With Ayushman Khurana & Vaani Kapoor it was going to be an experience. It is. Dealing with a transgender, not an easy topic. The jeering , social stigma is all there. The acceptance is the question.
Ayushman’s family of dadaji, sisters, father who form a compact family. He owns a gym & wants to participate in an annual competition. He has two buddies, telling one from the other is tough with their similar clothes & pony tails.
Zumba teacher Maanvi fetches many students & her charm has Ayushman falling for her. Everything is well till she reveals she is a trans. All hell is let loose. He believes he has been cheated.
A free biology lesson could have been avoided. The end comes as no surprise. When is is accepted in front of the crowds, the whole family cheers.
I recollect ‘Weight lifting fairy Kim Bok joo’, she wins the bout & the reporters are taking her interview. She finds Nam joo hyuk in the crowd & hugs him. Their being in relationship helped. Their scenes are so natural.
The director Abhishek Kapoor deserves praise for dealing with the subject delicately. Kudos to him.
