Cast

Plot

A village lad, who wants to be an actor, performs a Lavanda Naach at a wedding, after which his father calls him a Namard (not a man), and throws him out of his house.^[2] After the incident, his masculinity was also questioned due to cross dressing as a woman. He goes to Mumbai and becomes the biggest Bhojpuri film star.^[3]

Reception

Scholarly Response

Akshaya Kumar, in one of his articles, writes that "the film sets in motion a dialogue about cultural practices that defy the feudal family and awaken its ‘deviant’ anxieties". At the same time, he discard the film as a challenge to the established idea of Heteronormativity, as the climax of the film reduces it to a familial matter, where the protagonist (Khesari Lal Yadav), gives an interview after becoming a superstar, and barely challenges any idea of Heteronormativity. Kumar, calls the climax as the triumph of Patriarchal order. At the same time, he believes that despite an affiliation with familial honour, Khesari has "introduced a discomforting force in the narrative frame".^[3]
