The film is a biopic of ‘Human Computer’ Shakuntala Devi. Shakuntala is basically on a journey to Devi, who used to solve complex mathematical puzzles in a pinch, without any mechanical help. That too from the age of just five. Due to this talent, the name of his name continued to ring in the whole world from Mysore. Interestingly, the film also explores other issues, thanks to Shakuntala Devi, her family, Shakuntala’s daughter and her relatives.

The story of Shakuntala Devi is surrounded by questions

It deals with a difficult question that ‘the world has to win and it has to stick to one place’. There is theoretical in both listening and doing. It is not in the control of humans to convert it into practice. The character of Shakuntala Devi carries this duality from childhood to old age. The personal life of a genius can be so complicated, it is surprising when it is discovered. Shakuntala is a genius and the geniuses have a lot of questions. Due to those questions, Shakuntala remains angry with her mother till the last stage of her age. The ways of living the life of your appa or father keep haunting him. Especially when her divorced sister Sharda dies at an early age.

Shakuntala Devi has been questioning the modalities of the world

She questions pug pag on the ways of the world. She does not spare even her own people if she does not get a satisfactory answer. Whether father or two lovers Dheeraj, Havier and Findley husband Paritosh too. Dheeraj meets her in Bangalore and Havier in London. Both do not fit into the deep desires of Shakuntala’s Armaan and Samudra. Paritosh also does not want to be a stepmother of Shakuntala.

The right place given to each character in the story

Director Anu Menon has described the story from the perspective of Shakuntala’s mother and a successful woman. Also, Anu Menon has given equal space to the vision of Shakuntala’s daughter Anupama and husband Paritosh. Through this, Anu Menon also expresses the buried hopes, aspirations, duality of the children, whose family is very successful. In such a situation, they are naturally compared to family members. The result is rebellion. The film presents her in a very natural way.

Vidya gave life to a character

Vidya Balan flawlessly presents the view of the highly successful Shakuntala Devi. He has made the journey from young Shakuntala to elderly Shakuntala interesting, exciting, thoughtful. Often successful people, especially women, still wish to behave the same type of behavior as a housewife. she is wrong. Vidya has kept it in an effective manner. In the desire for success, the effect of going far away from his loved ones has also become worth seeing. Vidya has been given the role of Vidya as Mother India of today for her mother’s roles.

Side characters used correctly

Sanya Malhotra has given appropriate form to the anger and desires of Anupama Banerjee’s mother. She has not started over the top anywhere. Amit Sadh has come to a standstill in the role of Anupama’s husband. As a man who silently supports his wife, that character seems to be unaccountable. Jishu Sengupta has done a lot of compilation of Vidya Balan in the role of Paritosh.

Play the story properly

The story of the film keeps coming in the past, present in a lawn linear manner. The screenplay is written accurately. All the events keep coming at the right time. The songs leave the musical effect. Japan’s DOP Kiyoki Nakahara has given Tanji earlier. This time he has captured London, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mumbai very well. Most of the scenes are of indoor, but the film is visually good.

Director Anu Menon has told a level, layered story. It asks relatives and children to participate in relationships most equally. She asks to appreciate, care and understand each other. There is a modern and progressive interpretation of the interrelationship of mother, daughter and mian-biwi here.
