Ism (2016): Puri Jagannadh has lost his charm after Temper.His previous movies Jyothi Lakshmi and Loafer had failed to impress.His new movie Ism starring Kalyan Ram gathered attention with Kalyan Ram's look and interesting teaser.So how is Ism?? Did Puri scored this time??
Plot: Satya Marthanda(Kalyan Ram) is an easy going youth based in Europe. He falls in love with Alia(Aditi Arya) who is the daughter of a dreaded don Javed Bhai(Jagapathi Babu).Satya tries hard to woo Alia and right when the time both Alia and Javed Bhai approve of his love story, he cheats them big time and leaves back to India. Who is Satya ? What did he trap Javed Bhai's daughter ? How is Satya connected to Javed Bhai ? and what is the back story behind all this ?
Plus Points:
1)Production Values: Ism has rich production values with budget showing in each and every scene.The frequent showcases of Limos,helicopters etc.. shows that Kalyan Ram didn't put any conditions on budget.
2)Kalyan Ram and Jagapathi Babu: As usual,Kalyan Ram had lot of changeover into Puri's style.He did good job.Jagapathi babu gave decent performance in an ordinary don role.
Minus Points:
1)Story,Screenplay and Direction: Largely inspired from Wiki Leaks incident,Puri wrote a lackluster script with terrible screenplay.Even he failed in giving striking dialogues.Puri failed miserably in Ism.This marks as one of the worst movies of Puri Jagannadh after Andhrawala.Even his bad ones like Nenu Na Rakshasi and Devudu Chesina Manushulu are lot better than this torture.Entire movie is full of illogical scenes.
2)Actress: OMG!!!!!I think she has dangerous habit of giving pout..She is giving pouts in each and every scene irrespective of emotion.She is terrible:(
3)Music: Anoop failed miserably with his routine music.Songs do not strike a chord and lyrics are more terrible than music.BGM is nothing special.
So,Ism marks as one of the worst movies of 2016 and clearly a proof of Puri's SadISM.
My rating 3.5/10
