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.

What’s There?

  • Vidya did her job excellently well
  • The dialogues and screenplay are fantastic
