The film also stars Kanwaljit Singh as her father in law. He demands pot-cooked biryani, fresh rotis and to be heard the instant he calls on her. When the new bride is asked by her husband to touch his feet, she rebels. “Kya kar loge (What can you do)?” she asks him.

The original The Great Indian Kitchen

Jeo Baby's Malayalam original starred Nimisha Sajayan as the new bride who learns how her married life wasn't at all what she was hoping for. The HT review of the film read, “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.”
