The Great Indian Kitchen review: Aishwarya Rajesh saves the Tamil remake of the brilliant family drama

Aishwarya Rajesh in The Great Indian Kitchen

  • Thinkal Menon

Last Updated: 05.13 PM, Mar 03, 2023

Story: A young woman gets hitched to a courteous man who hails from a patriarchal family. She slowly realizes that her life has turned topsy-turvy because of the constant unreasonable demands from her husband and father-in-law. Unable to cope up with their regressive mindset, she takes a decision which leaves many stunned.  

Review: The impact created by Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen needs no introduction. Jeo Baby's movie struck the right chord in holding a mirror to our society's patriarchal mindset and touched upon various pertinent topics pertaining to liberation of women in our households.

The Tamil remake of the film directed by Kannan evoked curiousity when it was announced by makers. The decision to cast Aishwarya Rajesh to play the lead role in it, which was essayed by Nimisha Sajayan in the original version, was lauded by many. However, cinephiles were curious to know how the director would tweak the story to suit the sensibilities of the Tamil audience.

image_item

Kannan hasn't made any notable changes to the Kollywood version. The character designs and sequence of events are exact replica of the Mollywood version. The significant change lies in the variety of dishes the protagonist prepares in the kitchen from morning to night to please her conservative husband and father-in-law. 

The filmmaker has also ensured that the structure of the house where the story unfolds is relatable to Tamil viewers. The major highlight of the movie is unsurprisingly the flawless performance from Aishwarya. The character of a young woman who is torn between following her dreams and adhering to orthodox family values is safe in the actress' hands.

A still from the film

Her agony, confusion, helplessness and feeling of self-respect are easily relatable to viewers. Rahul Ravindran as the traditionalist husband and Nandakumar in the role of the dominating father-in-law are convincing. Balasubramaniem's cinematography aids in providing the required mood to the story, while Leo John Paul's background score is effective.

Yogi Babu makes a cameo appearance and pulls off what is expected from him. The makers succeed in conveying what they set out to do through the film.

Having said that, there is no creative addition to the new version in terms of character development or offering surprises in the screenplay. Some of the sequences appear superficial despite the right set up and involvement of actors. The audience in Kerala could easily relate to the Sabarimala connection in the story, thanks to the historical court verdict which was in favour of women's rights.

The Sabarimala issue was widely discussed in Tamil Nadu as well, and it is one of the temples where devotees from the state flock in huge numbers. But the Tamil version should have included elements which viewers in the state could have exclusively related to. Nevertheless, it clearly delivers the message against regressive practices in the guise of tradition which leave unlimited burden on women.  

Verdict: The movie might not appeal to those who watched the original Malayalam version as the Tamil film appears quite rushed, but that doesn't take away the merits this attempt deserves.

The Great Indian Kitchen is streaming on Zee5.

The Great Indian Kitchen Movie Review: A well-intended, yet functional remake

The Great Indian Kitchen Movie Review: A well-intended, yet functional remake

Rating: ( 3 / 5)

Retelling stories is an art in itself. We see how folklore has a way of being retold multiple times across generations to drive home various pressing themes sugarcoated in a fantastical premise. But then, some concerns need to be told in a rooted premise to usher a change among the discerning audience. Some of these stories need to be told again and again, in as many languages as possible because of the core premise.  Director: R Kannan Cast: Aishwarya Rajesh, Rahul Ravindran, Poster Nandakumar, Kalairani and Yogi Babu

Jeo Baby's The Great Indian Kitchen was one such Malayalam film that came right at the time the world was witnessing the 4th wave of feminism, which focuses on the empowerment of women and intersectionality with the use of technology. The film spoke about the sad state of affairs in our homes where we are still fighting patriarchal practices, inequalities, and domestic exploitation of women. Considering the unfortunate universality of the theme, it is heartening that filmmaker Kannan decided to remake this film in Tamil, and cast Aishwarya Rajesh and Rahul Ravindran in the roles played wonderfully in the original by Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu, respectively. For those who missed out on watching the critically acclaimed Malayalam original, the Tamil version will serve the purpose of reiterating and subsequently tearing down the chauvinistic ideology of confining women to the kitchen, the dining table, and the bedroom. Set in a nondescript suburban location,  The Great Indian Kitchen  revolves around a newly married couple--the wife is a Bharathanatyam danseuse, and the husband is a sociology teacher. The makers choose not to name the characters as they could mirror anyone in the audience. The story unfolds with the woman going through the grim reality of being a “home administer” and spending most of the time cooking and cleaning the mess on the dining table, floor, and the clogged sink. At a point, her hands start to stink due to repeated cleaning of the clogged sink and its leaking conduit. When it becomes unhygienic and sludgy in the kitchen, she requests her husband to call a plumber to repair it. However, he doesn’t pay heed to her. Although she manages to dispose of the leaking sink water for many days, when several other unfavourable events swarm her up, her temper hits the brim, marking the climactic splash. And instances like these, including the conversation between Aishwarya’s character and her old-school mother or the ones with her empathetic and progressive mother-in-law, and the intimate ones with her husband retain the crux and genuine intentions of the original.

