Mass and dashing director Puri Jagannath’s combination of mass and dashing director Puri Jagannath starring Tollywood’s energetic star Ram Pothineni as the hero, the sequel to the mass hit film “Ismart Shankar” “Double Ismart” has been released by the makers as a gift this Independence Day. And let’s see in the review how much this movie is pleasing.
Story:
Coming to the story this time… Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt), who is a mafia don and a major supplier of guns, has a brain tumor one day. Having designed his empire for another 100 years with this, he does not want to die. This is known by a doctor for memory transfer. And while looking for the right people for the experiment, he comes to know Smart Shankar alias Double Smart (Ram Pothineni) in Hyderabad. How did the story turn from there? What will Big Bull do to Shankar? If you want to know what tragedy happened in Shankar’s life due to Big Bull, you have to watch this movie.
Plus Points:
First of all, when it comes to the performances of the actors, it must be said that Ram once again impressed with his mass presence. This time also he showed his swag just like the last Smart Shankar in his looks with a perfect Telangana accent. He also showed a variation in himself in another shade.
And the heroine Kavya Thapar is also fit in her role. Some scenes with Ram are good. Also his glamor show is also liked by the mass audience. Also, the fights were also done well. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt appeared as a stylish don in his role. Also the climax twist in the movie some mass moments, police station fight are good.
Minus Points:
Everyone knows what kind of impact Smart Shankar has set in the mass audience.. So the audience will go with minimal expectations for the sequel, but it must be said that this film is not at the level to reach them. This time Puri Jagannath tried something but his work disappoints.
Forced emotions unimpressive story makes the movie bland. There is nothing much to say about the original movie if some scenes are missing. If the first half seems to be in an okay range, then the situation in the second half will continue in the same way. Mainly Puri mark mass scenes but punchy dialogues are not in the movie. Those expecting these will be more disappointed.
Sanjay Dutt’s role is still a big disappointment. His role in the film seems very unnatural. For his personality, what he does is not as interesting as acting. Also there is not much logic in the movie.. Also Puri Aoli comedy track means some expectations but in this movie the track doesn’t even bring much laughter. Also the climax episode should be designed better.
Technical category:
The production values of Charmi and Puri Jagannath are good in this movie. The setup of the film and the desirable setting works are good. Also it can be said that Mani Sharma’s work in the technical team is just okay. Some scenes score is good but some scenes are missing. The visuals given by Raj Thota are good. Junaid’s editing work should be better. Audio sync is also missing in some scenes.
When it comes to the director Puri Jagannath, it must be said that he has given a dull work to this movie. His marked scenes and dialogues were badly missed. The story is not very interesting. It can be said that the efforts put into Part 1 are much better in all categories.
Verdict:
If you look at it as a whole…the sequel of the mass hit Smart Shankar, if you think that this movie will give you double entertainment, then you can say that it could not reach even half of it. The limited mass moments were okay, Ram played his role well. Kavya also looked good but Puri’s work was not in the range of expectations. If you watch part 1 and have high expectations, you will definitely be disappointed. No matter how low expectations you watch, this is not a Puri movie, but its fans get the feeling that it is. With these, the movie remains below average.
