But Nageshwar himself has a karmic connection that goes back over hundred years. Movie memories. Whatever we make of them, it's hard to comprehend or contextualize why we remember what we do about the movies we've watched. It's isn't just great performances, brilliant writing, great song or game changing technical innovations that stay on.
It's almost like we are pathologically compelled to attach many bitter sweet remembrances of our lives - like first date, the horrible loo at theatre you saw it in, how much you shelled out to watch the first day first show, the last day of college, or a bad stomach upset you suffered because of a sandwich that didn't go down too well. It's almost like every movie has a little side story attached. Like the random act of having watched a movie at a certain time causes us to forge such a deep connection, that the movie becomes a footnote of a little phase of our lives. Perhaps that's why we go on to develop such fond memories of movie stars overtime that they come to feel almost like extended family. So going to a movie hall to watch the last movie of a celebrated actor - ANR in this case - in it-self becomes a conscious act of taking a trip down the memory lane one last time. So when ANR reminds his grandson Naga Chaitanya 'Na youth lo entha godava chesano.entha romance chesano neeke emi thelusu,' in one episode you it's bound to put a smile on your face.
