Double Ismart

Expecting a nice little thriller judging by the summary of the movie. What I got was terrible acting which was cringeworthy at times, a ridiculous plot, loud and obnoxious music and on top of that the absolutely irritating character Boka.

Always hard to understand how some movies get greenlit anyways.

Fightscenes are so OTT (not every punch or kick makes the badguy swirl in mid-air) and the bad guys laughable.

I've seen some bad movies in my time but this is just next level. Avoid at all cost and treat yourself to a nice dinner instead. Hope this and other reviews will be enough warning for you!

I have always admired Puri's movies. This movie though changes all that. The guy was known for his originality and his unique creative story telling. This movie has very average screenplay, story and character. The excessive use of F words by almost all the characters is pretty shocking. It looks like the censor board slept through the movie and didn't catch all the cuss words. The final fight around the statue of lord Shiva was totally not required. It looks and feels like an insult to the statue of god. Ram's acting is good. He pulls of a very good accent required by the protagonist. As others have amply pointed out, the movie just doesn't click. Hope Puri comes back with a better movie next time and not this Halwa.

The biggest flaw in this movie was the constant use of the F cuss word and loose morals. I don't know if the first movie was this bad or not, I must have watched an edited version bc I don't remember this kind of language being used or so much talk about sex. That part of Double iSmart was very difficult to sit through. I really liked the first movie, Ismart Shankar, it was a little rough around the edges morally, but not completely offensive like this movie. And why do all Indian movies have to be so violent?! That was awful to sit through. The movie had multiple plot holes, which I've come to expect from Indian movies. The guy who played the villain, Sanjay Dutt, is way too old to play this part. He was painful to watch. Ram Pothineni was amazing, seriously. I love the iSmart character that he created. I'm a huge fan of his past movies. His new stuff seems to be a bit edgy tho and I really like clean movies. I was really annoyed that there was no clear connection between iSmart Shankar and Dbl iSmart, but that goes back to those famous Indian movie plot holes. I kind of expected that. And I've seen several Indian movies where the sequel is just another story using the same characters but no clear correlation between the two plots whatsoever. I sat through this movie at the theater and didn't get up and leave, I loved every second Ram was on screen (he's just too beautiful to ignore), the songs weren't that great (again, too immoral for my tastes), and the story was too much of a stretch. I wouldn't watch it again and I wish I had waited for it to come out on streaming so I could have fast forwarded through all of the violence and lewd music and maybe the F word would have been edited out.

Horrible movie from puri, movie is really bad and ali's character is so degraded . Pure 2 hours of torture. Over all very bad experience watching this movie. Absolutely not recommended to watch with family. No proper screen play and there is no logic and meaning in the story. Extreme vulgar vocabulary used in the movie which is not at all comfortable. Waste of time. Movies are for relaxation and this movie do not serve the purpose at at metre. Sanjay dutt is an excellent actor from bollywood but I feel he is not utilized as per his caliber. There is complete absence of audio management throughout the film.

I don't know how I'm still alive after watching this movie. It's such a terrible film, completely illogical. The story is awful and the direction is even worse. The movie is never serious at any point, and the action scenes are so illogical that I couldn't help but laugh at them. What's even worse is that this is supposed to be a sequel to the 2019 movie "iSmart Shankar," where Shankar had Arun's (movie character) memory in his brain, but there's no mention of that memory in this movie. The movie includes a forced comedy character just to add some unnecessary humor. It's a complete WASTE OF TIME that I've already wasted.... The only good thing about the movie is Sanjay Dutt, and that's it.
