Neela nira sooriyan

Indian | 2023 | 157 minutes | Tamil

Neela Nira Sooriyan is a moving exploration of identity and courage, wrapped in the story of a small-town South Indian schoolteacher named Aravind. Set in a conservative community, the film takes us through Aravind’s journey as he steps into his true self, Bhanu, while coping with the challenges of transitioning within a traditional social fabric. The movie is good because it shows real struggles and relationships.
