As always amazing acting by Vidya

Sanya and Amit are really good too I liked their scenes a lot. I think Amit’s character was my favourite

The portrayal of Shakuntala is real, they have shown her as a flawed human with challenging relationships with her parents, ex-husband and daughter. Sometimes you love her sometimes you are annoyed with the character like in real life

Watched the film... I loved it... Stayed true to the name of biopic... Nothing larger than life , shown with all her defaults ... Vidya earned the film...

Wonderful film, loved it.

Loved it. VB was so good. Hope more such movies are made.

As a movie....writing and execution could have been better....song sequences felt unnecessary......but the fact that this was chosen to be made into a movie deserves appreciation.

Loved the movie! Gave me a bit of English Vinglish vibe❤️ I was intrigued throughout the movie...not one dull moment. Loved the dialogues when Shakuntala would question partiality between men women 😆 The mother daughter love hate rship was handled well and nothing looked OTT. I think after Dangal, this could have been one great film to watch on big screen but never mind. I'm glad that something worthwhile came out after a long time.

I was skeptical after watching trailer but after watching movie, I didn't feel Vidya overacted except at some places.This might be intentional to keep movie lively and to show Shakunta confident. After all it's Bollywood movie. Her interactions and overseas scenes were gripping.Emotional scenes were very touching. I almost hated Shakunta's character for being selfish many times, vidya was so believable. It was honest movie that reflected genius of shakuntla as well highlighted flaws honestly.Vidya is excellent 3/5

Loved it...!!!

Vidya was superb...so was Sanaya!

Watched the movie with low expectations as was underwhelmed by the trailer, but wow, the movie was so good and beyond my expectations.

Vidya was just brilliant. Any lesser actress, and Shakuntala Devi would have ended up as a caricature. Vidya made her endearing and charming. Sanya was the perfect foil for Vidya n Kudos to her for holding her own against Vidya. Loved all the relationship dynamics showed, but especially the husband-wife and mother-daughter one.

Also I'm so glad a mother-daughter relationship was explored, with all its complexities, which is so rare in BW.

Btw logged into IF after ages, as couldn't help but post about the movie. Will watch it again. 😀
