Queens! Destiny of Dance (15) LIFF

LONDON INDIAN FILM FESTIVAL

Wed 27 June

Glamour, treachery, dancing and fab outfits; Queen’s Destiny of Dance is set in a palace owned by head transvestite Ammu, played by Seema Biswas (of ‘Bandit Queen’ fame). Ammu is a mother figure to a gaggle of gorgeous transvestites, but all hell breaks out when Ammu swtiches her affections from her ageing favourite Mukta, to a new ‘girl’ Nandini, who is not only more beautiful and younger than the Mukta, but also a better dancer!

Dir. David Atkins /112m/ 2011/Hindi/Subtitled

Cast: Seema Biswas, Vineeth, Laximi Narayan Tripathi
