Energetic Star Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar starred in 'Double iSmart', which was released globally amidst high expectations. Following the flop of 'Liger' by Puri Jagannadh and the failure of 'Skanda' by Ram Pothineni, this film has generated significant buzz among audiences and the industry alike. Did the film live up to expectations? Did the Ram-Puri combo hit the mark again? Let’s delve into this review.



What’s the Story?



Mafia boss Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt) wants to live forever. In this quest, doctors suggest the possibility of memory transfer. Attempts to transfer Big Bull’s memory to various individuals fail. During these attempts, Big Bull learns about iSmart Shankar. They decide to transfer Big Bull’s memory to Shankar. Was the memory successfully transferred to Shankar’s brain? What does iSmart Shankar do next? Why do Big Bull and iSmart Shankar clash again? What is the relationship between Kavya Thapar and Shankar? What significance does Boka's (Ali) character have in the film?







How's the Movie?



The first half of the movie includes love and comedy tracks, laden with Telangana slang and mass festivities. Puri Jagannadh’s trademark punch dialogues and his style of comedy scenes are captivating. From the interval action sequence onwards, twists upon twists are revealed. Scenes featuring Ram and Sanjay Dutt are particularly striking. The climax twist takes the movie to the next level. Dialogues are a special attraction, with Ram's Telangana slang proverbs hitting the mark. Romantic scenes between Ram and Kavya Thapar, as well as the mind games between Ram and Sanjay Dutt, and the mother sentiment, are all interesting. Ram’s energetic performance is engaging. Ali’s comedy scenes are well-done.







How Did They Perform?



Ram Pothineni excels as iSmart Shankar. His acting in this film is triple times more mass-oriented than in the previous iSmart Shankar movie. It's evident from this film that he has put in an extraordinary effort. Sanjay Dutt as Big Bull delivers a superb performance, doing complete justice to his role. Kavya Thapar, as the heroine Jannat, fits perfectly into her role. Shaaji Shinde as a CBI officer, Bunny Jayashankar, Ram's mother played by Jhansi, Boka played by Ali, and Ram’s friend played by Getup Srinu all perform commendably within the scope of their roles.







How's the Direction?



After the flop of Liger, it is evident that Puri Jagannadh has written this film with great care. This film marks a comeback for Puri, who has effectively brought his envisioned story to life. The screenplay is also good. Puri Jagannadh has filled the film with elements that attract the youth. The scenes from the pre-climax to the climax elevate the movie to another level. Once again, Puri introduces the old charm with his trademark punch dialogues. The mother sentiment is good but could have been elevated further. Overall, Puri succeeded in making a film that appeals to the youth.







Technically



On a technical level, the film is of high quality. Every frame appears rich. Mani Sharma’s music is satisfactory. Cinematography by Gian K. Gian and Shyam K. Naidu is commendable. Overall, this film can be termed a mass feast.







Plus Points



- Ram Pothineni’s acting



- Puri’s direction



- Scenes between Sanjay Dutt and Ram



Minus Points



- Lengthy comedy track by Ali



- Some of the songs



Verdict: Overall, Double iSmart Shankar is a youthful entertainer packed with mass elements.



Rating: 3/5






Does 'Double iSmart' Deliver? A Deep Dive into Ram Pothineni's Latest Outing


Young beauty Bhagyashri Borse's name has recently been echoing in Tollywood. Despite her first Telugu film Mr. Bachchan failing at the box office, her performance received praise. Recently, she joined a pan-India project with Dulquer Salmaan, proving that her popularity remains intact. Now, she has bagged another big offer, leaving everyone surprised. Film circles are buzzing about her gradual rise in Tollywood, potentially reaching the top heroine status.



As the Heroine Opposite Ram



Energetic star Ram Pothineni will star in a film being planned by the prominent production house Mythri Movie Makers. This movie, with the working title RAPO22, will be directed by Mahesh of Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty fame. The production house has announced that Bhagyashri Borse has been selected as the female lead for the film. A special poster was released, with the team stating that "the recent sensation Bhagyashri joining the project adds more charm to it." More details about the film are expected to be revealed on Thursday, November 21. The production house has also announced that the shooting will begin with a pooja ceremony on the same day.

Ram's Hopes on 'RAPO22'



RAPO22 marks Ram's 22nd film. Following the pooja ceremony on Thursday, November 21, regular shooting will begin shortly. The movie is said to be a high-energy, new-age story. Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar are producing the film under Mythri Movie Makers. Ram has pinned a lot of hopes on this project, as he has not delivered a solid hit in a while. His previous films, Red, The Warrior, Skanda, and Double iSmart, were disappointments at the box office. With RAPO22, the energetic star aims to deliver a hit that will delight his fans. On the other hand, after the failure of Mr. Bachchan, this film's success is crucial for Bhagyashri Borse as well.

