'Shaakuntalam' is a Telugu flick written and directed by Gunasekhar.
The movie stars Samantha and Dev Mohan.
The Telugu flick is based on Kalidasa's epic 'Abhijnana Shakuntalam.
The film tells the love story of King Dushyant and Shakuntala, daughter of sage Vishwamitra and Menaka.
The movie has a fantastic performance by Samantha, but it is not enough to save the film.
The slow-paced narration and poor VFX play spoilsport.
The major attraction of 'Shaakuntalam' is Allu Arha, daughter of Allu Arjun who made her debut as a child artiste.
Overall, it is just an average flick.
