Shakuntala Devi

watched #ShakuntalaDevi : if you are watching this movie with an expectation of understanding the hard work, Challenges faced and efforts put in by Shakuntala Devi to become the Human Computer as we know her, then you are in for a great disappointment!!!

But if you are looking to understand the ups and downs that happen in the life of a Genius and her relationship with her normal parents, normal husband and normal daughter then you are in for a treat!!! and the director makes sure to prepare you in the first scene itself _/\_

The movie very well portrays how many Genius/successful persons though praised by millions of outsiders fail to get the same respect and love from their own. And in this aspect, it is more or less similar to "My Father Gandhi!!!"

Acting wise Vidya Balan has nailed it as usual with her effortless portrayal showcasing various emotions and has been very well supported by Sanya Malhotra with her terrific performance.

Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta though they had limited roles, made their presence felt

PS : When all the Kangana's and Tapsee's are fighting over to take credit on who is the flag bearer for female centric movies....Vidya Balan has been the unsung heroine in this!!!
