Shaakuntalam

C

   So out of curiosity, I ended up watching this movie, mainly because I heard it was so negatively received and wanted to know if it is that bad. And as it turns out I liked it. Like, I watched it like three times. I know that the CGI is bad for certain parts. However, there are spots of good CGI here and there. The action scenes were wonky and certain parts of the story could’ve been better explained. Other scenes could’ve just taken out altogether because they added nothing except to sing unnecessary praises.

  The acting overall was good especially Samantha (Shakuntala) and Allu Arjun (Bharata). Dev Mohan (Dushyant) performance was cheese, but I still enjoyed it. He did give a good performance towards the end though despite the language barrier. Costumes and set designs were pretty when they wanted to be. The songs though were just *chef’s kiss* exquisite.

  So yeah, is it that bad? No. Could it have been better? Yep. Did I enjoy myself? Yes!

Dushyanta & Shakuntala

Personally, this story as documented in Mahabharata is a cautionary tale against verbal-only contracts. You should always get things in writing/have neutral witnesses.

The way Dushyanta mansplains, manipulates and basically coerces Shakuntala into being intimate with him is a terrifying read. This is a testament to how women must be overly cautious even now while negotiating any deal.

The first thing Dushyanta does (after finding Shakuntala alone, and gauging exactly how long her father will be gone), is that he confirms her caste status.

Laughable, considering the glass house he has in his skeleton closet (this part is not his fault, but it sure is ironic how he uses the same regressive logic to evaluate the worth of Shakuntala, which can be used to disqualify him from his throne itself if one was feeling vile enough).

The moment that he is assured of her 'good breeding', Dushyanta starts cornering her. While his tone is sweet and polite, it's clear that he intends to fully exploit the fact that he's the local King and Shakuntala is just a law-fearing subject (a young and naive one at that).

Shakuntala however isn't completely clueless. Once it is clear that Dushyanta is in no mood to wait for her father to return (rather he wishes to finish the 'deed' as soon as possible and then run), Shakuntala exacts a promise that Dushyanta will make their future offspring the yuvaraja.

Solid plan. Only one problem, Shakuntala didn't think Dushyanta would be so brazen as to completely deny the whole encounter.

So, when she presents herself and her Sarvadamana in Allahabad, Dushyanta's words hit her like a metaphorical kick in the teeth.

Dushyanta, among other grossly misogynistic comments, calls into question the character- both Shakuntala's and her mother's. He penalizes her for her father's dodgy track record and her mother's perceived lack of morals, by invoking their names and stories to discredit both her honour and honesty.

It is then, that Shakuntala becomes a (n unnecessarily) strong heroine, standing up for both herself and her mother, all the while defending her son's right to his father's throne.

In doing so, dishing it right back to Dushyanta, she brings up the disparity in their births (it's nice to see Shakuntala being proud of her mum...even though that relationship too is a can of worms). She asserts that Dushyanta would not be doing her son a favour if he accepts him now and here, because her son is perfectly capable of taking, in due time, what is owed to him.

Just as she is about to leave, there is this shloka.

In Dr N P Bhaduri's research, he mentions that this shloka is old and unchanged in multiple scriptures. In fact, as per his understanding, it might be pre-Vedic.

Bharasva Putram Dushyanta |

Mavasangstha Shakuntalam ||

Tanchasya Dhata Garbhasya |

Satyamaha Shakuntala ||

In essence, in breaking the metaphor, I assume Dushyanta's ministers remind him of the social clout of Kanva (and that he so callously dragged one of the most powerful rajarshis' name through the mud) and by extension the damage Shakuntala can really do with (both of) her father's help in a Brahman-dominated society, and hence they advise him to give up the ruse and accept both mother and son.

In fact, that is where Bharata gets his name (the bold portion of the shloka)....Bhara (Bharasva) + Ta (Dushyanta).

After the fact obviously Dushyanta gives a very Rama-like excuse...wanted to test her piety, gods' approvals blah blah. As a headcanon, I like to believe that Shakuntala never really forgave him (because that sets a terrible precedent), and neither did Bharata.

As a moral, I would repeat, have written contracts, pre-nups+post-nups, read all the pages, call witnesses and make sure you're actually legally married. Basically, know your rights or you may end up fighting your own case in a biased court sans lawyer.

I still don’t understand how shakuntalam had such a terrible vfx job done considering their budget spent like wtf how did they make the whole movie look like it was made in the 90s and then quality restored now like how do you bring on a very good actress like samantha who has good potential and not use it as a script writer and director
