Mrs: 10 tweets that prove netizens found Sanya Malhotra starrer’s take on marriage and patriarchy ‘too real’

by

On February 7, 2025, the movie titled “Mrs.” featuring Sanya Malhotra as the main character was premiered on ZEE5. This film is a reinterpretation of the Malayalam drama The Great Indian Kitchen. Richa, a former dancer, grapples with her life as a housewife following her marriage. Here are 10 tweets that show how viewers found the movie’s portrayal of marriage and patriarchy startlingly authentic.

A significant number of social media users, formerly from Twitter, expressing discontent after viewing the film “Mrs.”, or its popular video snippets, find it remarkably relatable to contemporary society.

One individual expressed, “Ladies, I strongly recommend you watch the MRS film, which offers a potent perspective on marriage, patriarchy, and the silent battles women face at home. I felt exasperated throughout. Your spouse is not your maid, and marriage should not be about servitude. If you’re unwilling to shoulder some responsibilities, you aren’t the ideal partner for any woman.

A different user posted: “In numerous homes today, women are often expected to prepare meals, serve, clean up, and only eat once the men have finished. The show “#mrs” on Zee 5 portrays, both subtly and overtly, how traditional male-dominated norms can restrict a woman’s life after marriage. Regrettably, this series still resonates too closely to reality in the year 2025.

A social media user commented, “The film ‘#Mrs’ affected me not due to its content itself, but because it may portray a reality that many women face, where their best efforts are never deemed sufficient. At what point do we establish boundaries for TOLERANCE? Men should watch this movie to learn what NOT TO DO when they get married.

In response to a scene from the movie where Richa’s father-in-law belittles her for not making hand-ground chutney, a user expressed, “It feels so authentic that it makes you ponder and challenge memories from your childhood of witnessing similar experiences within your family. This film truly keeps you on the verge of tension.

A different take on the same topic reads: “I recently watched Mrs. and my brother, which left me quite frightened. Marriages can indeed be frightening at times. The movie remains relevant as it mirrors certain households in India even today. I had hoped for a more uplifting ending, but perhaps the one provided was a reflection of reality.
