Double iSmart: A Disappointing Sequel to iSmart Shankar
Smart Shankar’s movie directed by Purijagannadh with Ram Pothineni as the hero got a good success and now a movie called Double Smart has been released in the same combo. The content of this movie, which was released today amid many expectations, has impressed the audience tremendously. In this review, let’s find out how this movie fared in the background of the fact that both of them needed a hit.
Story: Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt) learns that he has a brain tumor and will die in three months. He wants to live long and wants to live with a big goal. For this he starts efforts for his memory transformation. Smart Shankar (Ram Pothineni) already has a successful memory transformation and wants to implant his memories in him and bring him back to life in the form of Smart Shankar. So Ismart sends his gang for Shankar. Smart Shankar also steals Big Bull’s money. In this sequence, Jannat (Kavya Thapar) also joins hands with Smart Shankar. Smart Shankar also says that his target is Big Bull. What are Big Bull’s attempts to do memory transformation for Smart Shankar? What were the consequences of that transformation? What did Raw do to catch Big Bull? What is Jannat’s role in this story? What is the importance of Pochamma (Jhansi) character? What will happen in the end? You have to see that on the screen.

Actors: Ram’s energy levels will be known through this movie. He once again impressed by speaking in Telangana dialect. He composed dances and dialogues. He acted in the range No one else suits Smart Shankar. Kavya Thapar’s character is not very mature. It seems that she was taken not as a heroine but for an item song. Sanjay Dutt is not set as the villain. Big Bull is also not very impressive in his role. I think it would have been better if someone cast a Telugu actor for this role. After many days, Ali impressed again with a role. And the role of new actor Sayas is funny. Getup Srinu’s acting is also good. Temper Vamsi impressed in three and four scenes. The rest of the characters are unremarkable.
Technicians: The story of this double smart movie made in the background of director Puri Jagannath having to make a hit in order to give a comeback, but in the way of telling it, Puri has lost track again. From the beginning the character of the hero is amazingas Puri, who has a good reputation in Malachadam, is not going to make any bends in the hero character of this movie but he has to be more careful in the story. While the first part was okay, expectations for the second off were good, but the director handled the second off poorly. The climax is also unimpressive. The music was not great. The editing and cinematography are impactful but do not create much. Construction values are also limited.
Plus Points:
Ram acting
Characterization of the hero
the story
Minus Points:
narrative
Direction
Music
Second Half, Climax
Verdict: Puri Jagannath once again gave the movie Disappointment. Puri Jagannath’s judgment is missing in terms of story and scenes. After a certain stage, the story becomes very predictable. The climax is as expected. Overall, it is difficult to watch the movie once
Rating : 2/5
