l03 Swaranika adhikary

The extraordinary story of Shakuntala Devi, the world-renowned mathematician who lived her life on her own terms. While the film pays tribute to her genius as a mathematician, it also humanizes her as a woman and mother, in trying to capture her indomitable spirit. Told through the lens of her relationship with her daughter Anu, the film highlights their very different struggles and aspirations. Its a journey of breaking down stereotypes and finding your own voice. Far from the melodramatic portrayal of a mother in bollywood movies, this is a welcome change. Mathematicians needn't have boring lives, that's again something new! Vidya Balan steals the show, when she's on screen, can't help but watch her transform from the chirpy young girl to a woman with her own struggles. This biopic is great way to let people know about indian talent in mathematics.
