This is the story of Mohini, a transgender woman, whose life is shattered by a brutal gang rape at the hands of influential figure Manohar and his accomplices. With the courageous support of Shyamala, another transgender, Mohini embarks on a daunting journey through the legal system. "LGBT (A Legal Battle)" intimately portrays her fight for justice, navigating a judiciary often ill-equipped to understand and uphold the rights of transgender individuals. It's a poignant exploration of resilience, vulnerability, and the profound human cost of systemic prejudice.

Mohini

Mohini is a dedicated transgender nurse and a rising social media influencer who inspires her community. Her life is shattered by a brutal gang rape by Manohar and his accomplices. Despite severe threats, Mohini bravely chooses to fight for justice within a prejudiced legal system. Her journey, portrayed authentically by transgender actress Hima Rathod, is one of profound vulnerability and unwavering resilience.

Judge

Sessions Court Judge Initially burdened by his own ingrained prejudices, the Sessions Court Judge presides over Mohini's landmark rape case against three influential figures. As he delves into the proceedings, he is presented with the challenging task of delivering justice in a case without legal precedent in the Indian judicial system—a striking contrast to government reports indicating widespread physical abuse among the transgender community. Through his interactions with Mohini and Shyamala, the Judge undergoes a profound personal transformation, gaining a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by transgender individuals and viewing the case through a newly sensitized lens. This character serves as a powerful mirror for the audience, reflecting how awareness and empathy can overcome deeply held biases. The role is brought to life by veteran Telugu artist LB Sriram, renowned for his iconic performances.

Public Prosecutor

Public Prosecutor An embodiment of fierce compassion, the Public Prosecutor is an empathetic government lawyer who dedicates herself with unwavering passion to Mohini's groundbreaking case. Her professional commitment is put to the ultimate test as she finds herself pitted against her former father-in-law, Janakiram, a formidable and undefeated advocate. Adding to her complex personal battle, she carries the stigma of being a divorcee, a circumstance Janakiram erroneously attributes solely to her, unaware of his son's true identity as a gay man. Despite navigating her own profound challenges and societal judgment, she channels all her formidable intellect and unwavering spirit into securing justice for Mohini, demonstrating remarkable resilience and an unyielding belief in truth. The role is portrayed by Ester Noronha, a popular heroine celebrated across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Konkani cinema.
