HADDI

August and September have been interesting in order to see the progress in how the mainstream Hindi industry is looking at trans folks.

The growing level of their representation, the stories being told without the barriers of 'them & us', the fact that they are more than being the antagonists who look dreadful and people who can be a part of your office team or your manager (Made In Heaven), they can even fight for their rights and be the speaker you listen to and imbibe (Taali). So when Akshat Ajay Sharma writes and directs a crime drama with a trans person in the centre, does he manages to surpass the stereotypes without using them? Pretty much, yes.