Unshaken Popularity Despite a Flop



Bhagyashri Borse's name trended significantly during the release of Mr. Bachchan. Ever since her selection as the lead actress, she has been grabbing attention on social media. When the first song from the movie was announced, her visuals left fans mesmerized. However, with the unexpected failure of Mr. Bachchan, all expectations took a hit. Facing such a drastic failure with her debut film, she slowed down her social media presence. Recently, she proved her popularity hadn't waned by being selected as the heroine in Kaantha. While working on that film, she surprised everyone by bagging another exciting opportunity alongside Ram.

Pan-India Film with Dulquer



Bhagyashri Borse is starring opposite Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan in the film Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj of Neela fame. The project was announced on Dulquer’s birthday, and a pooja ceremony was held a few weeks ago. Bhagyashri, dressed elegantly in a saree, attended the event, earning praise for her looks. Fans took to social media to congratulate her on bagging such a significant opportunity. The film is jointly produced by Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media, with Rana Daggubati playing a key role.

With Vijay Deverakonda Too



Bhagyashri Borse is also playing the female lead in VD12, a film starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. She is actively participating in the shoot, where Vijay is reportedly playing a police officer. The film is said to revolve around a police constable's journey to becoming a mafia leader. Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film will have music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Additionally, there’s speculation that Bhagyashri might star opposite Natural Star Nani in a film directed by Sujeeth.

Is Bhagyashri in Love?



Rumors have surfaced suggesting that Bhagyashri Borse might be in love. A previous Instagram post of hers, saying "Love happens without any warning," went viral. Sharing a bouquet gifted by someone close to her, she added a love symbol to the post. She carefully avoided revealing the person's identity while sharing pictures of snow-covered valleys and sunsets. Subtle hints like two birds in a photo sparked speculations about her love life. Fans flooded social media with posts speculating that the actress might have found someone special.

Bhagyashri Borse's Meteoric Rise: From 'Mr. Bachchan' Flop to Starring with Ram, Dulquer, and Vijay Deverakonda!


The upcoming film "Pushpa 2," starring Allu Arjun, is buzzing nationwide. Directed by Sukumar, the film is almost ready to hit theaters, with a grand release scheduled for December 5th. The shooting is nearly complete, except for two songs and one scene, raising concerns among fans about whether the film will release on the announced date. Amid these developments, an unexpected twist in the film's production has emerged: Thaman has been brought in to replace Devi Sri Prasad as the music director, which has been a hot topic of discussion.



Thaman Joins Pushpa 2 Team



It is well-known that star music director Devi Sri Prasad was scoring the music for "Pushpa 2" after his tracks for the first part created a nationwide sensation. Recently released songs from the film have already captured the youth's attention. However, rumors are now circulating online that Devi Sri Prasad has been set aside and Thaman has taken over the responsibility for the film's background music.







Dissatisfaction from Sukumar



Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have had a strong rapport, with Devi providing music for all of Sukumar’s past films, which featured hit albums. Sukumar had entrusted Devi Sri Prasad with the music responsibilities for "Pushpa 2" as well, and while he was satisfied with the songs, he was reportedly not happy with the background music. With just 29 days left until the film's release, and Devi Sri having his hands full, Sukumar decided to bring in Thaman to handle the BGM. Discussions with Thaman have reportedly taken place, and he has already presented some background scores to Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this change is expected soon.







Why Thaman?



Music director S.S. Thaman is renowned not only for his compelling songs but also for his exceptional background scores. Recently, his BGMs have been making waves, with notable contributions to films like "Akhanda," "Veera Simha Reddy," "Vakeel Saab," "Bhagavanth Kesari," "Guntur Kaaram," "Bro," and "Skanda." Thaman, already having worked with Allu Arjun in blockbuster films such as "Sarrainodu" and "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," knows exactly what kind of musical elevations suit Allu Arjun’s films to make theaters erupt. Hence, there is a strong belief among fans that if Thaman provides the background music for "Pushpa 2," it will be phenomenal.







Another Music Director in Consideration?



Alongside Thaman, another music director, Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on films like "Kantara" and "Mangalavaaram," is also being considered for "Pushpa 2." Rumors suggest that Thaman might handle the first part and Ajaneesh the second, indicating that up to three directors might work on the film. However, industry insiders strongly believe that Thaman will be the sole provider of the background music, although clarity will only emerge with an official announcement.







