Once More (2026)

Once More (2026) Synopsis: A Tamil Romance About Second Chances

Once More (ஒன்ஸ் மோர்) centres on Raghuvaran, played by Arjun Das, a man still weighed down by loss. Grief has made him closed off and wary of letting anyone new into his life.

That changes when Anjali, played by Aditi Shankar, enters the picture. She is persistent, inventive and willing to try almost anything to break through his defences and win his affection. Raghuvaran, however, is not looking for love. That push and pull drives the film’s romance and much of its comedy.

The story asks whether affection we once gave away can find its way back to us, even through someone unexpected. Music sits at the heart of the film, and the tone moves between light-hearted humour and quieter emotional moments. It is a story about healing, moving forward and making peace with the past. This guide covers only the premise, so the details of how Raghuvaran and Anjali’s story unfolds are left for viewers to discover.
