Reception

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV writes The Gauri Sawant story's specifics are available to the public. Taali's narrative serves to raise knowledge about the ambitions of the third gender and debunk myths that have kept them from receiving the respect they deserve as citizens of a free country, therefore the recounting does not seem needless. ^[9]
