Damn, she owns the room, man! She bloody OWNS the entire goddamn room. Look at her confidence!!! Those that are threatened by her confidence or her talent would term her 'a narcissist' or 'arrogant'. But no, she is confident enough in her own self to challenge anybody that dares mock her, mansplain to her, minimize her talent in any way. HUUUUUUGE RESPECT!
Vidya Balan got it horribly wrong in depicting the character of Ms. Shakuntala Devi. Her body language during these sessions were not what was depicted in the movie. Felt frustrated after watching the movie. It was over dramiatized and showed Ms. Shakuntala Devi in a negative light.
What are you expecting then , Its a movie which needs a dramatic scope otherwise why the hell will u watch someone acting same like any other person. She did justified her role. And playing it same like actual shakuntala devi would have been real but disaster and boring to watch for 2 straight hours

Sad that she hasn’t been given any national honor like Bharat Ratna or Padma Shri while so many cine actors have. She put India on the world map. Her talent like many others was not celebrated in India, was acknowledged only by countries abroad.
How many of the people in the link below were given Bharat Ratna or Padma Shri?? famous-mathematicians.com/top-10-indian-mathematicians-contributions/ You need to realize that she didn't contribute anything in mathematics and she is not a mathematican.

“My only hope is that human beings should not be dehumanised by the computer. “ This sentence at the end of the session is very hard hitting because that’s exactly where we are heading today. Sad but true!

Shakuntala Devi was an Indian writer and mathematical genius. She is popularly known as the “Human-Computer” for making complicated mathematical calculations in her head and effortlessly speaking out the results. Her extraordinary abilities earned her a place in “The Guinness Book of World Records.”
Still my mind is not settling down, after watching the movie, now even I watched her most of original videos, and realised that computers have born by her inspirations, and so sad that, how come our government as not recognised her, she deserves Bharath Ratna award, also today generation need to know about her, in every syllabus like from state, CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, IB etc,,,,,, instead of teaching about others countries
I bow my head to you madam, Shakuntala Devi,,,,,,,,
Damn, she owns the room, man! She bloody OWNS the entire goddamn room. Look at her confidence!!! Those that are threatened by her confidence or her talent would term her 'a narcissist' or 'arrogant'. But no, she is confident enough in her own self to challenge anybody that dares mock her, mansplain to her, minimize her talent in any way.
HUUUUUUGE RESPECT!
Nitya well said.
Word!
Machines have limitations, where humans have no limitations.. well said madam...
Coz machines r made my human
That time computers were really slow....
machines 'had' limitaions but now the times have changed now there is something more than machine like "AI"
Oh my god. Its a shame for me.. I am living in India for 19 yrs i never know about this amazing intelligent woman
She does comedy with the numbers and audience
Superb confidence
She is unbeatable 🚦🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
She wrote on homosexual long back.
She talks about humanity
She is genius in mathematics
How can government forget this lady.
Except for the Mathematics part you're right
U pervert..shut up..dont write sexual things here

Machines have limitations, human do not have any limitations. Thats the line which vibrated my brain
my god what a confidence and great performer on stage. The movie doesn't do any justice to this gem .
Vidya Balan got it horribly wrong in depicting the character of Ms. Shakuntala Devi. Her body language during these sessions were not what was depicted in the movie. Felt frustrated after watching the movie. It was over dramiatized and showed Ms. Shakuntala Devi in a negative light.
Right. Vidya balan bilkul bhi shakuntala Devi ki tarah action nahin kar rahi hai vah bilkul hi nautanki Devi lag rahi
True... And that horrible laugh after every dialogue was a turn off.. shankuntala devi looked so graceful in real life.. vidya looked a bit cheap
You can't judge the entire life of a person watching a small clip over you tube. Period
What are you expecting then , Its a movie which needs a dramatic scope otherwise why the hell will u watch someone acting same like any other person. She did justified her role. And playing it same like actual shakuntala devi would have been real but disaster and boring to watch for 2 straight hours
Look at her confidence... and the aura how she owns the room.

read this and you will know why- In Medak she stood against the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,[26] saying she wanted to "defend the people of Medak from being fooled by Mrs. Gandhi";
She is better than many of the stand up comedians today
What's that comparison sorry dint get
Dont u see how she interacts and entertains the audience..unlike the so called stand up comedians who just know to use abusive language and offensive jokes
That is not good comparison.she is not entertaining.she is just showing her talent

Their english is better than our present shows
I was wondering the same, even in that era their pronunciation is flawless and with natural accent
Yaa actually people back then used to follow the standard accent that was the British one
My grandfather has a pure english accent and yaa one prospect of the time is like becoming dumb and just blaming the accent
Even i thought the same
Even if you look at the ads we made in 80s & 90s, the English used was flawless & classy! We used British English ..
True
Proud Kannadiga, proud Indian. Confident, clear thought and eloquent. Kudos, Shakuntala Devi:)

Love her confidence , thats amazing ! Its a shame that the movie was reduced to her personal life and failed to focus more on her mathematical genius ! She was truly ahead of her times !
Damn, though this video is from 1977, the language, flair, and the aura feels so ahead of its time even today in 2020.

