Confused movie

Extremely confused movie. Is it about Shakuntala Devi? Her daughter? Her conflicted personal life? Feminism? God knows what. Other than Vidya Balan who is a fantastic actress anyway..... it's a low IQ movie about a high IQ person.

Focuses more on her personal problems

This movie focuses more on her personal issues, family drama and not showing the audience what a true genius she is. The movie is bit over-stretched. Acting was Vidya Balan is good as always along with Jissu and Amit.

Missing the link

Shakuntala Devi.Anu Menon.2020Based on the life journey of profoundly known Human computer aka Shakuntala Devi, the film tries to fit in her 84 glorious years in 120 minutes screen time. The film stabs to touch major life milestones of her life from her genius mathematics career to conflict with her own daughter and to her dilemma in life to her flawed rapport with her husband.But the film fails to bring out her psyche, mental vows and keeps spinning around her analogous achievements throughout. Many of her vital scenes are mere caricaturish portrayal to make it look breezy and to reflect her sense of humor with no depth in it. No doubt Balan tries hard with her accents, body language, hiatuses but still the film lacks in the clarity of thought.
