Navarasa weaves an Indian transgender tale

Navarasa weaves an Indian transgender tale Transwomen in India believe they are the reincarnation of Lord Krishna, even if others won't even consider them to be human beings. Film director Santosh Sivan has put his award-winning skills and vision into "Navarasa" (Nine Emotions) to see the "third gender" become accepted, a combined feature/documentary with "real transvestites" in leading roles.

When he runs away to get married at the Koovagam festival, she sets out to save him.�
