• IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,July 18 2019]

• iSmart Shankar movie just started. Run time is 140 minutes. Watch this space for LIVE updates. [ 8:52 am ]
• The film starts out talking about brain function, throwing around terms like neurons and RNA. Ram Pothineni enters the screen as a criminal daring the cops. [ 8:59 am ]
• The title song takes off after Ram reels off a few wacky lines. Nabha Natesh is seen as a rowdy civil engineer. [ 9:08 am ]
• Get-up Srinu is seen as an auto driver and the hero's friend. Asish Vidhyarthi and Tulasi seen. The Old City backdrop is colourful. The love track is typically Puri Jagannadh-esque. [ 9:22 am ]
• Action scenes are expected to go up in number. Satyadev and Nidhhi Agerwal set to be important in the story from now. [ 9:38 am ]
• Shayaji Shinde seen in an important role. Gun battles are seen here and there. Sci-fi element introduced. [ 9:45 am ]
• Shankar is in for trouble. He needs to discover a secret. [ 10:04 am ]
• Interval [ 10:05 am ]
• One feels the film is sliding too often into forced songs. The second half may well present a crazy rom-com track. The sound design is of excellent quality. [ 10:25 am ]
• The second half infuses some situational humour. The proceedings are farcical, given that the story is about investigating the murder of a former chief minister. [ 10:42 am ]
• The second half blends action and elements like romance. 'Undipo' song comes with a picturization that is discordant with the lyrics. [ 10:56 am ]
• The climax is conveniently written. Predictable to the core. Ram shines through the script. [ 11:20 am ]
• The End [ 11:25 am ]
