Double Ismart

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.

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 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.

I can't even begin to describe how disappointing this movie is. The Telugu audience has evolved to appreciate quality cinema, regardless of budget, and often turns smaller films into hits. However, it seems like the directors and actors haven't updated their approach to match the changing tastes of the audience.

The misogynistic traits of the lead character, along with Ali's irritating performance, were unbearable. The glorification of women objectification was absolutely appalling.

Throughout the movie, I felt like walking out of the theater. If I had watched it at home, I would have sped through it just to avoid the unpleasant experience.

As a movie enthusiast, I usually make it a point to sit through a film, no matter how bad it is. But this one stands among the worst I've seen. Excessive action, vulgar dialogues, indecent gestures, and overacting never makes a movie good.

This movie falls short in several areas, starting with its plot and characters, which come across as silly and poorly developed. There's no proper connection to the prequel, making it feel disjointed for fans who were expecting continuity. The narration is loud and grating, which only adds to the overall unpleasant experience. Much of the film is uninteresting and boring, with the few moments that try to stand out instead coming off as cringe-worthy.

Ram, as expected, gives his best performance. He does what he can with the material he's given, but even his efforts can't lift the movie out of mediocrity. Sanjay Dutt is unfortunately underutilized and doesn't get the opportunity to showcase his abilities. Kavya Thapar brings some visual appeal to the film, but her role lacks depth. Ali's comedy, which might have been a saving grace, ends up being more irritating than entertaining.

The music fails to leave a lasting impression, and the direction feels outdated, lacking the freshness or creativity needed to engage a modern audience. Given all these factors, this movie is not one I would recommend. It's better to skip this one and look for something more worthwhile.
