Plot

Set in the backdrop of Midunu Vishwaya (Frozen Cosmos), the movie follows the journey of Warenya and Rajini, two souls whose paths intersect in the most unexpected way. Warenya, an expert in Western acting techniques and psychoanalysis, meets the extraordinary student Sumadya. What sets Sumadya apart is her unique ability to enter a deep hypnotic trance, transcending space and time during Warenya's mental exercises. Through this trance, the remarkable connection between the past and present is established.

During one of these hypnotic sessions, Sumadya becomes a conduit for Rajini, a renowned actress from the 1960s. This extraordinary link allows Rajini to communicate with Warenya, residing in the year 2020. Rajini seizes this unprecedented opportunity to learn the art of acting from Warenya, leading to an unbreakable connection that transcends time.

As Rajini finds professional growth through this unique connection, she also yearns for intimacy and love. Her solace lies in the bond she shares with Warenya, a connection that flourishes across temporal boundaries. However, their love is contingent upon Sumadya maintaining her role as a conduit, and this revelation adds a layer of complexity to their relationship.

Through a profound realization, Warenya and Rajini recognize that their true adversary isn't destiny itself, but the inexorable force of time. As their affection deepens and challenges arise, they come to terms with the separate lives they must lead in their respective eras. This acceptance leads them to a bittersweet decision, as they embrace time's limitations on their connection.[5]
