movies....
We also had classmates, manjadikooru, thanmathra, kaazhcha, traffic, indian rupee and all that...i guess traffic kinda changed the industry....
I agree with you...lot of crap came out and was celebrated during 2000.mm which makes me cringe now

"a free servant who pays a huge amount before starting the slavery"
Well said 👍
💯
Wow.. that was an awesome quote..
True
Awesome quote, true also.
i remember getting disgusted on taking my husband's plate to wash and when i told him that he said whats so disgusting in picking up what we just ate ( this happened in my in-laws place) and once we were back to our place i intentionally asked him to pick my plate after we ate and now he gets the point why i was disgusted. Maybe we should start teaching women how to stand up and deal with these kind of situations
Many movies (and people too) romanticize eating leftovers often from a dirty plate. I find it disgusting.
You have an excellent point but women shouldn't have to know how to stand up for such things because they shouldn't have to deal with this.
@Rel Sci That is true but imo you need to normalise it rather easing into it,they never ease it shit do they?
You know, coming from a family who’s grandmother and mother used to give us occasional household chores to do every week when we were kids, washing the dishes of everyone who ate was one of those chores. I was never disgusted by it to be honest. It helped instil a sense of discipline in me. Hell, I think the only time I got a little disgusted were during the first few times when my grandma asked me to clean all the bathrooms in the house, but after awhile, I got used to that too. One major takeaway for me was that there is nothing wrong or degrading in serving your loved ones. Every member has an equally important job in maintaining a family’s well-being.
Also, if I may go off on a tangent here, most of life is suffering, every one of us suffers through life....so, is there anything more noble than suffering for others so that they can have a better life? It’s the stuff that makes great leaders. Now, don't get me wrong, am not asking anyone to be a push over and let people walk all over you. You have to learn to take care of yourself first before you can take care of others.
I feel It's weird to be disgusted by touching leftovers of a romantic partner, irrespective of gender. The only reason touching other's leftovers are considered disgusting is contamination with their spit, else it's no different from our own leftovers. But if people consider even touching their partner's spit disgusting, how do they kiss ?
Suraj Venjaramoodu is a terrific actor he won the National Award for Best Actor in 2014 for “Names Unknown “
And also Kerala State Film Award of last year for the film: Android Kunjappan and Vikrithi
Yep...he received 1 national award and 4 state awards😄
He indeed is a great actor 👌👌👌
The complete frustration is fully expressed in that final roar at her brother "why cannot he take and drink the water". An art film with a hard hitting message. An instant classic.

This is Oscar material. Really. As for me, the guilt stirred up was so strong that I had to stop the movie in between, absorb the pain, and then resume the movie after a lapse of time. Almost felt convicted. But, I feel proud as a Malayalee that the Malayalam movie industry has truly come of age.
Movie oke Kollam. But it's bloody reality happening to me and many women. And sad that men change.

She took the courage to speak up. But in reality most women just keep silence.
Even your family wont support you to react.
Its also shown in film. Her mother in law is best example
This great movie teaches that Both WOMEN and MEN should do OUTSIDE and HOUSEHOLD works equally. No Gender should bear extra burden. Both need respect and appreciation for their works.

@@knightofgodserventofholymo7500 No one is pleased to slave 24 hrs everyday at home. It's a stupid excuse to devalue the unnecessary work a housewife ends up doing for others, which could easily have been done by oneself.

@Felixzia Kjellberg appeal to authority
@Felixzia Kjellberg good one
At least you can see that point, still a long way to go for us, as a society to go to reach that equal respect and equal priorities
@@shantim5762 rather than equal priorities , i would say equal opportunities .
The turning point in the wife's mind was when she realized that the husband didn't have affection for her: 'I should feel something towards you for foreplay..'. She was just there to fulfill the role of wife, it could easily be someone else. That is sort of what the last scenes suggested.
Where you're from
Exactly! I thought that scene was the turning point for the female lead too. She was just there to fulfill her husband's and in-law's needs and that was beautifully conveyed by showing the servant doing the same exact housework the female lead did on a daily basis, she was supposed to be an unpaid servant in that house according to the the father-in-law's customs.
And after this movie was released "foreplay" was the most searched word on Google in Kerala... Shows how u need to put-up a sex education...
Exactly
This great movie teaches that Both WOMEN and MEN should do OUTSIDE and HOUSEHOLD works equally. No Gender should bear extra burden. Both need respect and appreciation for their works.

