Here's what critics are saying,
She is definitely a surprise package in the movie... This 28-year-old girl turned into the 16-year daughter of Shakuntala Devi (Anupama Banerjee) and made us know how a daughter fought with herself whenever she missed her mother. She fits the perfect bill and awestruck us portraying the roles of a schoolgirl to a girlfriend.
The film's most impressive performer, however, is Malhotra, Balan's on-screen daughter. Shakuntala Devi stirs alive whenever she enters the frame. Fiery, distressed, firm, she gives the film an emotional anchor it so badly needs. Her role also provides a sense of wholeness and finality, of a journey becoming a destination.
With so much love which keeps coming in from everywhere, Sanya thanked her audiences with a post on her social media and said, "She didn't always get the 'right' answers Thank you for all your AMAZING comments and reviews! Meet #ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime now, @primevideoin!"
The story of Shakuntala Devi revolves around, Shakuntala, who is blessed with a unique ability to solve arithmetic equations in a matter of seconds and was popularly known as 'the human computer' for proving t computer wrong and also holds the Guinness Book of World Records.
Sanya Malhotra will be seen next in Anurag Basu's LUDO and Guneet Monga's Pagglait.
