		Adapted from a novel by Dr S L Byrappa, the film deftly uses the theme of reincarnation to embark on a fascinating journey of exploring human belief in faith from a variety of angles, ensuring that it is another great work from the man who created films like Ghattashraddha, Thayi Saheeba, Dweepa and Haseena.
