Director Gunasekhar’s Telugu film Shaakuntalam, a retelling of Shakuntala’s story from Mahabharata, is an ambitious experiment. The makers hope that the audience will be awed by the romance between Shakuntala and Dushyant and the origin story of king Bharath in 3D. If the contemporary audience can watch international superhero and fantasy stories, why not a tale from our epics? The intent is appreciable and the director gets Samantha Ruth Prabhu to portray Shakuntala’s resilience and the actor is convincing. But the film falls woefully short in its technical finesse and the screenplay, too, is choppy.

One of the better segments of Shaakuntalam, though melodramatic, unfolds in the court of Dushyant (Dev Mohan), the king of the Puru dynasty. Shakuntala’s adopted mother (Gauthami) and friends (Adarsh Balakrishna and Yash Puri) from Kanva maharshi’s ashram are at a loss to help Shakuntala after Dushyant declares that he has never seen her so that he may accept her as his wife or her unborn child as his own. Shakuntala, who until then silently takes in the heartbreak and disappointment, speaks up and confronts the king, only to be humiliated. Samantha and Dev Mohan make the scene stand out.
