Shaakuntalam, director Guna Sekhar’s much-awaited mythological epic featuring Samantha in the titular role, has been released worldwide theaters this Friday. Samantha and the whole unit of the film were very confident about the success of the film before the release. However, Shaakuntalam has disappointed the audience, and now it has become an epic disaster at the Box Office.
Shaakuntalam has been made with a budget of almost 80 Crores and the gross for the 1st weekend of the film was just 8 Crores and these are the least collections for a high-budget movie. The share is not even in the range of 4 Crores and from today there is no possibility for the film to get any share. So by looking at the current situation, the closing share of the movie is 4 Crores and hence it has become an epic disaster.
The film had all the required elements to be an engaging romantic drama with a mythological backdrop, but the ineffective narration and zero emotions made the film a bland affair and the audience could not connect to the characters or the film.
Made on a massive budget, Shaakuntalam is based on the internationally acclaimed Kalidasa’s Sanskrit play ‘Abhijnana Shaakuntalam’ was released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. The film, which has been released in 3D as well, is presented by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations together with Gunaa Team works and produced by Neelima Guna.
Guna Sekhar directed Samantha’s Shaakuntalam. Dev Mohan played King Dushyant’s role in this flick, while Allu Arjun’s daughter Allu Arha appeared as Prince Bharata. Aditi Balan, Prakash Raj, Gauthami, Madhu Bala, Sachin Khedekar, Mohan Babu and Ananya Nagalla appeared in crucial roles. Mani Sharma composed the tunes for this film.
