“Aurora” is Anne’s third movie in 2018, after the huge box office success of “Sid & Aya” (Not a Love Story) last May, followed by her staggering performance in the action thriller “BuyBust” in August last year.
The movie revolves around Anne’s character Leana, a young innkeeper who helps recover the bodies of the missing passengers for a promised reward. Over a thousand passengers perish when a passenger ship named “Aurora” collides into a rocky shore. Many of the dead bodies turn up along the shore of the tiny island near the shipwreck, but many are still missing, and their distressed families are in need of a place to stay in as the search continues.
