Time waste

After a kick ass first half movie went in vain and finished like a routine script having nothing fresh to offer

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.

Not so smart

Ram acting and his dances are too good,and all other actors gave their best performance. Puri scored 6 in his work out of 10,and all other technicians are damm good mainly music workouts alot

Genuinely iSmart

Movie is genuinely made to reflect Hyderabad slang and body language, very common on the street. I appreciate Ram and Puri on their bold attempt. Watching the moving with family and friends, it was clear that this is more a BOY movie than a GIRL movie. Kids didn't really understand the profanity much and they enjoyed the SciFi portion of it.

comedy at peaks

Rams action and Mani sharmas BGM is the only positive in this movie

faltu story bakwaas love momenta chillar fights vulgar dialogues

no logic no masala only vulgarity with twists

do not waste your time for this puris worst high budget entertainer

if you are a fan of RAM , then you might watch it once.

sorry puri sir , I still am a fan of yours.

The talli mass fare

This is the typical C grade film from the assembly line of Telugu film industry. Loud, flashy and simplistic script with on-the-nose dialogues. It resembles a junior school stage play. The only difference is that the target audience is not junior school kids but adults with a dismal IQ, dead senses and a terrible taste of art.

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!

Very routine

Ismart shankar is a very plain and routine film. Ram's performance and nabha nathesh glamour is the only positive. Puri jagannath hardly worked for story and screenplay. Even his strength, the dialogues are also weak.

Unbelievable crap

Watched this movie on fond memories of Pokiri of years ago and wasted hard earned money and time. This movie is absolutely crap in every sense from story, direction to actors. 50 years ago, in some movies bottles would be labeled as POISON so that viewers then would know that heroine has gulped jaan levaa poison. And in this movie all cbi officials wear jackets written CBI in 128 font size so that viewers dont have to rake their brains to understand who is beating to whom. Hero has two SIMS inserted in his head and chooses a sim to which heroine to remember. CBI chief or whatever he is is shown depicted as clown. It looks apparent that both Puri and Charmi were on high on something unlabelled to make such movie. If at all this movie made some money it is goodwill of Pokiri.

Hero dedication wasted but movie commercial hit.

Energetic star RAM pothineni undoubtedly gained a hit from puri...But in reality puri script work, writing , screenplay not as best as his old movies like pokiri, idiot, amma nanna o tamila ammai etc...Script is not perfect.But the director completely aimed at b,c audience and successfully reached and gained their positive and hit talk appreciations..puri given One of the best memorable charecter to ram ...But in the love track there is lot of logicless scenes and uncomfortable scenes while watching with family.thats not a big problem ,but there is lack of new and creative different hero charecter and screenplay like (temper)...in total movie screenplay is like his old flop movies like paisavasool, rogue, iddarammayiltho, devudu chesina manushulu etc...But in this movie ,there is two main important things helped to movie for this success happened...One is MANISHARMA music, and 2nd one RAM dance (for manisharma extraordinary beats) and acting performance in some scenes...In this movie 3rd credit goes to puri ...but finally puri gived ram a big hiTt...

TERRIBE AND CLICHÉ

The only thing good about this movie is it's songs, energetic performance of male lead and 2 hot and cute female leads.

Decided never to watch any typical 'non big budget' Telugu mass movies after this. Watched it after hearing many good review but it's not even close to good.
