Sanya Malhotra’s modish release, Mrs., is stirring up conversations quite far beyond the big screen!
The film, which sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of housewives, has received an outpouring of backing from Indian women. But not everyone is applauding.
The Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF) has taken to X (formerly Twitter), slamming the film for promoting what they hold “unnecessary feminism.” One twirp read, “Cooking is like meditation,” sparking widespread backlash.
Social media users swiftly clapped back, with one viral post quipping, “Cook three meals a day and then talk about meditation!”
Amid the uproar, producer Harman Baweja kept his nerveless. Speaking to News18 Showsha, he said, “Every place is unique. Mrs. tells the story of one woman’s experience—it’s not a cover statement on all households. At its nucleus, it’s virtually mutual respect.”
Reflecting on his own lifespan, he added, “My wife and I support each other. That’s the essence we aimed to capture.”
Based on the acclaimed The Great Indian Kitchen, Mrs. isn’t just about household chores—it’s sparking essential conversations on gender roles in modern India.
