One such movie with very skillfully woven scathing humour about patriarchy is Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey. Check out our analysis of this drama starring darshana Rajendran and Basil Joseph.
Jayabharathi (Darshana Rajendran) was raised in a family of idealists. Her late indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi, is someone her father wishes her to emulate. However, after getting married to Rajesh (Basil Joseph), a proprietor of a poultry farm, her life ends up being much like any other ordinary indian woman's existence. Rajesh is a stereotypically patriarchal indian spouse. He slaps his wife after she fails to prepare his usual breakfast one day. His arrogant demeanour persists. Things get serious as his wife chooses to slap him back.

However, Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey separates apart from the competition by tackling a serious subject in a lighthearted manner. Each character in the story is memorable and has a lot of relatability. It is one of those comedies that simultaneously makes you laugh and reflect on the horrible patriarchal mindset in our culture. Basil Joseph and darshana Rajendran both gave standout performances in the movie. darshana is a standout performer despite having few dialogue scenes in the movie.
