A documentary that is the story of the lives of eunuchs. Kinnar who are also known as Hijra in the society. As soon as they are born, they are cursed to hear the criticism and taunts of society, whereas according to their belief, they had received the boon of congratulation in auspicious works from Lord Rama himself. That is why this community was also called Mangalmukhi. This community is found in every city, but still, no city accepts them as its own. This film travels to the world of transgenders along with the Kinnar community. Today this community has also been legally recognized as transgender. Today, many members of this community are moving away from the traditional Toli-Badhaai work and are also earning names in the professions of modeling, acting, medicine, and advocacy.
