The concept of Shakuntala Devi is oven-fresh and the handling of a number of sensitive and dramatic moments is noteworthy.

Over-stretched, repetitive and a drag in parts with TVish feel. And Vidya Balan should have understood that this is not a 'Dirty Picture' sequel. It is biography of a mathematician and not of a hooker.

This intriguing film, with its mix of the real and surreal, takes mothers beyond patriarchal frames of reference and gives them liberty to embrace their frailties and dark sides without a care or concern.

Sengupta works well with Balan, and Malhotra and Sadh, as the modern couple, feel right. The film, which stays determinedly cheerful even in the grey hues of London, slides into flatness here and there...

Vidya Balan looks the part of Shakuntala Devi, but [the director and writer] come off as observers who never manage to enter her head.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Inquiry

All-in-all, Shakuntala Devi is very much the epitome of a decent Bollywood biopic. Dramatic moments are inflated and comedic moments are designed to be commercially viable to the masses.
