The Great Indian Kitchen (2021)

8,3
The whole responsibility of cooking, cleaning and other household chores falls on her. Her egotistical Husband is inconsiderate of her needs and feelings. When she tells him that it hurts when having sex and asks for some foreplay, he tells her he doesn't care enough about her to provide her that. Her father-in-law forbids her from finding employment, citing that a woman in the house brings prosperity to the family. When she gets her period, she is appalled to discover that the families' beliefs regarding menstruation are extremely regressive. She is asked to hole herself up in a room on the floor, bathe in the river, eat separately and wash all the things she touches. She is even asked to go stay with a relative or to sleep outside. While these events transpire, Kerala is grippled with the Sabarimala temple verdict where the courts decided that menstruation is not an impurity and so women should be allowed to visit the temple. A lot of people including the bride's family do not approve of the verdict.
All these little injustices boil over one day and end up with the wife throwing dirty kitchen sink water on her husband and father-in -law and leaving the family for her freedom and dignity. The film ends with a scene showing her as an independent dance teacher arriving in her own car while her husband is married again and the second wife seems to meet the first one's fate.
