Shaakuntalam Movie Review
Despite the positive reception, the movie’s box office collection in India has been disappointing. On the other hand, the movie’s success in the USA can be attributed to a strong overseas market for Telugu cinema, as well as the fact that the movie was released in a larger number of screens in the USA compared to India. This has resulted in a larger box office collection in the USA.
In the movie, the lead character of Shakuntala is played by Samantha, while Dev Mohan portrays Dushyanta, the king of the Puru dynasty. Supporting roles are performed by Mohan Babu, Jisshu Sengupta, Madhoo, Gautami, Aditi Balan, and Ananya Nagalla. The cinematography is helmed by Sekhar V. Joseph, a skilled cinematographer known for his work in films such as Eega, Kumari 21F, and Uppena. He brought his unique style and visual flair to Shaakuntalam, enhancing the film’s overall look and feel.
