The much anticipated sequel, "Double iSmart," finally hit the screens last week, and fans are buzzing with opinions. Starring the ever energetic Ram Pothineni and Nidhhi Agerwal, the film promises a double dose of action, comedy, and romance.
Here's a breakdown of what critics and audiences are saying about "Double iSmart":
1. A Familiar Ride with Double the Action:
"Double iSmart" follows the same formula as its predecessor, "iSmart Shankar," with Ram Pothineni reprising his role as the quirky and charming Shankar. The film throws in a generous helping of action sequences, slapstick humor, and the signature "iSmart" dialogues that fans have come to expect. While some critics found the plot predictable and reminiscent of the original, others praised the film's fast paced nature and the action choreography.
2. Ram Pothineni Delivers the Goods:
Ram Pothineni is the heart and soul of "Double iSmart." He effortlessly brings his signature brand of energy and charisma to the screen, making Shankar a likable and entertaining protagonist. His performance is one of the film's strengths, and his chemistry with Nidhhi Agerwal adds a romantic spark to the story.
3. Nidhhi Agerwal's Charisma Shines:
Nidhhi Agerwal makes a strong impression as the female lead. While her role is not as meaty as Ram's, she brings a charming energy to the screen and her on screen chemistry with Ram is palpable.
4. A Mixed Bag of Music:
The music by Mani Sharma is a mixed bag. While some songs like "Mass Maharaja" and "Double I Smart" have become popular, others haven't quite resonated with the audience. The background score is effective and enhances the action scenes.
5. A Predictable but Entertaining Experience:
"Double iSmart" is not a film that aims to break new ground. It's a pure entertainment vehicle that sticks to the tried and tested formula of the original. This might be a drawback for some viewers who crave originality, but for others who are looking for a fun, action packed ride, "Double iSmart" delivers.
6. The Final Verdict:
"Double iSmart" is a solid entertainer that will appeal to fans of the first film. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun and engaging watch thanks to Ram Pothineni's energetic performance, the action sequences, and the catchy music.
Overall, "Double iSmart" is a decent sequel that offers more of the same, but with a few twists and turns. If you enjoyed "iSmart Shankar," you'll likely enjoy "Double iSmart" as well.
