Shaakuntalam: Candid Review! Cash-grab movie!..
Shaakuntalam, a poor cash-grab movie starring samantha Ruth Prabhu, is even worse by the standards of the bygone period.
Shaakuntalam, directed by Gunasekhar, would presumably be listed under drama in the children's section of your movie library. because adults should not watch this movie. indian mythology served as inspiration for the tale of love, curse, and redemption known as Shaakuntalam. Sadly, none of those clichés can be found in this film.
In the well-known tale Shaakuntalam, a stunning woman marries king Dushyanta in an unusual ceremony known as Gandharva vivaha. Her situation worsens when she attracts the anger of Saint Durvasa and is cursed, which causes Dushyanta to lose all memory of her.The ring Dushyanta gave Shakuntala can be used to break the curse, but sadly, it ends up in the sea and is eaten by a fish. Director-writer gunasekhar falls short of the drama and emotional depth this narrative so well deserves. The film expects that viewers will enjoy seeing a computer-generated white tiger and will overlook its lack of aesthetic worth. At this point, one could hope for a curse to erase this movie from our memories.
If you can't emphasise a legendary story's philosophical and moral lessons, what's the sense of making a movie about it? gunasekhar made a movie that superficially jumps from one incident to the next without any emotional depth, showing that he clearly didn't fully understand the plot and the wisdom of the subject he was dealing with. And gunasekhar hasn't even considered how to make the Shaakuntala story pertinent to those who live in the twenty-first century.
