Namrata Joshi NewsClick 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. Sep 21, 2020 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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... Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian What results is a biopic with genuine character. Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com There’s nothing wrong in Vidya Balan’s performance. There’s just nothing new about it. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider Shakuntala Devi's legend is immense. Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost Vidya Balan looks the part of Shakuntala Devi, but [the director and writer] come off as observers who never manage to enter her head.

Ball S writer] come off as observers who never manage to ente Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review BABABOO 4 Such a great movie. The story, the characters…. A must see for anyone into IT. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Ninik S The concept of Shakuntala Devi is oven-fresh and the handling of a number of sensitive and dramatic moments is noteworthy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Yvonne T I like the film. Nice. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review O C so funny, more than like Japanese Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
