Anahat was screened as the opening film of the 2003 Indian Panorama, an International film festival.[2][3][4] It was also screened at Jerusalem Film Festival in 2011 along with five other movies.[5][6]

Plot

Anahat is set in the 10th century AD in Shravasti, the capital of the Kingdom of Malla. It revolves around two individuals — the king of Malla (Anant Nag), who is unable to father an heir, and the Queen, Sheelavati (Sonali Bendre), who is forced to choose a potent mate for one night. But, while the queen is ordered to merely produce an heir through the prevalent custom of Niyoga, she enjoys the sexual act without hurting her husband and comes to realize what her life is missing (in terms of sexual fulfillment).[7][8]

Reception

Pankaj Upadhyaya of Rediff wrote that "In the final reckoning, it's a simple story simply told. The camera works efficiently. The actors, for the most part, have just been allowed to be themselves"[9]
