Priyasakhi Climax Roast

Priyasakhi one-liner plot: An overgrown male baby couldn't leave his mom and family - but still wants a wife and a kid, villainizing her for wanting an independent life with him.

Yep, the whole movie is a big pain in the neck. But the climax takes the cake for being the biggest pain in the a$$.

So, toward the end, Priya (Sada), realizes that she loves her daughter and couldn't abandon her, going through with the divorce and full child custody to Sakhi (Madhavan) and his family. When she says that she can't leave her 3 month old daughter, Sakhi says the absurdity of the Indian family system.

"You feel pain for leaving your child you gave birth to only 3 months ago. I'm 30. You tried to separate me from my family. How much pain I must have felt?"

Hello, didn't Priya leave her family after marrying Sakhi? If men can't leave their families after becoming a married adult, just marry your family - not a woman.

Lol, equating himself - a grown a$$ man who became a father - to a breastfeeding baby. Just men being proud of never leaving the baby to toddler stage. But want a woman as a wife and children through her.

"You said this house is hell. Then why do you want to stay here? Your heaven is waiting there. Go."

Like all married women in Indian society, Priya has accepted the hell her husband's family is as her heaven. And she was portrayed as evil for wanting to live as she did before marriage. Sakhi's life didn't change. He doesn't have to change a thing. Priya has to change everything but is evil for wanting to live like she used to in certain aspects.

"What's the big fight among us? She says I read her diary. But she has written rubbish in it."

Indian men have no freaking idea about boundaries when it comes to women. Whenever I don't see or reply to Indian men's message, they straight up video call me. Often, they disrupt my sleep, work, and Teams meeting. No matter what she wrote in her diary, it's her personal thing. You can be her husband and yet, you must KEEP OUT.

"If you expected me to be like your father, always submissive to your mother, I wouldn't have married you!"

Agreed. No one should submit to their partner. But Sakhi wanted Priya to toe his line - he wanted her to be like her submissive father and he is like her dominant mother. Well, guess Charlie Kirk would've loved this scene.

"You didn't want this baby. From where did this love sprout?"

Um. That's her body. Her choice. But Sakhi forced her to have the child. Y'all gotta watch the show, "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant." It's a show about cryptic pregnancy. The women didn't experience signs of pregnancy and only realise they're having a baby when they went into labor. They kept the kid they didn't want. I became a dog mom unexpectedly when I was 16. I didn't want a dog. He just came into my life and I loved him. 

"You failed as a man because you let your wife lord over you."

This emotional film is just a choir echoing Indian patriarchy. It reiterates again and again that women must be submissive and adjust while men must dominate and keep women in their place.

But all of it is done so subtly, disguised as love and family values, I didn't have the tongue to discern it when this movie was released. But we don't stay clueless tongue-less for long, do we?
