Njan Marykutty
Njan Marykutty (transl. I am Marykutty) is a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language drama film written and directed by Ranjith Sankar and co-produced with Jayasurya. The film stars Jayasurya as a trans woman named Marykutty, with Innocent, Jewel Mary, Jins Baskar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Aju Varghese and Joju George in other prominent roles. The music for the film was composed by Anand Madhusoodhanan. The film was released on 15 June 2018 on the eve of Eid.
Marykutty, a transgender woman, strives to embrace her true identity in a society that stigmatizes gender transformation. Will she triumph against the societal taboos surrounding transgender individuals and the prejudices linked to gender-affirming surgery?
The film aims to educate the audience on various issues faced by transgender people, highlighting the distinction between being transgender and undergoing surgery to align with one's gender identity. It portrays the emotional and physical trauma experienced by transgender individuals and their families, inflicted by societal and governmental oppression. Through its narrative, the film sheds light on the challenges and resilience of the transgender community.
Mathukutty, assigned male at birth, undergoes sex reassignment surgery and becomes Marykutty, a transgender woman. She leaves her job in Chennai and returns to her hometown. While her father and sister disown her due to her sexuality, her mother continues to support her. Marykutty lives with her friend Jovi and Jovi's child, Tanu. Determined to set an example in society, she aspires to become a sub-inspector and joins a coaching institute to prepare for the exam. Despite being mistreated by her peers daily, she perseveres and also joins the church's radio programme, eventually becoming the host of the show "Jingle" under the name RJ Angel.
One day, while traveling with her colleague RJ Alwin Henry, they encounter S.I. Kunjippalu, a corrupt police officer who demands a bribe. When Marykutty questions his actions, she is mistreated by the officers, leading to a conflict between her and Kunjippalu.
Marykutty rises to fame as a radio jockey in her town, with her program becoming a significant success. However, her application to the Kerala Public Service Union is rejected due to a lack of gender-related certificates. One night, while fulfilling Tanu's wish to buy Al-Faham chicken, Marykutty is harassed by a group of youngsters. SI Kunjipallu intervenes, taking her to the station and humiliating her. Her father visits the station and urges her to leave. Devastated, Marykutty is eventually released with the help of a church father, but her reputation is tarnished by negative portrayals in the local newspapers.
After this, Marykutty moves to a church-run home, where she tutors children. She visits her mother one day, unaware that her sister's engagement ceremony is taking place. Her father and sister disown her, introducing her as an "Unknown" to the guests. Despite being hurt, Marykutty leaves with a smile, telling her mother they will accept her one day. Leveraging her fame as RJ Angel, she befriends the District Collector, who helps her with her application and offers support.
With firm determination, Marykutty diligently prepares for her exam, successfully passing both the written and physical tests. When SI Kunjipallu threatens to defame her, she bravely asserts that "the world is for the talented, not just for men or women." Marykutty assures her sister's fiancé that she will not interfere in their lives and promises to give her share to her sister.
