However, when they come together and express their love and concern for one another via their deeds, they find a bit of happiness, which gives them the strength to face life’s challenges and go forward with a positive outlook.

Film “Thodi Si Khushi – A Bit of Happiness”, breaks the preconceived notion of normalcy. It is a story about a couple, made of a man and a trans person. The kick is the transperson is working and running the house, whereas the man is a house-man.

Typical Indian family system is mostly patriarchal and the film attempts to break that system by showing a trans-person as a house-running person.

It also try to burst the taboo around a relationship with a trans-person.

The film attempts to see a trans-person with a fresh gaze, by avoiding the sympathy, which helps the character to stand strong.

The film also attempts to show a trans-person in an unorthodox way. Mostly, a trans-person is shown as a sex-worker, dancer or beggar. This ugly and pitiful representation is avoided in this film.

I many ways, film try to redefine the normalcy and empower the trans-person community in a context of typical Indian orthodox and patriarchal society.
