"He's a near mirror image of his father, a man who expects his wife to apply toothpaste on his brush and give it in the morning as he rests on an easy chair. The father abhors modern, labour saving machines — and why not, when there are women to function like machines for him? Interestingly, neither man is physically violent; even when they disagree and put down the women, they do it with sweet smiles. That is what makes The Great Indian Kitchen different from the average film on unhappy marriages. There is no overt domestic violence, the issues are not a matter of life and death. Yet, they are, ultimately, issues that drain the life out of women, inch by inch."
