Ardh a drama film starring Rajpal Yadav and Rubina Dilaik released worldwide on June 10 on one of the over-the-top (OTT) streaming services. The film is written and directed by Palash Muchhal.
Ardh follows the journey of a small-town man Shiva, played by Rajpal Yadav, who wants to become an actor in Mumbai, the city of dreams. Despite being a theatre actor, Shiva struggles to find work and support his family. In order to make money, Shiva pretends to be a transgender woman and begs for money on local trains.
Even though Yadav is a phenomenal actor, his playing the role of a person who pretends to be transgender unintentionally parallels Bollywood regularly casting cisgender people to play the roles of transgender people.
Rubina Dilaik’s role as Madhu, Shiva’s wife marks her debut in Bollywood movies.
Here’s what Twitter had to say about Ardh which is streaming on Zee5.
