Sanya Malhotra serves a pungent yet insightful menu on Mrs. A remake of Joe Baby's Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen, director Arati Kadav hits home with its simple yet poignant narrative on how women are forced to comply with the patriarchal framework of society, in this case, marriage. Sanya plays the ebullient new bride, Richa. "It resonated with me on so many levels. I have seen Richa in my mother, as well as in my friends and others. It is so relevant and it is time to redefine present gender roles.
