A Slap for Patriarchy
17 January 2021
2021 is starting amazing atleast concerning Malayalam cinema! A hart hitting perfectly drafted story confronting the viewer with the harsh reality of many indian women in society. The theme revolves around cooking&the kitchen, in which most of the storyline is set in. This movie reveals the deeply ingrained patriacharl mindset of todays men, who take their wifes work for granted and enslave them for the sake of tradition and convenience. It also deals with religion and its impact on womans role in society, questioning the practice of isolating women during their periods, because they are considered as ,, impure". Its also an important watch, because it brings up the right questions like amidst all this tiring work& cooking& attending mens' needs you are wondering if the woman will ever find time to go after her passion and fulfill her needs. Its a must watch and really empowering for every woman! The actors perfomances are excellent especially from the protagonist, the camera shoots/technique was carried out perfectly & reinforces the films message.
