Synopsis
Like any Indian girl, the demure bride of 'The Great Indian Kitchen' goes to her new husband's house prepared to adapt to their customs and make it her home. Everything seems to be going fine, her husband and his parents love and care for her. But unexpected problems arise when her kind mother-in-law has to be away. She struggles to cope with the mountain of endless household chores, differences in opinion and unfamiliar traditions. Set during the Indian Supreme Court's sensational verdict allowing women to enter Kerala's Sabarimala temple and the protests that ensued, the film looks at what happens when women are pushed to the edge by a society plagued with patriarchy, ritualism and dogmatism. The protagonists, who remain nameless, represent a cross section of upper caste Hindu middle class that form the majority of Indian population.Details of Cast
