Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a popular actress, is currently occupied with her upcoming projects, Citadel and Kushi. Unfortunately, her latest release, Shaakuntalam, directed by Gunasekhar, failed to perform well at the box office.
There are reports suggesting that Shaakuntalam will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on May 12, 2023. However, no official statement from the streaming service has been issued yet.
The film, Shaakuntalam, marked the debut of Arha Arjun, the daughter of Allu Arjun. It also stars Mohan Babu, Prakash Raj, Aditi Balan, Gauthami, Ananya Nagalla, Allu Arha, and Kabir Duhan Singh in prominent roles. The movie was produced by Neelima Guna and features music composed by Manisharma.
Critics and audience members alike were disappointed with the special effects in the film, as they failed to impress and even made certain reality scenes appear cartoonish. This was particularly noticeable in the war sequences, which were supposed to be intense and thrilling but instead came across as unrealistic and jarring.
Additionally, the dramatic element of the film felt out of place and failed to connect emotionally with the audience. Many viewers found themselves unable to empathize with the characters or feel invested in their storylines, leading to a lackluster experience overall.
Even the poetic dialogues, which were meant to be a highlight of the film, lacked impact and failed to hold the audience’s attention. Many viewers found them uninteresting and forgettable, and they did not contribute to the overall quality of the movie.
Overall, the film’s poor execution of special effects, lack of emotional depth, and unremarkable dialogues left many viewers disappointed and underwhelmed.