The Tamil version too discusses 'taboo' topics like menstruation, the stigma attached to it, and the historic judgment of allowing women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala. Sincere efforts to produce excellent sound effects has reflected in the output. The sounds of chopping vegetables, cooking, and washing reverberate monotony that eventually suffocates the audience.   The recreation of the symbolism of the original like the kitchen and room grills reflecting prison bars and Aishwarya’s character repeating the same set of clothes reinstates the tedium. Over time, it makes the oppressors, even the sub-conscious ones, uncomfortable and lets the oppressed feel represented. 

However, this Tamil adaptation relies heavily on background score to enhance laboured performances. In this predominantly scene-to-scene adaptation, several crucial instances try to convey the underlying politics of these scenarios. However, the staging of these scenes and performances lacks a sense of organic flow. The central characters try hard to do justice to their roles, but unfortunately, it doesn’t match or come close to the finesse of the original’s cast. The pregnant pauses that made the audiences squirm were a miss in the adaptation. In the end, the layered emotions of pain, angst and rage portrayed by Nimisha were replaced with just anger by Aishwarya in the Tamil version. While a lot of performances didn't always hit the mark, Kalairani stood out with her consistency, albeit in a role with lesser screentime. 

The art of filmmaking offers a platform for creative minds to tell stories that matter of course in their style. Even when it’s a rehash of a done-and-dusted story, there’s always a scope to retell it differently. This novelty can be in the ideological perspectives, its representation, the setting of the film, the aesthetics, and even in the visual language. However, a lack of a bit more nuance pulls down the film by a peg or two. The makers' decision to recreate a kitchen that is almost similar to the one seen in the original didn't really work because it felt like a 'set' in the Tamil version as opposed to the lived-in space of the original. However, such foibles can be overlooked, to an extent, as the film definitely has good intentions. The Great Indian Kitchen might have been too faithful to its core material or the performances might have been too staged or even the perspectives might have been too one-note, but just like how our folklores find different narrations, narratives, and narrators, The Great Indian Kitchen too has found a Tamil voice through Kannan, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Rahul Ravindran. Did it ring loud, and clear? Probably not. But as the credits roll, The Great Indian Kitchen , with all its problems, reiterates that a woman breaking out of the shackles of patriarchy and making the people who thrive in the system get a liberal dose of the daily muck of an oppressive 'natural order' will always be satisfying.

தி கிரேட் இந்தியன் கிச்சன் Review: தாக்கம் தருவது நிச்சயம்!

the great indian kitchen movie review tamil

இந்திய குடும்பங்களில் பெண்களின் அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையின் சுழலோட்டத்தை கண்ணாடியாய் காட்டி முகத்தில் அறையும் படைப்பு.

துவைப்பது, சமைப்பது, பாத்திரம் கழுவுவது, ரிப்பீட் என சுழலும் சக்கரமாய் சுழன்றுகொண்டேயிருக்கிறார் புதிதாக திருமணமான ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷ். இதைப் பற்றியெல்லாம் அவரது கணவரான ராகுல் ரவீந்திரனுக்கு எந்தக் கவலையுமில்லை. அவரது கவலையெல்லாம் ‘லைட் ஆஃப் பண்ணவா?’ என்பதுதான். இப்படி மிஷினைப் போல இயங்கும் ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷ் ஒருகட்டத்தில் ஆக்ரோஷம் கொண்டெழுந்து இதையெல்லாம் எப்படி உடைத்து வெளியேறி வீறுநடையிடுகிறார் என்பதுதான் படத்தின் திரைக்கதை.

