'I always thought my childhood was terrible; Then why am I smiling in all these pictures?' These words uttered by Shakuntala Devi's (Vidya Balan) estranged daughter Anu (Sanya Malhotra) while going through her mum's black book, best sums up the eponymous biopic for us.

Vidya Balan plays the numbers game with Shakuntala Devi
It's time to switch from normal to amazing with #ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime now, @PrimeVideoIN: https://t.co/xTUOuq9kCz @sanyamalhotra07 @Jisshusengupta @TheAmitSadh @anumenon1805 @sonypicsprodns @vikramix @Abundantia_Ent @ShikhaaSharma03 pic.twitter.com/ZkUHfA7BqBCan a woman ever have it all, is the age-old question Shakuntala Devi throws up. The answer may be a bit complicated to spell out, but the movie does empower women to make their own choices and take the road less travelled if it brings them happiness. And for that Shakuntala Devi is worth a watch. Who knows, along with a heady dose of feminism, you may come away with a better appreciation of numbers.
