Shaakuntalam is a film Samantha has pinned a lot of hopes on. She met the press and boldly handled them even when some of the journalists took jibes at her in a big way.
There was a special show that Dil Raju arranged for a select few. Some family audiences liked the film but all those who saw it in the media did not like it.
Messages have started to come out that Shaakuntalam is not that great. The VFX and narration are tacky is the news. But the real public who saw the film are quite happy.
Samantha is shouldering this film alone and there are not many other stars to carry this film on their shoulders. So, if the film fails, Dil Raju and Samantha will be trolled badly.
