A Terrific Film That Strips Toxic Patriarchy To Its Disgusting Naked Self!
The film is a reflection on how those practicing misogyny and patriarchy are often ignorant and actually think that they are doing the right thing. This is also that rare film that doesn't shy away from pointing out from where this belief of self righteousness stems from. The final stretch of the film is a hard hitting take on how religion treats the female gender. God is Love, they say. But we now see how peope who consider themselves pure by sticking to religious customs aren't able to show love to the women in their own family.(more)

Cinematography and editing too have to be mentioned. (more)

An excellent family drama
With a well-written script, Jeo Baby narrates the story in an engaging manner. The visuals, the music, and the editing are perfectly in tune with the mood. The delicious frames move slowly and repeatedly showing vegetables being cut, food cooked, served hot n the table, cleaning the vessels and table that we become a part of the daily mundane routine.
