âTaali' is a biopic of transgender activist Gauri Sawant in which Sushmita Sen essays the titular role.
The trailer shed light on the trials and tribulations of Shreegauri Sawant's life, her daring transformation from Ganesh to Gauri and the discrimination she was subjected to because of that; her fearless journey towards motherhood, and the audacious battle that led to the inclusion and identification of the third gender on every official document in India. Coupled with an inspirational storyline, the series hits the right chords with some thought-provoking dialogues.
