Naireeta Dasgupta, a young filmmaker from Kolkata, is receiving praise for her Hindi short film 'Night Queen'. The 35-minute long film tells the story of a 48-year-old woman from Lucknow living in the body of a man. The film explores themes of courage, self-love, and breaking glass ceilings. Naireeta was deeply affected by the struggles faced by the transgender community and decided to make a film about it. Despite going over budget, the film was made with the support of talented technicians and actors. Naireeta has previously directed two critically acclaimed shorts.