The irony is that in this movie husband character played by Suraj is a Sociology teacher
Edit: `When u wake up laying in bed, looking into the kitchen, saying "coffee" to wife or mother and sitting there and asking "What's for breakfast?" Society sees its normal. A patriarchal society taught that all those works are women's jobs. That Patriarchal lesson being questioned is the beginning of the change. When I saw The Great Indian Kitchen and seeing some comments below supporting the lead male character by Suraj I felt relevant because it showed me how a male ego works. When the wife pointed out a mistake of her husband, it gets ego hurt apologizes to her, stabbing her later on the name of it..The film was made by the people who destroyed the whole country by declaring menstruation is pure. Wives are not the robots who paint the bolt with grease to make it up. to wash underwear, to take all the things they say, to lay down when a man wants to give it to them. A bird in the cage should be made to understand that it is in bondage. Putting that bird in the cage should be made to understand that the society which is looking very normal is wrong. If you want to unlearn something that has been going on for centuries a society should grow the thought that this program is wrong.
Teachers often don't get what they are teaching.

It released on Amazon prime too
Really?
I thought the west these days don't have gender specific roles..
The moment she walked out of the dark, closed up house out into the open air with the sun shining bright was like a bird truly set free from her cage.
If you observe your own homes even with a little bit of awareness, you will be confronted with nuances of ghastly sexism which undermines the gender equality notion in your head; it has ceased to exist in the society all around the world many many centuries ago.. I have started to ❤️ malyali cinema through subtitles! This is art, genuine honest raw portrayal. That is why it is so beautiful!
I am actually lucky that my household upbringing is so different from this movie. I don’t wanna brag, but I make the breakfast and dinner, wash clothes and mop the floor myself, and help my mom the chance I get. Once you start doing "chores" a regular basis you finally get to understand how tough a life the women live.

We shouldn't restrict women to a role in a house, ever..
This actually daily life of most of the Indian women.
Real life example ? Made my mother watch this, dad was sitting besides too. I somehow knew he wouldn't sit through the movie - he anyways wouldn't, and now with kitchen in the title, he especially wouldn't. He watched half an hour and then went outside for a walk with remarks - She ( Me ) makes us watch forcefully. He has often avoided movies like Thappad saying Auraton wali movie. He has changed a lot, now he takes a glass of water himself .. . . sometimes. But seriously, i wished he would see this movie throughout
Edit: He saw the scene where the lead gets angry at her brother and tells him to fetch water himself. . he immediately got alert and told me and my sister to not learn from this ( He might be joking )
You should learn from it, I grew up in Sweden and my sisters slapped me if i was being lazy haha they didn't want to clean after me all the time so at times they forced me to do the dishes and stuff haha you have to stand up for yourself, even though i was forced at times it still thought me to be more independent and not rely on others to do the shit for me.
@@suck634 Agreed. But he's my father, not my brother, there's a certain boundary there. As I said I have seen remarkable growth in him. We do tell him to do small stuffs by himself, but we can't stretch it fearing his health. So I guess baby steps is good enough. Better late than never.
It’s not just happening in Hindu families! It’s happening in almost 90% of the families in India!

It has nothing to do with religion. The movie is about patriarchy.

Same here in Bangladesh as well.