கடந்த 2021-ம் ஆண்டு ஜியோ பேபி இயக்கத்தில் மலையாளத்தில் வெளியான ‘தி கிரேட் இந்தியன் கிச்சன்’ படத்தை தமிழில் ஆர்.கண்ணன் அதிகாரபூர்வ தழுவலாக உருவாக்கியிருக்கிறார். ‘சமைக்க பிடிக்குமா?’ என ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷிடம் கணவர் கேட்கும்போது, ‘சமைக்க தெரியும்’ என அவர் பதிலளிக்க, கணவர் ராகுல், ‘எனக்கு சாப்பிட புடிக்கும்’ என்கிறார். மொத்தப் படத்தையும் விளக்கும் இந்த வசனத்துடன் படம் தொடங்குகிறது. நீண்ட நேரமெடுக்காமல் நேரடியாக படம் கதைக்குள் செல்கிறது. மலையாள படத்தை தமிழில் பார்ப்பது போல எந்த வித பெரிய மாற்றங்களுமில்லாத திரைக்கதை லூப்பில் பயணிக்கிறது.

திருமணத்திற்கு பிறகான ஒரு பெண்ணின் மணவாழ்க்கை என்னவாக இருக்கிறது என்பதை ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷின் அந்த சமைத்தல், துவைத்தல், பாத்திரம் விளக்குதல், படுக்கையறைக்கு செல்லுதல் என்ற லூப் தருணங்கள் அச்சு அசலாக காட்டுகின்றன. முகபாவனைகளின் வழியே உணர்ச்சிகளை வெளிப்படுத்தும் அந்தக் கதாபாத்திரத்திற்கு நியாயம் சேர்க்கிறார் ஐஸ்வர்யா. அவரை மையமிட்டே கதை நகர்வதால் தேர்ந்த நடிப்பால் அந்தக் கதாபாத்திரத்தின் வலியை எளிதாக கடத்திவிடுகிறார்.

the great indian kitchen movie review tamil

ராகுல் ரவீந்திரன் ஆணாதிக்க சமூகத்தின் நம்மில் ஒருவராக பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்துப்பட்டு நடிப்பில் தேர்கிறார். குறிப்பாக அவரது தந்தையாக நடித்திருக்கும் போஸ்டர் நந்தகுமார் ‘விறகு அடுப்புல சமைச்சுடும்மா’, ‘வாஷிங் மிஷின்ல துணிய போடாத’ என ‘பூமர்’ அங்கிளாக பார்வையாளர்களின் அத்தனை வசவுகளையும் வாங்கும் கதாபாத்திரத்திற்கு அழுத்தம் கூட்டுகிறார். கலைராணி, யோகிபாபு ஆகியோர் கதைக்கு தேவையான பங்களிப்பை சிறப்புத் தோற்றத்தில் செலுத்துகின்றனர்.

தொடர் லூப் காட்சிகளுக்கு இடையே, ‘அவருக்கு காரம் பிடிக்கும் இவனுக்கு காரம் பிடிக்காது’ என குடும்ப ஆண்களின் விருப்பதை தெரிவிக்கும் அம்மாவிடம், ‘அத்த உங்களுக்கு என்ற போது ‘அந்த பொட்டு கடல எடும்மா’ என்பதும், தோழியின் கலைநிகழ்ச்சிக்கு போக விருப்பம் தெரிவிக்கும்போது, ‘சண்டே தானே ஃப்ரீயா இருக்கேன்’ என தட்டிக் கழிப்பதும், ருசியாக சாப்பிடு கோரும் குடும்பம், சமையலறையின் கழிவுநீர் வழியும்போது கண்டுகொள்ளாதது போன்ற சுயநலமிக்க ஆணாதிக்க உண்மை முகம் வெளிப்படுத்தும் காட்சிகளால் படத்தின் அடர்த்தி கூடுகிறது. மற்ற காட்சிகள் மலையாள படத்தை அப்படியே நினைவுறுத்தினாலும், தமிழுக்காக சேர்க்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் பள்ளிக்கூட காட்சி கதைக்கு கூடுதல் நியாயம் சேர்க்கிறது.

