Samantha acting is not connecting the audience till the end. Allu Arha is very cute, but there is no feelings it went like a TV serial, movie is not hukking the audience to the seat...almost slept during watching.
Instead of Samantha, Nithya Menon would be the great choice for Shaakuntalam role. Samantha did not do well as she is going to through too much of personal and health issues.
