Amazon Prime Movie ‘Shakuntala Devi’ That Sends a Strong Message Across is a Must Watch

The much-anticipated movie ‘Shakuntala Devi’ revolving around the life of the extraordinary mathematician and featuring the magnificent Vidya Balan has finally hit Amazon Prime Video. 

Vidya Balan perfectly portrays the role of the ‘Human Computer’ who was brilliant, charming, and progressive despite coming from a conservative family. A woman who lived unapologetically!

We know of Shakuntala Devi as a brilliant mathematician but very few know the real woman behind the intelligent persona. The movie coerces you to see her through a different lens. Viewers will get to see the varied facets of her dynamic personality. Her character as a daughter, mother, wife, and above all as an independent human being! 

It is interesting to see the modern values rooted in her personality, the manner she broke, and questioned the common stereotypes at every juncture while she kept climbing the ladder. Besides her relationships that failed miserably, the film also explores the complex relationship she shared with her daughter and husband.

At times she comes across as being obstinate and opinionated with her ideas about life and her dreams however she was ready to make changes when it came to the welfare of her family.  

The woman who was ahead of her times thoroughly savored her work although her love for her family was unquestionable. The greatest lesson she taught her daughter played by Sanya Malhotra was to value herself and know her self-worth. 

The Anu Menon directed film is entertaining from start to finish laced with thought-provoking dialogues and every actor has played their part perfectly including Sanya Malhotra, Jisshu Sengupta, and Amit Sadh. Like always Vidya Balan doesn’t fail us with her impeccable acting skills and if you desire to see Vidya’s magic flow on screen, the flick is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