மனைவியின் பிரச்சினையை கண்டுகொள்ளாத கணவர்,‘லைட் ஆஃப் பண்லாமா?’ என்றதும் அதற்கு ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷ் தன் விருப்பம் தெரிவிக்கும் பதில் யதார்த்த சூழலை பளிச்சிடுகின்றன. மாதவிடாய் குறித்த காட்சிகளில் ‘நான் சொன்னாதான தெரியபோகுது’, ‘இப்படியெல்லாம் பண்ணனும்னு சாமி வந்து சொன்னுச்சா; சாமிக்கு எல்லோரும் ஒண்ணு தான்’, ‘வீட்ல அம்மா தான் வேலைக்கு போறாங்க அப்போ அவங்க தானே குடும்ப தலைவர்’ போன்ற வசனங்கள் கவனம் பெறுகின்றன. லூப் காட்சிகளை தொடர்ந்து பார்க்கும் நமக்கு அவை சோர்வை தந்தாலும் அந்த லூப் வேலையை செய்யும் பெண்களின் நிலையை அப்பட்டமாக உரைக்கிறது படம்.

ஜெர்ரி சில்வர்ஸ்டர் வின்சென்ட் பின்னணி இசையில் ஐஸ்வர்யா ராஜேஷ் நடந்து செல்லும் காட்சிகள் கூடுதல் ஹைப் கொடுக்கின்றன. சூரிய ஒளியை ஜன்னல் வழியாக மொத்த சமையலறையையும் காட்சிப்படுத்தியுள்ள பாலசுப்ரமணியெம் ப்ரேம்கள் அழகூட்டுகின்றன. நீட்டி முழங்காமல் கதைக்கு தேவையானது கச்சிதமாக வெட்டியிருகின்றன லியோ ஜான்பாலின் கம்ப்யூட்டர் கீக்கள்.

the great indian kitchen movie review tamil

படத்தின் ஒரிஜினல் வெர்ஷனான மலையாளத்தில் ஒருவித இயல்புத்தன்மை நெடுங்கிலும் கைகூடியிருக்கும். தமிழில் அந்த இயல்புத்தன்மை ஏனோ மிஸ்ஸிங்! மேலும், நடுத்தர குடும்பங்களில் பெண்கள் ஒடுக்கப்படுவது போலவும், மேல்தட்டு குடும்பங்களில் ஆண் சமைத்து பெண்ணுக்கு பரிமாறும் வகையிலான காட்சி அமைப்பு விவாதத்திற்குரியது. மலையாளத்தில் ஓடிடியில் வெளியான ‘தி கிரேட் இந்தியன் கிச்சன்’ படத்தை தமிழில் திரையரங்குகளில் காணும் வாய்ப்பு ஏற்பட்டிருப்பதே இரண்டுக்குமான வித்தியாசம்.

மொத்தத்தில் ரீமேக்கிற்கு நியாயம் சேர்த்ததா? இல்லையா? - இதையெல்லாம் தாண்டி, அதன் அடர்த்தியான உள்ளடக்கம் நிச்சயம் அனைத்து பார்வையாளர்களுக்கும் எளிதில் கனெக்ட் ஆகும் என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை.

The Great Indian Kitchen review: Powerful film on patriarchy and men-governed traditions

The great indian kitchen has to be the most powerful film on patriarchy in recent years and it makes for a very important watch. its lead actor nimisha sajayan is unbelievably convincing..

The Great Indian Kitchen

Nimisha Sajayan plays the lead in The Great Indian Kitchen.

Director : Jeo Baby

Cast : Nimisha Sajayan, Suraj Venjaramoodu

Films that question patriarchy are often criticized because they’re mostly made by men, and it is argued that rarely do they do justice to the subject. Jeo Baby’s The Great Indian Kitchen is an exception, and one that questions the deep-rootedness of patriarchy in our society as realistically as possible without any gimmicks. Without picking sides, the film quietly, in the most harrowing fashion, gives us a glimpse into the life of a married woman in India and her role in the kitchen. With each shot, the film makes one squirm in his seat while asking questions such as how we treat women in our homes.

