After the Indie Round table I want to see this film as well. Please tell us the OTT platform you mentioned in this review. Talking too fast to catch that kind of information properly!

Thanks for the link. This platform is great! I really loved the mosquito philosophy, there was something so feel good about hearing this conversation, like I was also invited to sit at the table with these very ordinary men plus one very real woman. The Gustav Klimt wall was hilarious 😀 but my absolute favourite part was when this malayali husband cleaned up the kitchen and dining room. Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan i ❤ u.
And cinemapreneur also has The Great Indian Kitchen. Next on my list. No men cleaning the kitchen there I hear.
