But the film leaves the viewer with a chilling doubt. Was Kushal actually Anthony? Or was he a lonely man so consumed by the tragedy of a historical figure that he fabricated a life around it? Fe Nullioner Script Better Apr 2026
Is it forgiveness? Or is it a trap?
There is a moment in Srijit Mukherji’s Jaatishwar (The Reincarnation) where the line between history and present, between the ridiculous and the sublime, utterly dissolves. It is a film that demands to be taken seriously, yet it dresses its most profound truths in the garish costumes of a stage musical. To discuss Jaatishwar merely as a romantic thriller or a reincarnation drama is to miss the haunting melancholy that anchors its soul.
The tragedy deepens if you consider the latter. If Kushal was just a madman, then his suffering was self-inflicted. But the film leans heavily into the supernatural. The final shot suggests that Anthony’s soul has finally found release, not through vengeance, but through the completion of the story. He forced the reincarnation of his murderer to acknowledge his existence. Jaatishwar is a film about the burden of love. Hensman Anthony loved Sangeeta, and because he died with that love unfulfilled, he condemned himself to a life of waiting. He returned as Kushal Hajra, sacrificing a normal life to inhabit the identity of a long-dead bard.
