So what is 14525686 * 124762048 = ???????.......the time taken for understanding this equation is proportional to time taken by this brilliant lady to answer it.
“Shakuntala Devi” is an OTT release over Amazon Prime featuring Vidya Balan as the lead actress. The viewers on Amazon have increased since then. The movie is a biography of an Indian lady who was also known as the “HUMAN COMPUTER”. The movie is a perfect blend of laughter and emotion, the comic timing, acting, dialogues and more so the importance of family has been depicted beautifully.
The movie can be summarized into three parts. The first one involves the hardships faced by Shakuntala as a child, the way she recognizes her inner talent and taking up shows school to school to make a livelihood for her family. She drops her formal education at a young age and slowly starts developing hatred for her parents because of her family circumstances.
The second part mainly features her escape to London to pursue her love for mathematics. She takes up stage shows and soon becomes a star. However, she leaves her family behind. She soon gets married and is blessed with a beautiful baby girl. However, love for mathematics takes a toll and her relationship with her husband and daughter gets hampered. The third and the most important part features the turmoil between family. An amazing presentation of mother and daughter bonding and relationship.
Vidya Balan as the lead actress is nothing short of exemplary. Every scene has been mastered beautifully and it shows her versatility with comic timing and aggression at the same time. Saniya Malhotra as her daughter too has played her part to perfection. Rest of the cast and crew too fits smoothly. The direction is seemingly well and situational songs give this movie an edge.
The best part portrayed by this movie is one where you understand that name and fame might make you rich but family love is something which is not something to be compromised upon. The moment Shakuntala realizes her mistake towards her parents it is too late as they are no more. When the same situation arises between her and her daughter the tables take a turn for the worse.
The movie focuses on her journey both professionally and personally. The numbers are shown dancing in front of Shakuntala’s eyes and we as viewers feel the same joy. Certain dialogues like the one which speaks that ‘koi mother kabhi perfect nhi ho skti’ hits you hard about sacrifices made by a mother.
PS – ‘Add your family, subtract your ego, multiply your joy and divide your sorrows – a perfect blend of mathematics equation’.