The film opens with the shot of Nimisha in a dance class. We see that she’s happy, and that it’s something that brings her joy, which is evident from the smile on her face. These opening shots are cut with shots of food being prepared at Nimisha’s house as the family is getting ready to host the groom’s family. A couple of scenes later, she’s married and we see her in her husband’s home. As she gets used to the traditions of the family, her life unfolds in the kitchen. What is eventually made to look like a household chore (which it isn’t) slowly turns into a nightmare, a grind that she can’t escape from. As she tries to grapple with the situation while trying to be the ideal wife and daughter-in-law, she starts to suffocate with nobody to her rescue.

Nimisha Sajayan aces her role a wife and daughter-in-law oppressed by patriarchy.

Every time the movie shifts the camera on a female character, we see her in the kitchen or attending to the men in the house. While the women toil and break their backs in the kitchen, the men are lazing around, scrolling through videos on whatsapp and leaving behind food waste on the dining table for the women to clean. The film’s most beautiful but haunting shots take place in the kitchen. As the camera zooms in on the food being prepared, all one could think of is how lip-smackingly delicious it could taste. But as the camera pans on the women who are making those dishes, working in the most horrible conditions, it’s a stark reminder of the reality and how patriarchy has enslaved women.

A lot of scenes take place in the kitchen. This is just to drive home the point that we have normalised women being in the kitchen, like it’s no big deal. Scenes are cut back and forth from kitchen to the bedroom. In one beautiful scene, Nimisha tells her husband that she’d really appreciate some foreplay when they get intimate. The husband mocks at her knowledge about foreplay and behaves as though it’s a crime for women to seek all that. There’s a hard-hitting subplot about menstruation and we see how the family treats Nimisha during this phase. While the men in the house prepare themselves for a trip to Sabarimala and talk about purity; nobody is bothered about the women who slog to keep everything clean. In another powerful scene, the father-in-law tells Nimisha to drop her idea of applying for a job because he feels the job women do in the house is far more superior to what bureaucrats and ministers do.

Nimisha Sajayan is unbelievably convincing as the wife who struggles to adjust to the life dictated by men in her family. Her character and performance are so relatable and you’d wonder if anyone else could’ve played her part more aptly. As much as the film talks about patriarchy, it’s also about those oppressed women who never question these men governed traditions.

The Great Indian Kitchen has to be the most powerful film on patriarchy in recent years and it makes for a very important watch.

The Great Indian Kitchen review: Kannan’s remake of a Malayalam hit film is bereft of soul

The Tamil version has remarkable performances by Aishwarya Rajesh and Rahul Ravindran but fails to drive the point home.

Bhaskar Basava

Published:Feb 03, 2023

Nowhere close to the original!

The Great Indian Kitchen (Tamil)

  • Cast: Aishwarya Rajesh, Rahul Ravindran, Kalairani, Poster Nandhakumar, and Yogi Babu
  • Director: R Kannan
  • Producers: Durgaram Choudhary and Neel Choudhary
  • Music: Jerry Silvester Vincent
  • Runtime: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Revathy
  • Director: Maneesh Sharma
  • Producer: Aditya Chopra
  • Music: Pritam Chakraborty
  • Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

Director Kannan’s The Great Indian Kitchen is an official remake of Jio Baby’s Malayalam film by the same name.

While the original received critical acclaim for dealing with the subject of gendered work, Kannan seems to have ended up making a film that is bereft of soul and far less impressive than the original.

The problem with remakes is that audiences are invariably bound to compare them with the original. So, those looking to remake a popular movie have the unenviable task of making sure that their film is as good as the original, if not better.

In addition to this, they also will have to make minor modifications to the script to ensure that it suits the taste of the new audience for whom it is being made.

Sadly, Kannan seems to have missed the bus on both counts. The remake is nowhere close to being as good as the original.

In addition, certain modifications that the director has made in the hope that it will endear his film to the Tamil audiences do the opposite.

The story of The Great Indian Kitchen revolves around Aishwarya Rajesh, a classical dancer who gets married to Rahul Ravindran. He is a school teacher who lives with his parents.

The bride walks into her new home with dreams of leading a happy life with her husband. But she is in for a rude shock when she realises that she has to slog from morning till night for the men of the house, day in and day out.

Every morning, she has to clean, cook, wash utensils, wash clothes, sweep, mop and dust the huge house. She repeats this exercise thrice every day, without rest or a break.

The only time she isn’t allowed to do anything is when she gets her period. Sadly, even then, she is treated like an untouchable.

