July Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss22 of 22
Shakuntala Devi: Human Computer | Premieres Friday, July 31, on Prime Video
Plot: Based on the life of Shakuntala Devi, the renowned mathematical genius from India, nicknamed 'Human Computer' due to her ability to solve complex problems without a machine.
Our Take: Since the poster launched for the movie in late 2019, I was suprised to learn that Shakuntala Devi's life and legacy in STEM and as a feminist icon has never been centralized in a movie. I'm excited to see one of my favorite actresses, Vidya Balan, take on Devi's legacy. — Sneha
