I had the privilege of previewing Samyukta Vijayan's thought-provoking film, Blue Sunshine. This Tamil feature film of about 90 mins duration delves into the intricate world of gender identity, expertly weaving a narrative that challenges societal norms.

The film follows Arvind, a private school teacher, as he transitions into Bhanu, a young woman, navigating the complexities of self-discovery. Through Bhanu's journey, Samyukta a trans female herself, sheds light on pressing issues surrounding gender and sexuality. This film is not autobiographical & I was impressed by her bold conviction to make this film for the sake of others, who may not be as lucky as she is, in her gender identity and transition, that was well supported. Lovely choice of film's title too, since it has its own eloquence interns of the metaphor.

Each character in the film serves a purpose, conveying the director's message about societal expectations and acceptance. What struck me most was the film's ability to humanize characters as victims of the ecosystems they are exposed to, though they sometimes seem stereotypical. Samyukta tries neatly to break those barriers and make it a safer happier place for all. I am sure it will touch a lot of hearts & minds.

One scene stole my heart: the poignant conversation between Bhanu and her infertile female cousin emoted perfectly by Semmalar Annam. Amongst other things like her husband appreciating Bhanu in front of his own wife, the pleas by Annam's character, especially the last question 'if Bhanu will be able to beget a child' was poignant. Bhanu just shakes her head in silence and there again was a fabulous actor playing the protagonist - the director Samyukta herself. This brief, yet powerful exchange encapsulates one of the film's strong points for me. The uncertainty of LGBTQ+ life's existence and the need of accepting others in our life without judgment.

Blue Sunshine urges us to question our rigid perspectives and confront the unknown. As we navigate life's mysteries, science, spirituality, and philosophy, we're reminded that empathy and understanding are essential. This life is too short to be spent otherwise.

Samyukta's direction masterfully balances sensitivity and conviction, making Blue Sunshine a needed watch. This film isn't just about gender identity; it's about embracing our shared humanity.
