Mohini: Men in Sarees (2019)
Directed by Sharmila Rajaram Shinde1h 7m
'Mohini' follows Marathi Television Actress Sharmila Rajaram Shinde as she tries to satiate her curiosity about the crossdresser folk dancers of Maharashtra. After a chance encounter with a male lavni artist, Shinde takes us along on her journey of insights she gathers about the art, history and taboo surrounding the dance form. From the formation of 'Bin Baykancha Tamasha' an all-male lavni troupe to the hurdles that the homophobic Indian society creates in the artistic expression of the male lavni dancers, the film shows the glittery side of the painted faces as well as the dark side after the curtain falls.
