Plot
An educated dancer Richa, finds herself in an arranged marriage to a doctor Diwakar in a very traditional and patriarchal family. While the domestic routine of the Wife begins in the sweet bliss of a new marriage, things begin to go south. The drudgery of the kitchen and its many unpleasantries—cleaning, utensils and leaking taps—are left to the women while the men mostly indulge themselves with their phone or yoga. The family is so patriarchal that her daughter-in-law hands the toothbrush to the father-in-law, while he is lounging by the verandah. The men eat their meals first and leaves the place a mess without concern for how the women can eat food after them. Their convenience and comfort always come before consideration for their wives. While the new bride takes a while to adjust to these new surroundings and eventually somewhat makes peace with them, her mother-in-law goes to take care of her daughter who is seven months pregnant.
The whole responsibility of cooking, cleaning and other household chores falls on her. Her egotistical husband is inconsiderate of her needs and feelings. When she tells him that it hurts when having sex and asks for some foreplay, he remarks she seems to know everything on the topic and condescendingly tells her he should be attracted to her for foreplay, making her cry to sleep.
Her father-in-law forbids her from finding employment, citing that a woman in the house brings prosperity to the family. When she gets her periods, she is appalled to discover that the family's beliefs regarding menstruation are extremely regressive. But she enjoys her time alone, her time of rest while her husband is shocked she got her periods at all as he thought they wanted to have a baby. She is left alone to handle guests, patriarchal backhanded comments and is away from all her life used to be.
