Films depicting the ‘T’ in LGBT are rare in Mollywood and transgenders who are present in cinema are often portrayed as petty criminals or perverts. For too long, Soothradharan’s Leelakrishna remained the archetype for trans-characters. Jayasuriya manages to give a powerful and convincing portrayal of a trans-woman – one who is strong and calm and dare I say fierce. Supported by a strong cast who all performed excellently, this film is a must watch.
