Double iSmart elbows out Mr Bachchan at Box Office?

Deccan Chronicle  

No doubt, the much-hyped sequel ‘Double iSmart’ has good openings by repeatedly drawing Rs 4.5 crore net collections on day one in the two Telugu states and surpassed the collections of Mr Bachchan far ahead. It is considered a good opening for the Ram Pothineni film and also it had the advantage of being the sequel to earlier hit movie ‘iSmart Shankar,” says a distributor. Whereas, Mr Bachchan could reportedly anage to draw just Rs 3 plus crore net collections and falls short of 'Double iSmart ' on day one. “The competition was inevitable, yet Ravi Teja and Harris Shankar couldn’t draw sensational openings despite big promotions,” he adds Director Puri Jagannadh was looking for a comeback after duds like ‘Liger’ but he didn’t find an interesting script to strike a chord with the masses.
