    Bad and worse

    Positive point : RAM Negative points : story , screenplay , editing , direction , logic , ending

    Copy of English movie

    Shameless copy of a English movie called IBOY. Please atleast give credit to the original movie if you intend to copy. Our Indian cinema has evolved so much and plagiarism at this stage is simply unacceptable and should not be entertained.

    Ram is saving grace

    Rams energy carried the movie, and the songs/bgm. It's a mass movie so can't really talk about wrong scenes and such, but I'd say you can watch with family if you skip the songs and if you skip a scene in the first half (when Ram chases her in an auto...skip that whole sequence) . But because of the energy of the movie and bgm, it was fun to watch.

    iSmart is nothing but Ram's excellent acting; Mani Sharma's music brilliance and 2 Gorgeous Heroines.

    I am an avid fan of Puri Jagannath and most of the times I end up in theaters because of his direction regardless of any hero/heroine he directs for that particular movie. He has a brand to his name and we all enjoy his movies.

    Story - Double Sim Card concept in the brain of the hero. How does it pan out? What is the crux of the story. You have to watch it.

    Ram's acting is simply outstanding. I think he is the main USP of the movie. His dialogue delivery (Telangana slang) and his mannerism is amazing (credit to Puri for his characterization). Then we have Nabha Natesh who equally entertains us with her Telangana slang. Ram and Nabha makes it a little bit interesting for us to watch this movie. Then we have Mani Sharma's brilliant music, he gave us several hits and this is one among them. However, other than this, everything else falls flat. There are few illogical scenes which were annoying but if you ignore them and don't expect a iLogic, then iSmart Shankar is for you!

    So, It is a one time watch movie for movie lovers but for MASS movie lovers, Ram fans its a treat!
