Akshata Pai

Loved the movie! Each character seemed truly unique and real. Predictable in some ways, but a wonderful movie regardless.

Preeti Panigrahi- take a bow! What a brilliant actress! Kani Kusruti as well. Each and every emotion is so beautifully portrayed. Movie can feel a little slow at times, but I guess that’s only because we’ve been watching loud annoyance in the name of movies, of late. At least in Bollywood. This movie was such a breath of fresh air.

Kind of a weak adaptation of the original Malayalam movie- The Great Indian Kitchen, although Sanya has done such a brilliant job in what she was offered. Her facial expressions convey the tumult she goes through. The kind of toxic patriarchy portrayed in the movie still prevalent in many Indian households can be quite triggering for some women. I felt that most scenes that left a lasting impact in the original- like the repetitive routine, the stigma around menstruation, the way the woman vigorously washes her hands each night to take the smell off her hands, and many such things were watered down heavily in this adaptation, and hence, the frustration that keeps building up wasn’t very evident. The original is brilliant. Please do give it a C watch. Added note- it’s quite telling that almost all the 1 star ratings of this movie are by men who think this movie is unrealistic and made to make men look bad whereas almost all the 5 star ratings are by women who know that situations like these are real. Open your eyes, dear men. Patriarchy is real. Definitely so in India, educated households regardless. Raise your sons right.

Incredibly painful to watch . Boringly poor movie with the most soulless songs ever. No storyline as such, and a complete waste of 2 hours! Animation is the only decent part of the movie. Don’t waste time and money. Stay home and watch on OTT when they release it. 🫠

I don’t know why people keep giving $hit to Ananya Pandey, for she’s really good. It doesn’t even come across like she’s acting in this movie, such natural acting. Very relatable film. New age addiction to social media and how fake it can actually be. Siddhanth is fantastic too, as is Kalki. Loved the movie. So light and funny and sweet. Stresses on how important tour tribe and the ppl you surround yourself with, can be.

Loved the show! This is the first K-drama I watched. Started cuz I wanted to see what the fuss about Kdramas was about, and then got hooked on to the lead actors. Especially Captain Ri 😍 All the actors are brilliant, right from the lead, second leads, villain, and the supporting cast. I can watch it al over again! :D

Oh dear lord! Couldn’t get past the first 20 mins of the movie😫 The movie set is garish and loud. It looks so fake, don’t even get me started on what ‘Bangalore’ has been shown to be. Painfully unfunny.

Why Netflix chose this movie is a bigger mystery than this movie can ever be! One of the most pathetic, if not the most pathetic movie I’ve ever seen on Netflix. Absolutely no logic, so many jarring loopholes and the sets look like a 5 year old designed them. Also, Jacqueline has the emotional range of a teaspoon. If a movie is not worth watching even in a pandemic with nothing much to do, it says a lot for the movie 😖 And oh, from the way it ends, looks like they are gonna be coming up with part 2. Please Netflix. I’ll start a petition to donate all salaries to you, but please don’t be so desperate 😫
