Since there are no LGBT rights in Pakistan, there is no such thing as an official LGBT community. The sizable transgender community, frequently referred to as "Hijras," is the only sexual minority community that is largely tolerated. The story revolves around four characters and their internal struggles, also the ongoing game of "hide and seek" with the general populace in Pakistan's urban centers. Jenny, a transsexual college student who recently underwent castration, is the person we follow in this bold movie. Waseem, an effeminate wedding performer and seasoned dancing boy, Kami, a fearless cross-dressing gay dancer who lives openly with his boyfriend, and Neeli, who was instrumental in the Supreme Court of Pakistan's decision to modify the Constitution to support the "third gender," all live in the same house. The film has several interesting and engaging elements and it supports a very bold narrative that needs to be highlighted. The film should be watched by all.
