Shaakuntalam Box Office Collection Day 2: Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Shaakuntalam premiered in theaters on April 14. Everyone loved the film's amazing visuals and Samantha's Shakuntalam appearance. Samantha's film is around the epic love story of Shakuntala, daughter of sage Vishwamitra and Apsara Menaka, who was in love with King Dushyant, played by Dev Mohan, and is based on Kalidasa's famed Sanskrit play Abhijnana Shakuntalam. The film, written and directed by award-winning director Gunasekhar (Rudhramadevi), had a solid first day but failed to connect with audiences on Day 2.
