Performance: The Young and energetic actor Ram Pothineni delivers his best, he is terrific in his role. The audiences are shocked after watching his performance as angry young man , and this credit goes to Puri Jagannadh who brought new avatar of Ram Pothineni on the screen. Right from his toned body to his thumping performance, everything works well for him. Nidhhi Agerwal in the role of scientist researching on Hippocampus and memories, is good. Nabha Natesh grabs the attention of the audiences by her glamour. Sathaydev gets small role but he delivers his best. Sayaji Shinde, Punit Issar, Sathaydev, Deepak Mishra and others performed accordingly.
Technical: The music by Mani Sharma is quite appealing but BGM is outstanding. Cinematography by Raj Thota is superb. The visuals are stunning and a treat to the eyes. Editing by Junaid Siddiqui is ok. Action sequences are choreographed well and the Production value are top notch. Puri Jagnnadh has done superb job to narrate the story in an interesting way . The First half is entertaining and Interval block opens an interesting theme but second half goes flat. The climax Varanasi scenes is Good.
Analysis: Overall iSmart Shankar is good entertainer movie. The major assets of the movie are the stunning performance and dancing style of Ram Pothineni, punchy dialogues and Interval episode. Coming to Puri Jagannadh, he has done a good job with the film. The dialogues are a delight for the youth and masses. The way he has narrated the story in an interesting way and showcased Ram Pothineni needs a special mention.
