Films have consistently served as a narrative medium reflecting the discourses of male patriarchy in society throughout the ages. In particular, a significant portion of Indian cinema perpetuates male- centric stereotypes, depicting women as the weaker sex—an inaccurate representation of reality. Joe Baby's Malayalam film, 'The Great Indian Kitchen,' meticulously replicates prevalent customs dictating women's roles and explores various aspects of women's emancipation. The film delves into the frustration and discontent experienced by a married woman, highlighting her struggle to conform to the traditional patriarchal roles of being a wife and daughter-in-law. By the film's conclusion, it unravels her journey as she breaks free from the confines of this stereotypical system.This paper aims to focus on the deconstruction of women stereotypes ingrained in our society, with a specific examination of how 'The Great Indian Kitchen,' directed by Joe Baby, portrays and challenges these beliefs within the context of typical Indian societal norms. Employing a discourse analysis method, the film is scrutinized to derive meaningful findings.

Cinema is the most significant form of art and the most profound communication tool. Pariyerum Perumal is a thought-provoking Tamil film directed by Mari Selvaraj. This film looks deeply into the persistent caste myths in Indian society, particularly on the suffering of the Dalit group (formerly known as "untouchables"), the story of Pariyan, a young Dalit student who wants to be a lawyer. Pariyan struggles with the harsh reality of prejudice and caste-based discrimination in a rural Indian setting while he pursues his education. In the story, Pariyan is isolated from his upper-caste colleagues in college and experiences violence and humiliation due to the sharp caste-based division pervasive in society. The film Pariyerum Perumal shows underprivileged groups' tenacity and struggle to claim their identity and dignity. Pariyan is adamant about overcoming trials and obstacles to achieve his goals and free himself from caste oppression. The movie fiercely refutes the idea of caste superiority and exposes the sneaky prejudices based on caste, even among those who appear progressive. This article focused on how Pariyerum Perumal portrays the caste-based problems afflicting modern India painfully and realistically. It sparks crucial dialogues on caste prejudice, violence, and the pressing need for societal transformation to destroy the antiquated caste myths that still exclude and oppress millions of people in the nation.

This investigation surfaces a thought of change in peoples’ priorities toward Interior design of space during the Pandemic outbreak. It re-examines the issues that influenced the change in the overall arrangement of a physical space. Five constructs were identified to validate the paradigm shift in peoples’ approach to dealing with spatial areas specifically in housing during the pandemic outbreak. The research study has shown a strong paradigm shift in the resident’s approach to the interior design of housing. The research study also discusses about the issues faced while stay at home during COVID-19, spatial layout during the pandemic, the utility of space during the pandemic, and targeting to achieve the required resilience through design implications. There were 404 participants considered in the structured questionnaire survey where the snowball sample technique to distribute among the policymakers, planners, architects, interior designers, and general citizens, from various residential areas in the Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) i.e., Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula who responded on varied issues faced during COVID-19.The outlook of people’s approach and interior design community to post-COVID has offered a new opportunity to re-look at the spatial arrangement of interior space. The residential dwelling units that were earlier considered for relaxation, safety, and storage are now considered for online classes, office work, play areas, recreation, and exercise areas. The post-COVID-19 era has changed the outlook of habitable space by providing a new thought process to visualize a spatial layout uniquely, which may further full-fill multiple interests at the same time.The research study not only focuses on residential dwelling units but also on the way people used their spaces and issues faced. Lack of proper spaces for classes, meetings, office works and other interested have changed the outlook people have perceive their spaces. And spaces during Covid-19 era have offered a fresh opportunity to rethink the design of any habitable space. Spaces with better adaptability, natural light, ventilation, and open spaces may have more potential of resilience than the space having poor ventilation, dingy and no open spaces.

This investigation surfaces a thought of change in peoples’ priorities toward Interior design of space during the Pandemic outbreak. It re-examines the issues that influenced the change in the overall arrangement of a physical space. Five constructs were identified to validate the paradigm shift in peoples’ approach to dealing with spatial areas specifically in housing during the pandemic outbreak. The research study has shown a strong paradigm shift in the resident’s approach to the interior design of housing. The research study also discusses about the issues faced while stay at home during COVID-19, spatial layout during the pandemic, the utility of space during the pandemic, and targeting to achieve the required resilience through design implications. There were 404 participants considered in the structured questionnaire survey where the snowball sample technique to distribute among the policymakers, planners, architects, interior designers, and general citizens, from various residential areas in the Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) i.e., Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula who responded on varied issues faced during COVID-19.The outlook of people’s approach and interior design community to post-COVID has offered a new opportunity to re-look at the spatial arrangement of interior space.
