shakuntala devi movie review nawawzuddin
For those with an iconic, spot-light public life, whose entry was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records and the jawans fell into world-famous mathematical circles, there is surprisingly little information about what Shakuntala Devi's personal life is known as as a 'human computer'.
Anu Menon's film on the life and times of Shakuntala Devi begins with this denial: it is a film inspired by real events, but not a documentary / biography of the characters portrayed in the film '. Similar to biographical films in Bollywood, there is irony in the film which narrates the story with the help of Anupama Banerjee, the real life daughter of a mathematical genius. So do we believe some of the events we see or are some of the events called ‘creative freedom’?
Shakuntala Devi, played by Vidya Balan Supreme with confidence and confidence, is like a strong, independent woman who is usually away from Bollywood. As a little girl who could be counted on the cube's flash of complex numbers, and as a mathematical prodigy who had lost a 'normal' childhood that a father had dragged her from one show to another, her desire was so clear that in the 1930s children expressed 'not big boss, not bigot'.
Those Shakuntalas can never walk in any line, or any kind of woman can be an ordinary 'woman, the line that makes the film, does well. Especially when we saw her as a young woman, she spent her life in unknown England, speaking the language in brown accents, proudly wearing her colorful sari and piglet. She approaches a man, but we soon realize that Shakuntala Devi does not need male help to support her. She is happy with herself, showcases her amazing skills with numbers, and attracts creepy audiences around the world. He is his own man.
We saw him add these complicated answers, there were too many digits to count and we were just as happy as him. I'm right, Balan asks. Of course, he is. And we are the beam just like her. He then finds a partner (Sengupta) and becomes a mother, and the film turns into a drama about a reluctant mother and an unhappy daughter (Malhotra). Crunchy mother Shakuntala Devi who gives Shakuntala Devi the right opportunity to choose the movie, and after spending more time. Could it be that the numbers are frightening and distracting, and the mum-and-daughters are comforting and reassuring?
You want this picture to be with Shakuntala and the math is a little better. Although she had no clue, it would have been great to explore in depth the process Shakuntala did: the numbers spoke to her. The fact that she had political ambitions (she stood for election, and fought with Indira Gandhi for the Lok Sabha seat in Medak) was briefly written; Her current relationship with her daughter's father is a little more focused on why she wrote a book on homosexuality, the first of its kind in India. What can I tell him about astrology? More light on these tricky topics would give us more round shakuntas.
Balan has the material given to him, it slips every time it is corrected. The supporting cast is good. Sengupta works well with Balan, and Malhotra and Sadh feel right as a modern couple. The film, which is hilarious even in the gray shades of London, slips here and there in flatness. The lines are inconsistent, but sometimes surprisingly contemporary (for example, did anyone say 'take it to the next level' in the 50s?). But then we slip to the right: it's actually Vidya Balan's performance, and she removes it, gleaming in the eye and a twist on the stage
