Malayalam movie Oru Mexican Aparatha, starring Tovino Thomas and Neeraj Madhav, performed well at the Kerala box office, and even before its theatrical release, the song Emanmare Emanmare was a hit on social media for being a protest track against fascist ideologies in Kerala.
Now, the song has received a female version with a group of young woman and transgender people seeking their rights in the society, and asks for freedom, equality and protest against violence against women. Youth for Gender Justice has come up with the song, for which they have changed the lyrics from the original.
