Honestly you should do more movie reviews. You have done a handful in the past 10 years and this is by far your best.

I saw a whole collection of this movie's review, and you were one of the very few to justify and talk about all the politics and stuff the movie tried to represent mate!! Great, keep going!!❤🥃🥃

also true that there is this whole discrimination thing going mainly because of "caste discrimination" created by the brahminism. (before getting into solely attacking or criticizing this comment, do a little research from the right resources please.)

i get where you're coming from but i do want to caution you from entirely blaming the british colonizers for the transphobia in india. while the hijra community has held cultural significance due to a combination of mythological stories and specific social roles that only the hijra community can fulfill, the community has faced ostracization due to the brahminical caste system for centuries before the british colonized india. the british introduced a specific kind of morality that perhaps worsened this ostracization but it is important to know that undoing the colonial laws is not enough to erase the discriminatory practices in indian culture (which is in turn informed by brahminical practices). that's also what the movie is implying. they are not targeted minorities solely due to colonialism, they are minorities because the hindu caste system deems it so.

Dude every evil in India is not related to "Hindu caste system". Something we must take responsibility ourselves not our ancestors. And don't portray yourself better than any other Indian, you are also the same, in India now every caste celebrates their caste, even lower caste because of reservation. Still there is caste divide and superiority complex but in many regions the picture has turned upside down and inside out. Something about your tone in your comment did not settle well with me hence the long reply. Lol

I guess you are British learned colonial history there, so you won't know the fact that we also blame British for Hindu Muslim divide, that now the BBC chastise Indian government for. But politicians are not social reformers so I guess that's why such divide still fosters and it will never cease because the British carved out Muslim Pakistan and Bangladesh which should never have been. I guess you will never find out because in your eyes all morality emanates from queen (protector of Christianity).
