Shaakuntalam (2023)
2/10
Gunashekar wasted an epic
16 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Direction is at its worst. Everything looks unreal.. Costumes, Visuals, Everything looks so cheap that they are brought from koti market.

It was an amazing play by Kalidasa, named Abhignana Shakuntalam and the narration by kalidasa is extraordinary. He made it's one of most powerful play of his works.

But Taking that story, this director almost done prostitution to the story and screenplay. It's shame on such people who wantedly degrade the culture of country.

Overall movie is at its worst. Samantha action and voice is the biggest drawback of the movie as she lost everything on acting as she can sell groundnuts on streets instead of wasting our time on screen. Coming to allu Arha... Is she really necessary? That idiotish behavior of Allu Arjun who arrogantly throwing money everywhere and wantedly imposed his pathetic acting daughter, as main character here made this a huge flop. For boy characters boys will be perfect fit. This is not Bhakta prahallada movie to act extraordinarily in such great roles.

Finally, don't watch this movie in theaters if you are expecting an Epic.

If you want 2 hours time wasting.. Then go.
