In  Shakuntala  Devi, Vidya Balan plays  the  eponymous   role  of   the  mathematical genius and her tumultuous relationship with her daughter,played by  Sanya Malhotra.

Interestingly  the  two  Amazon acquisitions  share a  similar  plotting format. Both pitch a seemingly unreasonable  senior protagonist against a  junior.   With  the  official announcement from Amazon  on Shakuntala Devi  coming  in  on  Friday morning we can  tell you  that Vidya Balan has given an award winning performance . She  is  not only feisty  and   hotheaded  but also  vulnerable  as  Shakuntala Devi.
