The romance here is ethereal and confused. Critics panned the film, but one thing stood out: Anushka’s ability to sell a reincarnated romance —the idea that love can survive death, but not human memory. The scene where her past-life lover touches her face, and she recoils, only to then weep, is pure art.
Before Baahubali , there was Arundhati —a film that redefined Telugu horror. Here, the romance is a ghost story. Anushka plays Arundhati, a 20th-century woman who is the reincarnation of a 14th-century dancer, Jejamma.
