ReviewGunasekhar’s ‘Shaakuntalam’ offers nothing new in terms of interpretation or presentation, and is content to stretch a simplistic version of the myth of Shakuntala to the length of a feature film. YouTube/Tips TeluguIn his famous poem ‘No Amnesiac King’, Ak Ramanujan writes: “One knows by now one is no amnesiac king, whatever mother may say or child believe. One cannot wait any more in the back of one's mind for that conspiracy…” The ‘amnesiac king’ here is Dushyanta, a righteous ruler who ‘forgets’ his wife due to a sage’s curse, and leaves her to fend for herself. In mythology, this conspiracy is the subject of a bittersweet romance as is often the case when there is a wronged woman at the centre of a story. She is pure and pristine, and eventually, the universe proves her right because of her virtue, and the man recognises the value of her womanhood.
