After watching Jeo Baby s film entitled The Great Indian Kitchen , I failed to recall the names of the characters in it. So, I instantly checked the information on Wikipedia, only to find Nimisha Sajayan s character being described there as the wife , and Suraj Venjaramoodu s as the husband . They are newlyweds. For the bulk of the film, the wife describes the husband as etta , and the latter calls the former edi .
Most Indian families probably function like the household in Baby s film. A household where the head of the family always looks at the daughter-in-law with a male gaze. The old man cannot even walk a few steps to take his toothbrush, so he tells the daughter-in-law to get it for him. It makes her wonder what am I supposed to do here other than doing the dishes, sweeping the floor, and running the kitchen.
