"Never try to be different. Society fears what it doesn't understand "
Movie - Superdeluxe
                             
 She is a transwomen who returns to her abandoned wife and son after many years. While the whole family is shocked and distraught after seeing her as a women the only person who is pleased is her little son Rasakutty. He has promised his friends that he would introduce his father to them as soon as he returns and put an end to everyone teasing him by calling a test tube baby. When Rasakutty asks her why she turned into a women she tells her that sometimes god makes a mistake in hurry just like when we put wrong shoe in wrong foot ;god made an error and doctor corrected it. But she had to face the disparaging remarks of her own relatives, lewd behavior of strangers, molestation and assaults by police. She isn't allowed to enter her son's school and loses her son on her way back to home. She gets petrified, searches for him for days and fights against her deep buried agony and guilt. She once trafficked two children in the past for some meagre sum of money and found those very two children later on footpath begging except that now one had lost his eye and other his leg. She assumes its her punishment for that past sin until she finds her son safe and sound at the home.We can see her as vulnerable yet audacious, a victim of society yet a fighter when she retaliated against the policeman who questions her feminity. She is cheerful yet carries a baggage of sorrow and guilt in her heart and is definitely one of the most impactful character ever seen on celluloid.