While she slogs it out in the dark, gloomy kitchen, the men of the house don’t do any household chores and make merry.

In addition to this, they prevent her from pursuing her career as a dance teacher, keeping her in the confines of the kitchen, citing tradition and family values.

Eventually, things reach a breaking point.

The film, which is a feminist’s take on the role of housewives in families within a patriarchal system, looks to portray the men as nothing less than monsters looking to use women for their own selfish needs, without offering anything in return to the women or their families.

All the significant male characters in the film are made to appear mean and inconsiderate.

Please do watch only in theatres and show ur love and support ❤️❤️❤️ #TheGreatIndianKitchen #RunbabyRun 🙏🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/qDy3DZqSlF — aishwarya rajesh (@aishu_dil) February 3, 2023

The father-in-law

For an instance, look at how the character of the father-in-law (played by Poster Nandhakumar) is showcased. He is shown to be mean, cruel and with no sense of cleanliness whatsoever.

He tells his daughter-in-law (Aishwarya), who is already struggling with the huge workload, not to cook in a cooker but to use an earthen stove with wood.

Also, he instructs her to wash the clothes without using the washing machine which is already there in the house.

Well, wonder how many fathers-in-law in this day and age would instruct their daughters-in-law to cook on an earthen stove or wash their clothes with their bare hands instead of using a washing machine?

And the more interesting question would be how many women would even entertain such demands. Anyway, the director wants us to believe that this happens everywhere.

It doesn’t end there. The father-in-law’s character is shown as someone who does not so much as pick his toothbrush to brush his teeth! The women of the house have to bring it to him, with paste on it!

If the father-in-law’s character is not horrible enough for you, the film has a husband’s character that is even more monstrous in nature.

A sneak peek from the #TheGreatIndianKitchen (Tamizh). Out today in theatres. https://t.co/741WCAV7PG — Rahul Ravindran (@23_rahulr) February 3, 2023

The husband

The husband is a schoolteacher. In one sequence, we see him teaching sociology to a class full of fifth-standard students. Gone are the days when kids were taught social science when they were in school.

What he is shown teaching as sociology is even more interesting. He says that the father or the man is the head of the family. No, we don’t see him explaining the patriarchal or matriarchal systems. He goes on to talk about the family system and how only men are heads of families!

When girls ask him why a woman can’t be considered the head of the family, instead of explaining the matriarchal system, he offers an absurd and blunt reply that looks to showcase him as being misogynistic, stoic and stupid.

At home, he is as mean and inconsiderate as his father. Also, he is equally bad when it comes to table manners.

Interestingly though, there is a sequence that shows him having refined manners when he eats at a restaurant along with his wife.

But the more important point is that he uses his wife for his sexual pleasure, unmindful of how she feels. This point, for a change, is not exaggerated and comes across as a genuine issue.

Impressive performances

The film also takes potshots at the religious practices people undertaking a trip to Sabarimala are expected to follow.

While the story has characters that have evolved to drive home the point that men are monsters, women are victims and that marriage is an institution through which men exploit women, it has some fine performances coming in from its actors.

Aishwarya Rajesh, who plays the daughter-in-law, does a mighty fine job of portraying the pain of a woman who has no respite from the monotonous and strenuous lifestyle that women lead.

She does justice to her part. One, invariably, can relate to her character and empathise with it.

Poster Nandhakumar, who plays the father-in-law, delivers an equally impressive performance.

The film is of relatively short duration but comes across as long because of the repetitive sequences that are necessary to make the point the filmmaker is looking to convey.

In all, Kannan’s The Great Indian Kitchen comes across as a film that might not be everybody’s cup of tea.

Trailer of ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’ Tamil remake is out

 alt=

The trailer of the Tamil remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam film ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’, directed and written by Jeo Baby is out. Aishwarya Rajesh reprises the role of Nimisha Sajayan in the Tamil version film directed by Kannan, who has directed films like ‘Jayamkonden’, ‘Kanden Kathalai’, ‘Settai’, among others.

Rahul Raveendran plays the role Suraj Venjaramoodu did in the original. There is no change in the movie title in Tamil.

From the trailer, it looks like the makers have retained all the scenes and dialogues in the film, which speaks largely about the dilemma a woman undergoes in her marital home. The movie also points a finger at the expectations that people have about married women.
