The Great Indian Kitchen tells the story of a young newly married woman who struggles to adjust to the conservative views of her husband and his family, facing belittling whenever she tries to voice her concerns. As the instances get worse, she finds it difficult to suppress her emotions at the many indignities she has to face.
