Haripriya, better known as Dr. Haripriya Namboodiri is a rarety in the world of the art form "Kathakali", a classical dance-theatre from Kerala (India). Breaching the traditions of Kathakali, centuries-old, strictly guarded male bastion, the petite performer has made a mark as a sthree vesham (female characters) specialist in a gamut of roles that include Lalita, Urvashi, Damayanti, Pootana etc. Traditionally the female roles in Kathakali were performed by male dancers as it was believed to be an art form made exclusively for male performers. Haripriya, who also holds her PhD in Kathakali was successful in transcending the strict discipline of Kathakali to gracefully infuse the emotive aspects and create a holistic experience for the audience, especially while dealing with female characters. The late bloomer, as she calls herself, made up for lost time by training with three successive gurus, from different schools. In her own words, in Kathakali being a woman actor is not at all a welcome idea. A female artist is tested at all levels before she is taken seriously. Haripriya, through her hard work, has challanged this norm of Kathakali and has made her male contemporaries question their conventional ideas about the performance. This film is an attempt to follow Haripriya's journey from an ordinary woman to a successful performer of a complex classical art form which was conventionally performed more by male-artists.
