Nevertheless, Sood’s astute and remarkable craft achieves a rhythm, dignity and tonality that makes Transit fascinating and worth-watching. For Tiger Baby, its an expansion of their slate that encompasses transgender representations – be it the scripted ‘Made-in-Heaven’ or the unscripted one.

Despite these limitations, it’s the lived experiences that stand out. The vulnerabilities speak loudest. And perhaps, that’s the quiet power of In Transit. For even when the storytelling stumbles, the stories don’t. They linger, asking not just to be seen, but to be remembered. Because what’s truly in transit here is not just identity, but empathy.

The interrogation is nurtured at the idea of giving every desire a name, every experience a definitive call. Even within the community, how must a trans woman perform? How are they expected to behave? These ideas arrive from a deeply heteronormative culture. As these individuals will only take a willingness to unlearn and reorient the ways we look, categorise, and decide.
