a brilliant summary of sexuality

the movie is based on the sexuality of transvestite who happens to come in contact with a rape victim. The movie revolves around the relationship between these two people. The story is good except reintroduction of the villains out of nowhere in the end of the movie makes it little repetitive.While leaving minor details, the movie seems to have powerful reach into the human sexuality, and it seems to portray the power of women in a positive plight. Furthermore, the movie also explores the rights of the people who are not part of the mainstream society namely the gays and lesbians.The movie goes deeper into their emotions and how they also face discrimination from society for no fault of theirs.

Amol Palekar and Nirmal Pandey's brilliance

This movie is absolute classic. The way the subject has been dealt with and the philosphy this movie aims to give to the audience.

Daayra is very unusual story revolves around a girl (Sonali Kulkarni) who is abducted but manages to run away. He finds shelter with a transvestite(Nirmal Pandey). She is helpless and even raped one day. Nirmal Pandey tries to help her with philosphy and ask her to transform her personality into a man so that he feels safe in the world. He teaches her how to become a man in this world.

The movie is actually the relationship between Sonali Kulkari, the girl and Nirmal Pandey, the transvestite. The beauty of the movie lies in their relationship and the philosphy which Nirmal Verma provides. Each and every philosphy is an strong comment on our so called society.

Many dialouges of the movie will remain with you for a long time. Like when the girl is raped, the transvestite tries to console him - Izzat koi chamdi ka tukda nahi jise loota jaa sake(Respect is not piece of flesh which can be taken away).

There is a scene when the girl meets trasvestite for the first time. The girls asks why you are dressed like a woman. Trasvestite replies "Jo jaisa andar se hai, usey waisa hi bahar se dikhna chahiy(What we feel from inside, our outside personality should also reflect the same)".

Nirmal Pandey is just terrific as The Transvestite and Sonali Kulkarni as the girl is just amazing. Both have given one of their best performances.

Amol Palekar's direction is just top notch. He successfully proves his point and hits hard at our society.
