Plot

The life of a married girl who finds her identity amidst navigating her life in kitchen.

Richa, an educated dancer, finds herself in an arranged marriage to Diwakar, a doctor in a very traditional and patriarchal family. While her domestic routine 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 mother-in-law hands the toothbrush to the father-in-law while he is lounging by the verandah. The men eat their meals first and leave the place a mess without concern for how the women can eat food after them. Despite her initial adjustments to the kitchen duties, little does Richa know that the real trouble would begin once her mother-in-law is compelled to leave for some time.

Diwakar's attitude towards Richa has also slowly begun to change; while he once adored her for her "kitchen smell", he ignores her pleas for repair work in the kitchen, and later, when forcibly trying to have sex with her to get her pregnant, he rebuffs her demands for intimacy. 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. She is left alone to handle guests, their backhanded patriarchal comments, and the trauma of being away from all she used to be.

Shortly after Diwakar asks her to delete her dance videos from her social media accounts, Richa wonders if being in this marriage is worth it. During a birthday party for her father-in-law, she eventually broods over the burden of it and finally decides to avenge the trauma by serving guests the dirty leakage water from the kitchen sink as a beverage. Diwakar strikes towards the kitchen in anger with his father right behind him, only for Richa, who is ready with the bucket of leakage water, to fling it onto Diwakar in frustration as she storms out of the house without the guests noticing, implying she would divorce him. The film ends with a scene showing Richa as an independent dance teacher portraying her pains through a dance routine. At the same time, Diwakar is married again, and the second wife seems happy to serve them, blissfully unaware of the horrors that await her.
