Arrah (also spelled as Ara, though not much as aarah or araah) is a town in the Bhojpur district in Bihar, almost 50 km from Patna. Anarkali is a character famous from the Hindi film Mughal-e-Azam who was ordered to be buried alive by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, but the authenticity of the story, which is found in texts from the time of Jehangir himself, cannot be proved.
Nonetheless, Anarkali has become popular as a beautiful dancer, and to an extent as a brave/fearless person too, and that seems to be the inference that is used here in the name of the film Anarkali of Aarah. That is, the movie is about a girl who is a beautiful dancer from the town of Arrah.

Nil Battey Sannata Meaning
Nil Battey Sannata means nothing, or if you'd allow me, 'absolutely nothing.'
Nil is an English word, which means zero, nothing. So that part is clear.
BaTTey or baTey (or baTe, or baTay) is a Hindi term from mathematics, which means 'divided by,' and is used most commonly as 'upon' part in fractions, separating the numerator and the denominator. The word actually comes from Hindi 'banTe' which means 'divided.'
SannaaTa is Hindi/Urdu for silence, mostly used to signify acute silence. However, the meaning of nil baTTey sannaTa has nothing to do with mathematics as such, because sannaTa, even when used as Zero, would give undefined result. Instead, nil baTTey sannaTa is a term to say 'nothing' in a proverbial, dramatic manner.
Though, living in Hindi heartland, I've heard Zero baTey sannaTa a lot more times than the rarely heard Nil baTTey SannaTa. Maybe it's part of the updated slang. And if not, I guess it could now be that.
