Copy of English movie
senthilkg30 July 2019
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.

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

Ram is saving grace
atj-1932013 February 2021
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.

Logic less movie

Seriously!! You can enter into a CM house that easily and kill him?? The only positive point in this movie is Ram's acting. I don't know what happened to Puri's direction. He should do movies like Temper.

Sending wrong messages

Warning: Spoilers
I saw a scene where the actor wanted the actress to fall in love with him but actress didn't wanted the same so he started forcing her and apparently then she fall in love with him! I mean what they telling to say that if some women doesn't wanna be with you forcing her like that will make her fall in love? I don't think that's appropriate to show in an Indian cinema

Genuinely iSmart
bishabishi20 July 2019
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
mbbskbhasker31 July 2019
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
Ali_Asgar18 February 2020
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.

eswarnsv18 July 2019
Came with some new idea... Good mass film... Ram and Nabha rocked... Niddhi also done good job... We can find puri mark in complete first half... But second half is like normal movie... He might try something different in second half... Overall movie is good... Climax was lag and week...

Very routine
vjnambu21 February 2020
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.

iSmart is nothing but Ram's excellent acting; Mani Sharma's music brilliance and 2 Gorgeous Heroines.
shaikrizwan12327 July 2019
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!

Worst copy of 2016 Ryan's Criminal movie.. without a credit
naren-reviews12 November 2019
Watch it if you dare to spend your time for nothing... or better watch the English movie Criminal (2016). The director/producer should understand about this digital era, people watch international movies through Amazon, Netflix etc. You can't just copy a movie without even crediting them.

For people think that this is a copy of iBoy movie.. No, these funny dialogues on this movie just call that technology as sim card because the hero is an illiterate. Otherwise, there is nothing to take from iBoy where the iphone gets infused into hero's brain. Its just a pure copy of Ryan Reynold's Criminal (2016) movie.

Hero dedication wasted but movie commercial hit.
bakri-3577513 January 2020
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...
