SHAKUNI REVIEW
What can you learn from Shakuni that 45,67,539 Telugu/Tamil movies have not taught you? Err... nothing. But this non-serious "political thriller" is actually fun once you get past the fact that it's not an earth-shatteringly different film.
Shakuni is too breezy to be called heavy-sounding names like "political" and "thriller", but has too much of the political stuff to be called a regular movie. And even though the broad plot-line does not impress, the little twists that take the movie forward prove to be rather entertaining.
