Directed by Sophiyaa Nayar

Shakuntala is celebrating her new marriage to the king when a sage places a spell on her beloved so that he forgets his wife’s face. Inspired by Kalidasa’s 4th-century drama, Lavina Jadhwani’s Bollywood-infused Shakuntala is a playful, irreverent, totally contemporary take on losing and finding love and where we come from.
