Shaakuntalam Premiere Show Review: Everyone wants to see the important moments of the epic Mahabharata in the form of a movie. We have seen the story of Mahabharata many times, but no one has shown the story of Goddess Shakuntala in detail till now. In the old Movies, it was limited to only one or two scenes, but why no one has made her story in full as a movie. Famous director Gunasekhar sensed all this and immediately discussed with Dil Raju and made a film called Shakunthalam with Samantha. This is his dream project. Recently, the premiere shows of this film were shown at Prasad Multiplex in Hyderabad. Let's see in this review what kind of response has been received from the audience and whether the movie has reached the expectations or not.
Story:
This is the story between his parents Dushyanta Maharaja and Shakuntala before the beginning of Bharata's empire. One day after they got married, Durvasa Mahamani came as a guest to their cottage, Dushyanta Maharaja and Shakuntala Devi's lack of hospitality, and Durvasa Mahama's hospitality while beating Dushyanta Maharaja and wandering in his world. forget to do. Enraged, Durvasa Mahanu curses that he will forget about whomever you are talking about. After that, what kind of situations Shakuntala Devi faced, how she reached Dushyanta Maharaja beyond Durvasa Mahama's curse is to be seen on the silver screen.
Analysis:
It is not enough to have a great story, the screenplay should also match it, the result of the movie will be different if either of these two is lacking. That is what Gunasekhar did in the case of Shakunthalam. The screenplay of this film is not at all appealing to the original audience, the graphics are very poor. When telling a big story, with a huge budget, quality graphic work should be done. But I don't know if Guna Shekhar felt that his market is big and took a risk to put a big budget, but he gave a very poor output in terms of graphics. Samantha's acting is good, but dubbing. I felt that it would have been better if some care had been taken in the matter. The rest of the Actors also acted well within their scope but the movie feels boring while watching it, which is a big minus of this movie. It remains to be seen whether the same response will be received from the audience for this movie which is going to be released in Ellundi.
