If you have any cultural interest in India (mine's from watching Bollywood films). You will find this documentary fascinating.
I had the opportunity to see it at Outfest 2006 in Los Angeles, with the director present for Q&A, and I have to say I was riveted throughout the screening.
It is rare to get such a candid portrait of queer/transgendered culture in India.
I viewed it along with a second doc, "Happy Hookers," about male sex workers in Bombay. While it was not a good of a film, it is definitely an interesting watch, if you are interested in queer Indian culture.
