Mrs. is a new Hindi film that is creating buzz all over the world. The movie is a remake of Malyalam language film The Great Indian Kitchen and it depicts the reality of so many households in South Asia. Starring Sanya Malhotra, Nishant Dahiya and Kanwaljeet Singh in lead roles, the movie has touched many women and it is also providing lessons to men who try to remain aloof to issues that their wives face in their homes.
The film is beautiful as it is close to reality. This is an abusive marriage, the one which we have seen in our own homes and it does not involve visible violence. The man is not beating the woman, the in-laws are not causing her physical harm but they keep suppressing her personality to the point where she forgets her own self.
Here are some viral clips from the film and they will make you feel like it is your own story.
Sanya Malhotra showed the confusion of every young newly married girl when she had to cook those phulkas to perfection. She would make food for the guests but she will always get criticism on how it was not perfect. Her husband cannot even find his own clothes. The main part of the film is the husband is shown as a gynaecologist who should know about problems women face but inside the heart of his house, he is a simple misogynist who has not been affected by his education:
Mrs wins in the manner that the protagonist does get fed up in the end. It is a soul satisfying scene when she finally throws that tap water on her “perfect” husband’s face:
Mrs also has lessons for parents on how they spoil their sons who end up becoming nightmares for their wives:
