When you are a man, there's not much to be said after you watch a film like #TheGreatIndianKitchen. You watch, you process, and hopefully, you react.
It is important to try to not get defensive; instead, to just try and be more aware, more sensitive.
There's a shot that pans across couple portraits across generations. Such shots typically communicate love and nostalgia, but in this ingenious film, it really brings out decades of tragedy and oppression. Each photo felt like the equivalent of an animal hunter and his trophy.
I saw posts calling those men in her family, evil villains. It's easy to attack them, so we feel like we are not them, like we are different.
However, the film is so much more than just about those men. In fact, I dare say that they are more polite than the average male leader.
It's an important film and I'm glad that it's now airing on a platform where it's likely to get wider attention. It deserves every bit of the praise it gets, every bit of the attention...
As men, pesardhukkulaam onnum illa.
Let's just listen, empathise, process, and contribute.
