Шакунтала

Шакунтала (2023)

శాకుంతలం

Однажды неподалеку от обители мудреца Риши Канвы в лесной глуши была оставлена маленькая девочка — Шакунтала. Кроткая девушка росла и трудилась в ашраме наряду с другими послушницами, поливая растения и занимаясь обустройством сада. Одним летним утром король Душьянта решил поохотиться на землях, принадлежащих ашраму Канвы. Гостя встретила Шакунтала. Душьянта был очарован и решил взять красавицу в жены. Влюбленные поженились, и махараджа отправился в столицу, пообещав молодой жене выслать подходящую охрану. Перед отъездом Душьянта подарил жене особенное кольцо — символ их вечной любви. Пребывая в постоянных мечтах о встрече с мужем, Шакунтала невольно нанесла обиду вспыльчивому мудрецу Дурвасе, который наложил на нее суровое проклятие. Теперь лишь волшебное кольцо сможет воскресить воспоминания Душьянта о любви к молодой супруге. Однако заветный подарок был утерян девушкой. Смогут ли влюбленные воссоединиться, несмотря ни на что?
