OMG hijRa KTHNXBYE



yeah... so can we see nava rasa ("the nine emotions") now?

the main character, swetha, interacts with her uncle gautam, who is secretly a hijRa - and is played by the female actor khushboo.
The world seems to be opening up to thirteen-year-old Swetha as she takes her first hesitant step towards adulthood - till she discovers her uncle Gautam is leading a secret life. He transforms into a woman every night.

When Swetha confronts him, he wants to run away from home and marry the god Aravan at the annual Koovagam Festival in a small town in South India where people of the third gender ritually reënact his story.

Swetha embarks on a journey to find her uncle and bring him back, and in the process discovers a whole new world, a new culture and new friends, that of the third gender, which she tries to understand.

can we see it now? pleeease?
