"The film ''Narthagi'' tentatively scheduled to be releasedon February 14 has no obscene scenes or dialogues whichprevent children from viewing it. It is the first attempt toportray the lives of transgenders by a woman director,Vijayapadma," Kalki told reporters here.

Kalki said that though Censor Board members are drawnfrom various walks of life, they had shown their "ignoranceand total lack of understanding on transgenders'' issues" bygiving the film an ''A'' certificate.