The point on the 3 course meal sparked a memory and a moment of hilarity. When I was newly married into a super traditional South Indian Brahmin household, I prepared lunch with Sambar, a spicy brinjal curry, Rasam and veggies and papadam, I was really proud of myself as I never really cooked much and usually it was a one pot meal. I was telling my father in law the menu for lunch, I think I expected some sort of Pat in the back praise. But he said, sure sure this is enough, we can adjust, no need to be fancy. I was speechless ! for a moment and I quickly said that this was the fancy bit of my repertoire and not to expect even this for subsequent meals. Luckily they turned out to be not very fussy 😂
Luckily.. nuanced sexism

Unfortunately, the impact is going the wrong way as everybody including Malayalees are thinking such patriarchal life happens only in Kerala just because this film is made in Kerala, while the story is so very true in almost 90% of the household in India. Because just the other day, after seeing the trailer one of my North Indian known person was asking `Kya Kerala mein women ka ye haal hai, koi freedom ya respect nahi'. While I was laughing at his ignorance and wanted to tell that women in Kerala has more identity and get more respect than anywhere in India as compared to especially North, where women are treated just like pets with no voice and freedom even if it is a well educated household. But then I understood the basic mentality issue with Indians. We try to alienate each social issue with some places, community, religion, caste etc. while not accepting and appreciating that its a universal problem and together something need to be done and mindset to change. Kudos to the film maker and team in making such a beautiful film. It is films like these which should have 200 crore business. Yes, Malayalam film industry is churning out best movies and fortunately people of Kerala are accepting such films where neither the hero or heroines are glamorous or shown six packs or shirtless or biceps or ice cream looking faces, but true natural looking beauty whose talent speaks like here that of Nimisha and Suraj. What a performance? I am glad that the Director has not shown the heroine as feminist or the husband as cruel, but in a true way trapped in the upbringing of all of us with traditional circumstances while everybody is good at heart.
Well said.

The wife never complained doing housework. She wasn’t appreciated and lost any motivation. Appreciation doesn’t always mean that you speak words like thanku. Your gestures speak aloud. The husband knows table manners when dining out but refuses to do the same at his home, “ I will do as per my own convenience at my home.” and also demands an apology from his wife for even pointing this out to him. Both men eat like animals on table, leaving mess, wasting food. But their own demands are fresh food, no pressure cooker or mixer grinder, no food from refrigerator. Husband won’t even call a plumber to fix the leaking pipe.
He feels disrespected when wife says a foreplay before sex would help her with pain that she experiences. He actually couldn’t accept the fact that she too knows about foreplay as if she’s not supposed to being a woman. She is not allowed to do a job for the only reason that it’s not good for children who were not even born yet. The tradition regarding menstruation just added fuel to fire, and actually helping her to get out of the hell she has been living in. She can’t sleep on bed, enter kitchen, touch anything because she’s unlucky when menstruating. Don’t know what disgusted the men more her menstrual cycles or the dirty water leaking from pipe that she gives them instead of tea.
Cooking and doing cleaning in home is not at all bad and can be very enjoyable but appreciation matters.
I don't know about other parts of our country, but in kerala this untouchability for women during the menstruation period is still being followed in many households. Coming from a brahmin family, I have seen my relatives sleeping in different rooms and abstain from doing any household chores during those days. They don't even show their faces to the men in their houses, who go for pooja in temples, during those days. I am lucky that I didn't have to do all that because my parents have always been against that idea.
I would like to know if this tradition is followed in other states also...
Ohh is it really I thought it was a old thing in Kerala from Thrissur
S even we tamilians follow it

This was the best film of the year in every aspect. That's how reality should be shown on screen. Raw and touching.
It's a horror movie mostly shot
in kitchen. Villain father in law. A plumber could have fixed the plot temporarily. Must watch specially after lock down
No industry has actors and technicians who are soo talented, natural and down to earth like Malayalam Cinema. This is the way forward. An industry that could be world recognized maybe more than korean cinema too.