A Rare Feat for Pushpa 2



"Pushpa 2" marks a significant achievement as Allu Arjun, previously known primarily to the Telugu audience, garnered a global fan base following the success of "Pushpa" (2021). With the film achieving pan-India and overseas success, "Pushpa 2" has generated substantial hype among international audiences. Pre-sale bookings have recently opened overseas, and the first 15,000 tickets sold out in record time—a first for an Indian film in America. The "Pushpa" team has released a special poster to announce this milestone.

There's a significant craze for multi starrer films in Tollywood. Seeing two star heroes on the same screen is a feast for the audience's eyes. In the past, such multi starrer films were made on a large scale, but recently, their frequency has decreased. Consequently, the audience also shifted their interest away from the multistarrer mania. However, after 'RRR,' the demand for such films has resurged. With the right story, Telugu stars are ready to engage in multistarrer projects again. Recently, there have been rumors about new combinations like Chiranjeevi-Pawan-Charan, Ram Charan-Suriya. Now, there's buzzing news about a Balakrishna-Ram Pothineni combo film. Let's dive into the details.



Multistarrer Loading..!



Heroes like Nandamuri Balakrishna and Ram Pothineni, who have a strong following among mass audiences, are at the forefront. Actor Balakrishna has been targeting mass audiences with his films for some time. Although Ram started his career with lover boy roles, he has recently shifted focus to action films, appearing in movies like 'iSmart Shankar,' 'Skanda,' and 'Double iSmart.' The news of these two heroes coming together for a multistarrer has stirred excitement in Tollywood. Rumors suggest that the famous production house, Mythri Movie Makers, will be producing this project, and Kannada star hero Shivaraj Kumar might also join. However, there has been no official announcement from the production company yet. If this news turns out to be true, it will indeed be a festival for mass audiences.







Good Friendship



The personal relationship between hero Ram and Nandamuri Balakrishna is well-known. This was evident during the audio function of 'Skanda,' where Balakrishna graced the event as the chief guest and shared a close bond with Ram. In his speech, Ram showered praises on Balakrishna, stating that while he delights one generation, Balakrishna continues to enchant three. Balakrishna reciprocated by lifting Ram to the skies. This friendship transcends age, and if these two star heroes come together for a film, it's expected to shatter records.







Buzz on Charan - Suriya Combo!



A multistarrer featuring Global Star Ram Charan and Tamil star hero Suriya is rumored to be in the works. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for crafting love stories, is said to be directing this film. The script has reportedly been liked by Suriya, and it’s now awaiting Ram Charan’s approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this project is all set to go on floors, promising high-voltage fight sequences that could break box office records. Fans are posting eagerly, anticipating this could be one of the biggest Pan-India projects if it materializes.







Mega Heroes in a Multistarrer!



Among the directors close to the Mega family, Harish Shankar is a notable one. During the promotion of his film 'Mr Bachchan', Harish Shankar made significant comments about why he hasn't directed a pan-India film yet. He revealed that he is preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi, stating that if this project takes off, it would be the biggest pan-India film ever, surpassing all others. This news has the Mega fans celebrating and hoping the project goes on floors soon. Previously, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan worked together in 'Acharya', and Chiru had special cameos in 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera'. Pawan Kalyan also made brief appearances in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'.

After her film Pelli SandaD, Sreeleela made a mark with her glamour, and Bhagyashri is now ready to compete with her in Mr. Bachchan.







If Mr. Bachchan is a hit, Bhagyashri is sure to become a star heroine, according to film analysts.







However, since this film is a remake of the Hindi hit Raid, movie makers are confident it will succeed in Telugu as well.







Regardless of the film's outcome, her glamour is expected to reign supreme in Tollywood.







Already, her appearance in the first single from Mr. Bachchan has become the talk of the town, generating significant buzz among the youth.







Having already secured roles alongside star heroes like Ravi Teja and Vijay Deverakonda, this Bollywood beauty has now agreed to star in another Tollywood film.







She has bagged the role of the heroine in an upcoming Telugu film by Dulquer Salmaan, directed by Ravi, who previously worked as an assistant under director Parashuram.







There are also reports that she has an opportunity in an upcoming film with Natural Star Nani and director Sujit. An official announcement is awaited.

Examining Bhagyashri Borse’s background, this charming actress was born in Pune.







She made her acting debut in the Hindi film Yaariyan 2, having previously worked as a model in various ads.







Her role in the Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk commercials brought her fame.