What is unique about her is her sheer confidence. "Confidence" is the key to success. If you are confident, you can conquer anything!
Omg 😯how is this possible?felt astonished.none can beat shakuntala mam even in 21st century.proud of India👏💪
In an interview, she was asked, how could you do calculations so fast and she simply replied, 'it's a God gift'...so down to earth 🙏 her English, fluency, sense of humour, accuracy, confidence....truly amazing..proud that she is an Indian.
Omg... why on the earth we dont even know about her before.
Just wow, this really shows what a human mind is capable of.. hats off
We already had her in our text books ..
I m lucky to had studied about her before the film
I m surprised to know that many even didn't knew about her before the film anyways at least you know now 😊

Not only Karnataka texts ,but also in Kerala & andra Pradesh ...I can say South Indian states knew about her ...I don't know about north

Sad that she hasn’t been given any national honor like Bharat Ratna or Padma Shri while so many cine actors have. She put India on the world map. Her talent like many others was not celebrated in India, was acknowledged only by countries abroad.
How many of the people in the link below were given Bharat Ratna or Padma Shri??
famous-mathematicians.com/top-10-indian-mathematicians-contributions/
You need to realize that she didn't contribute anything in mathematics and she is not a mathematican. She is good at solving certain number operations really fast.
While that is impressive, a bunch of great mathematicians are in line for the awards before her
Dude there is international mental calculator world cup every year where many many people including indians participate and who do things she used to do every year.
This all happens because us(People of our country) not because of government so stop blaming others for your and our fault.
People are running after fake heroes and heroines of silver screen who plays characters of real heroes and heroines but people are not running for real heroes and heroines of our country.....our Soldiers,Sakuntala Devi and many more talented scientists and people around us are there.

@@AnandrulesSir there may be many who works on numbers and mental calculations...but she is a guiness record holder... just giving my thought... n not for any arguments.
Goose bumps. This 35mins was way better than so many of the thrillers including her biopic. Way better. Nice
She's from india.. and I'm really depressed why her methodologies weren't taught to us in school.
*They teach Vedic math (this math) in many UK schools. But in India it would be shut down as hindutva policy. Far too many Indians hate Hinduism more than they love life.*
@@roughnotes0033 yes well said, v r against our own culture
That's because she never told anyone, how she does the calculations.
She used to do shows like a magician, do magicians tell their tricks?
@@gorkym8864 lol born talent? If she was born with maths as a talent, why was she able to do fast calculations mostly for root extraction and multiplication? Why not other operations? She practiced a ton on both since childhood and started giving shows as a performer.
No one can teach her methodologies because she never revealed them at that time. Now a lot of people can spend time memorizing logarithmic tables and do those calculations.
@@gorkym8864 You have never read Vedic math. Feel free to enroll in a few courses if you're in UK, ever. She was a born genius but if you bothered to read her books, she talks about how ordinary folks like you can learn the technique through Vedic mathematics. Your hatred for Indian & Vedic culture is clear. That is precisely why Shakuntala Devi is not well known or celebrated in India. It's full of people who hate everything of their own. Adios!
She's gifted for sure, I was stunned long back by that, now I'm amused and amazed by her sense of humour.
What a delight and lively lady she is..❤️
COMPUTERS has limitations , HUMAN don't.
classic Shakuntala Devi.
Jai Sri Ram 🐏
She nailed it
lol, that's so wrong, our cheapest smartphones today would be thousands if not lakhs of times faster than the most powerful computer in her time 50+ years ago.
If she explained how she do that calculation then she would be remembered in every math book 📖
She was far far ahead of her times. I hope the Government of India honours her memory by awarding her the Bharat Ratna posthumously.
Very impressive.👍
Not even now, nobody can solve as fast as shewas

This video reminds me my late father who is also a great Mathematician. He also used to do simple calculations like Shakuntala madam and actually wrote some articles also on numbers. Actually my father was 1st University rank holder at Madras University in M.Sc., Mathematics.
