Really well made and gutsy film, considering the political context. The script keeps it personal without falling into direct social or political comment and tight editing keeps it engaging to the very end. Some of it - the experience of the hijra temple - is a bit fantasy-land, but charming enough to be excused. Zakir Hussain's tabla playing is the icing on the cake... A must watch, if only to salute the courage to put out an independent film with this context and face up to the bigotry of our times in India.
