Queens! Destiny of Dance
A film that takes one into the heart of an up-market hijra community run by a lovingly-firm mother-figure called Guru Amma. The story is told through the eyes of a young hijra called MUKTA, beautiful, the best dancer in the community, a natural leader whom all the other 'girls' look up to, and potentially the next Amma of the community. That is until the entry of a total stranger into their midst, a young sixteen-year-old whom Amma names Nandini. Right from the outset, Nandini is an enigma and a mystery, where has she come from? Who has sent her (if at all)? And the purpose of her coming here? And what is she? Is she in actual a goddess as Amma resolutely believes her to be? Is she a female? Is she male? Is she a hijra? The mystery persists throughout.
Director: David Atkins
Starring: Seema Biswas, Vineeth, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi
