Actress Vidya Balan's much-awaited film Shakuntala Devi has finally released on Amazon Prime and fans are in love with it. The film is a biopic on Math genius Shakuntala Devi who refused to fit into the stereotypes. The film is as much as a biopic as it is a drama about a mother-daughter relationship. Sanya Malhotra plays the role of her daughter in the film, Anupama Banerjee. The film shows how a talented woman learns to live on her own, and on her own terms in a world and in an era where men struggle to fathom her. She is a gifted soul and wants to celebrate it every second of the day.

Netizens were all praise for the film and took to Twitter to express their appreciation for the film and the star cast. One Twitter user wrote, "@sanyamalhotra07 the next big thing in Indian film industry, what an incredible performance and @vidya_balan showing why she is the best in the business. Brilliant performance and awesome story." Another tweeted, "Superb movie which conveys Mother - Daughter bonding in entertaining way,  Good story with an brilliant screenplay. #ShakuntalaDevi"

Story of one of the most amazing woman couldn't have been approached in a way better than looking at it from her daughter's perspective. @anumenon1805 Love how the movie is gripping and fast paced. Much respect for the approach. #ShakuntalaDeviReview #ShakuntalaDevi

Just watched #ShakuntalaDevi, @Vidya_Balan carries the film on her brave shoulders and makes it a good experience. She gets into the flesh of the genius and delivers a perfectly ‘calculated’ act.

Great Job 👍🏻 Team#ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime #ShakuntalaDeviReview

What a mathematical mind #ShakuntalaDevi was. Talking about the film, #vidyaban thoroughly carries it on her shoulders. The first half is fantastic while the second half is a bit stretched by mother-daughter relationship which turns into a family drama. #ShakuntalaDevireview

Directed by Anu Menon, the biographical drama touches upon the various events in the life of Shakuntala Devi, whose ability to solve complex mathematical problems swiftly, made her famous as the "human computer". talking about the role, Vidya Balan had said, "She owned her choices and stood her ground. Her story definitely inspired me and has shown me that it is actually okay for a woman to want it all in life. She enjoyed the attention and she couldn’t understand the world saying that ‘You are a wife now or you are a mother and your priorities should change.’ She had this gift and she wanted to celebrate it. She was someone who wanted it all and had it all."

The film also stars Sanya Malhotra, Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta, and has released on Amazon Prime on July 31.
