🎭 Plot Summary:

Ardh follows the story of Shiva, a struggling actor in Mumbai who disguises himself as a transgender person to earn a livelihood on the streets. Despite being a talented theatre artist, societal barriers, poverty, and the harsh realities of life keep him from fulfilling his dreams.

Through Shiva’s journey, the film explores themes of poverty, identity, survival, dreams, and human resilience. It presents a raw yet poetic portrait of people living on the margins of society and what they sacrifice to survive in a ruthless city.
