This play is being presented keeping in mind issues of the upliftment, downfall and identity of the Biden community. The plot of the play revolves around and provides glimpses into the unique and unpredictable realities of the women, girls and boys of the community, who traverse the journey from singing and dancing in local festivals and weddings to creating a niche fro themselves on the stage, and finally ending up in beer bars.

The play also aims to throw light on the struggle of the Biden women to win respect and recognition of their identities. Despite the difficulties in the way, these brave and resilient women do not give up and do not hesitate even in going to court, where they finally win their battle for identity and respect. Having faced disappointment from the Thakur’s side, Leela once again raises questions before society and goes on to celebrate a colour-drenched Holi.
