Plot
Shakuntala is a brainy kid right from her birth. When her talent for mathematical calculations is revealed, her father started doing shows with her and making money. Shakuntala developed her language not in schools but by communicating with people. She did a lot of mathematical magic shows in India and abroad and earned name and fame. Shakuntala got married to Paritosh Banerji, who understood her and her passion and let her free to continue her career. He cared for their daughter as a single parent when Shakuntala was away. But, Shakuntala missed her daughter badly and decided to take her with her, wherever she goes. This doesn’t go well with Paritosh and the fight leads to a divorce. Shakuntala cared for her daughter and developed her knowledge, with her excellent teaching skills. But, there comes a day, when her daughter files a case against her. What happened between them? Why did she file a lawsuit? Watch the film to know the rest.
Star Performance
Vidya Balan is a wonderful actress and she had always stepped into the shoes of the characters, which she undertakes. The same goes for Shakuntala Devi. Vidya has excelled in her role and her expressions and body language are fantastic. Her dialogue delivery is terrific too. Jisshu and Sanya had done their part sensitively.
Analysis
Anu Menon made the script and screenplay well to impress the audience. Shakuntala Devi breaks all the biopic templates and stands unique. Besides showcasing the talents of Shakuntala Devi, the director had showcased her weak points, her affection towards her daughter, her impression on her parents and bonding with her sister, etc. The stars are handpicked and everyone had done the job well. Tiny expressions have the power to pull the audience and this has worked out well in this film. Right from Araina Nand, the young Shakuntala to Vidya Balan and Sanya, all the actors had some unique expressions and sounds that attract the audience. The production and technical values are good. The dialogues are fantastic too.
