Mumbai(Thestates.news)| Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Dev Mohan’s Shaakuntalam were released yesterday, on March 14, 2023. However, the film performed poorly on day one, earning only about Rs 5 crore. Shaakuntalam, directed by Gunasekhar, is a mythology-drama that is based on the well-known play Abhignyana Shakuntalam by Kalidasa. The film’s chances started looking gloomy on the Monday before its release when negative press screening evaluations began to come in.
