Shaakuntalam

Shaakuntalam. The spectacular visuals of the film and Samantha's Shakuntalam look were praised by everyone. With Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Dev Mohan, Mohan Babu, Aditi Balan.

However, the makers have arranged for a special premiere for critics, fans, and a select audience. Shaakuntalam movie review: Weak writing and undercooked VFX makes Samantha Ruth Prabhu's film an underwhelming watch. The film is based on Kalidasa's popular play Abhignyana.

And films like Everything Everywhere All At Once, Stree, Andhadhund have proved that we do not need big budgets or superstars to back a blockbuster.

Based on a popular play Abhignyana Shakuntalam by Kalidasa, the film features Samantha in the titular role of Shakuntala and Dev Mohan as Dushyanta, the king of Puru dynasty along with Mohan.

The eternal love story of Shakuntala and Dushyant is one of the most memorable tales from the Mahabharata era but unfortunately, very few people know about this and that's why filmmaker Gunasekhar is retelling it with Shaakuntalam, which is based on Kalidasa's Abhignyana Shakuntalam. The makers hope that the audience will be awed by the romance. The spectacular visuals of the film and Samantha's Shakuntalam look were praised by everyone.
