Mrs Review: Sanya Malhotra Shines In Hindi Remake Of The Great Indian Kitchen

The Hindi remake Mrs., directed by Arati Kadav, brings the story of The Great Indian Kitchen to life with Sanya Malhotra in the lead. Set in urban North India, it mirrors the struggles of a newly married woman, Richa, who is confined to domestic duties while her husband and family impose traditional gender roles. The film’s kitchen, though brighter than the original, still symbolizes the oppressive weight of domestic labor.

Kadav adapts the film with a fresh perspective, keeping the essence of the original while adding cultural nuances. The film sheds light on Richa’s daily grind, from cooking elaborate meals to dealing with her husband's apathy, highlighting the pressures women face in marriage.

Sanya Malhotra delivers a compelling performance, skillfully portraying Richa’s frustration, vulnerability, and eventual assertion. While Mrs. loses some rawness of its predecessor, it remains a powerful statement about women's struggles. The film is a worthwhile adaptation, combining fresh insights with a familiar storyline.
