Njan Marykutty

First malayalam movie to shoe the story of a transgender. Ranjith Shankar could have done a lot better with this opportunity. The direction and not so strong screenplay holds the movie back. Jayasurya's performance is the main factor which keeps the movie's pace.

The best depiction of transgender in this movie an eye opener for our society and jayasurya the best choice to show it to our society

It is a fabulous movie which completly explains how to get out off the closet in an arrogant, drastic and horrendous community. Mr. Jayasurya who plays the lead charactor in this movie, taken his all efforts to show what all stigma has to be get rid off from the society in this 21st century. Its a completly wow movie, which gives us travel through his transexual life in day to day hurdles.

Liked the film very much. Thanks to jayasurya for his courage to take this role. Really inspiring film. Everyone should see thus film. Must watch. You will love this. Really an inspiring work to elevating a community needed to be uplifted to the front row. Its a thrilling film which i assure you. Please do watch the film and encourage these type of courageous works and entertain these type of films. These type of films will uplift our society and uplift the perspectives of people to a long extend. In the mean while it entertains and thrills you. It's a brilliant work for sure and everyone needs applause.

I came across this GEM, and was so excited of sharing it with YOU

This is a Malayalam movie - NJAN MARYKUTTY (Meaning - I am Marykutty)

It is a story of a TRANS-SEXUAL

The story is simple. A boy has a girl's psyche and wants to be a girl from his childhood. He wears bangles, anklets, lipstick and saree... He is teased when young and hides his feminine inclinations and sexuality.

Only after he grows up he gets courage (at age of 27 years) to come out openly about his trans-sexual gender identity.

The story is about the struggles, type of discrimination and prejudice she faces in Indian society and work place and how she deals with it with utmost dignity..

The inspiration of the movie came while Director Ranjith found trans people easily integrated with respect in normal society in western countries and he wanted to make such a character based movie in Indian context. The director conceived the story and Jayasurya liked ti so much that he started the company to produced it. Jayasurya has acted brilliantly in portraying the role and I think he will win a few awards.

Earlier in past - this actor - director combo have tried to experiment in their previous collaborations too and came out with decent movies - I have seen one of that.

The movie is getting rave reviews. Kerala being high on literacy it has also opened well at the box office.The timing of the movie is perfect because Government of Kerala too has come out with various schemes to help trans-people

Jayasurya had to undergone amazing transformation as a trans person by imbibing the way they walk, talk, pronounce, act, feel, hide, fear, express, and emote so many emotions differently. It must have been a herculean tasks portrayed brilliantly with so much subtlety. The movie goes into the minds of the trans people with sensitivity and tenderness.

The song that is top of the chart is excellent - Doore Doore..

By the way, on the same date another Malayam movie is released of super star Mammootty - "Peranbu" and the unique clash between these two movies is that the heroine of Peranbu is Anjali Ameer is a transgender in real life. Hats off to Mammootty too for the same. Hats off to Malayalam film industry for taking GIANT strides.

I will go with 7 out of 10 for this well made movie