Nah, there are good artist everywhere. Its that people in many other states and culture doesn't want good movies that enables audience to think. They have lots of problem of their own and movies are just for celebration for them. Kerala is much more civilized and chilled out people because of the improved living conditions. They have more mental space to understand and appreciate these movies.
@@arunmoh6418 I do agree that good artists are everywhere, but u say they need more mental space to think ,don’t forget that Malayalam films are supremely entertaining and commercially viable. We are not talking about the art house cinema here.
Trivia: No characters in the movie, except the house help Usha and the girl Janaki, have names. Nimisha and Suraj are the actors who play the roles. Absence of names make the film much more universal in sense. Also by giving name and thereby identity to the dalit Usha, the director makes the politics of the film evident. It's very rare to see an empowered dalit woman character in the film whose identity inspires the female lead to take a stand in her life.
Interestingly, the film doesn't portray the men as abusive and that's the beauty of the film too. It speaks about the subtle and nuanced characteristics of patriarchy and how it is deeply rooted in everyone.
As mentioned in this video, the film is gonna stay for ages...
Ooo...I was eagerly waiting for this Jammy❤️❤️Love From Kerala❤️❤️
South films, especially Tamil and Malayalam film industry are so novel and creative in terms of content and natural acting that I feel that the entire film industry should bow here. Even the non-south netizens, from past 6-8 years have grown a liking for these films, Its unsurprising to see numerous telecasts of so many Hindi-dubbed of south Movies in Hindi movie channels over actual Hindi movies. Thanks to OTT platforms we can watch these movies at homes and thanks to youtubers like Jammy 🙏❤ who acknowledge and put reviews of these movies and help them get the appreciation that these movies deserve. Even Telangana IT & Industry Minister KTR couldn't resist to praise the Malayalam films, In an interview, said he watched around 50 Malayalam films during lockdown and blown away by their quality filmmaking. ❤👏👌👌
😋🥰
U can keep raw and dark mood for tamil.... Their take on releastic is diff from malyalam.... It's mostly on distressful issues.... I don't like it personally ... Natural movies means malyalam

Just FYI, Suraj was the best actor of National Film Awards 2013.
Movies like this, just bcuz of the linguistic barrier, shouldnt be restricted to a particular audience..It tackles issues that women face throughout the world...be it a working mother or a housewife or a single mother..So thank you Jammy for giving spotlight to malayalam movies as u have bcuz stories like these need to be told as people are unaware of the unfair happenings at their very home..Love from kerala 💖

The carrer growth that malayalam films provide for actors can't be matched by any other industry. Suraj started as a sidekick playing comedy roles and now he is starring in films that requires you to show your emotions and he is not an exception. There were others before him and hope that many others follow and not shy away from accepting smaller roles in films.
I'm so happy someone decided to make this movie! Many People especially people who think controlling their daughters and wives should watch this. Women are not pets and that should be learnt first!
And people literally blocked it in Amazon and Netflix BCS it was too "specific" and "taboo subject"
His name is actually Suraaj, not Sooraj.
The director of the movie GEO BABY approached AMAZON and NETFLIX but they didn't take this movie(don't know why,may be cause of relatively lesser known cast). And these AMAZON and NETFLIX buyed tudds is MISS INDIA,NISHABDAM COOLIE NO,DURGAMATHI,MANIARYILE ASHOKAN etc cause of their cast.
Again, the bhakts are the problem. Amazon was willing to take it if they censor the Sabarimala reference. Makers said no.

Kitchen is not a work place it's a fun place. Boys and girls enjoy what you do, help each other. Don't feel like a burden it's for survival. Cook own healthy food.
One of the best movies in recent times in Malayalam Cinema..The film beautifully mentions some of the anomalies in the society and the importance of women's freedom...🎬☑️
Instead of waiting and getting satisfied by the reactions and review s of foreign reaction channels,who by the way have no idea actors in the south and faking it, support to jammy who clearly knows the background of actors and their work , please make him reach 1million
The lead actress, Nimisha is just 23!
I had a love marraige but still being a female in a marraige is never a boon... Its what 5years of marraige so far had taught me... There came a point where i voiced my views and the lack of fairness, the finale of which was many women do it daily cooking ckeaning maintaining the house hold even along with going to work and providing consent for sex at night.. Why cant u? Why do u make such a big deal out of it? If u cant please leave i will find someone who will do it all just fine. It killed me... And it killed the whole vibe and happiness in me these days i hardly look in a mirror or dress up... I was criticised for that too i looked good before now am not good looking it seems... I have come to a point where i dont care anymore...
I cried watching this film at msny places it touched my heart kudo to the makers and the cast and for jammy who gave his genuine view.
Its like the movie Sir without classism but with sexism
i'm a malayali and i'm so proud that the movies are getting recognition,but i think people are being too harsh on bollywood,every movie industry have time when they run out of ideas,even malayalam.and hollywood is not much better than bollywood ,they remake all kind of stuff,anime,european,asian.just look at disney,they are just remaking old animated classics and lion king ,mulan etc were actually bad but it is always the remakes that makes the most money,the lion king grossed 1.6 billion something dollars and so did jurrasic world,so can't blame movies like judwaa for succeeding,
people have to understand there are good movies in bollywood too
Yes
They think hating on bollywood makes them look cool.
It's really heart-warming to see our Malayalam Film breaking barriers and accepted all across. It's all because mostly in Malayalam Movies the reality is portrayed as such rather than exaggerating it and to make the audience feel a connect with it.
M glad somebody made it this way. Mallu industry is changing so much in such great way🔥🎉
It's Malayalam, and it's been always good.
We requested and he did it.. Thanks Jammy 😊
Always proud to be a malayali✌️
Every male especially in India needs to see this to see what the woman of the household whether it’s their sister, mother or wife are going through...
A marvelous movie. A movie that seems to be a live broadcast from a few Indian kitchens. Though small portions of the movie did make me question about the realistic outlooks of the movie, the overall experience was pretty satisfactory. The acting and the direction was par excellence. The story is carried out in such a manner that you can feel the frustration, irritation and desperation of the character. Though there is hardly a light moment in the entire movie, and though the movie is serious to the point of leaving you feeling asphyxiated towards the end of it, you realize that is the very motive of the movie. To make you feel the life of a great many kitchens in India.
However, there was an altogether different realization of mine that was reaffirmed when I watched this movie. It made me appreciate the men in my life a lot more.
Be it having a father, who I have never ever seen make specific demands about what he wanted to eat, and always be satisfied with whatever was laid out on the dinner table.
Or having a husband who can and does manage the entire household; from preparing the tastiest of pohas to knowing what grocery has been used up in the kitchen and ordering it up at the right time to cleaning our washrooms - an individual who has proven to be a 'partner' in every sense.
Having a brother who understands and appreciates the Industry that is an Indian Kitchen and helps out from time to time.
And having a brother-in-law who can hold his own in the kitchen and household as well as his brother does.
But who I appreciate the most is probably my father-in-law, who in spite of being from a different generation, has a mindset miles ahead of his time when it comes to managing the kitchen/household. From knowing exactly where in the kitchen each vessel is kept, to being able to answer when his kids or daughter-in-laws approach with a question about where the latest packet of mustard is stored, his hold on the know-how of the kitchen amazes me. From being the best sou-chef, be it by keeping all the ingredients ready when his daughter-in-law is cooking or by chopping the onions in the exact shape and size she wants, to being the chef of a few of her favorite breakfasts and taking pride in it- his outlook and mindset in the field never fails to win my admiration.
My father and brother are people I have lived with all my life and hence know well, but my in-laws are what life gave me when I chose my partner. So, I wouldn't have had a say in the way their mindset is shaped. Hence, admiration is well deserved, wouldn't you agree?
Thank you doing the heavy lifting on our side and watching/ scouting through plethora of movies across language and countries and highlighting the gems that are must watch to help us as well broaden our view. Thanks Jammy!
Guys, this movie is on Prime Video now!!! Please make it a point to watch it with your family this weekend 🤗 it’s barely 2 hour long.. hardly has any dialogues.. all Indians can watch easily ✌🏼
The movie is very relatable. My grandmother and mother had gone through this in real life. My mother had to do all the housework before and after her job. And yet they are not thanked or respected. I am thankful that she didn't pass the patriarchial ideologies to us kids.
Its not bollywood vs south industry
Its all about tollywood vs mollywood vs kollywood vs sandlewood 💥💥
