The Great Indian Kitchen wins the ‘German Star of India’ award at 18th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart
Jeo Baby’s much discussed feature film ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’ has been awarded the ‘German Star of India’ in the feature film category of the 18th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart . Due to covid 19 pandemic, Europe’s largest festival of Indian film had to switch to digital cinema.
“It is a homage to the young and strong Indian wife who tries to break out of old traditions and structures, longing for appreciation and self-development.” Jeo Baby said.
The movie showcased oppressive routine of housework, Indian cooking, and sacrificial service to husband and father-in-law. He said his movie is a shout out and protest against injustice towards a homemaker who is always taken for granted by men of the house.
