Double iSmart: Sci-Fi Sequel Fails to Deliver, Struggles with Outlandish Plot

Deccan Chronicle  

Director: Puri Jagannadh Rating: 2/5 stars After a flop like Liger, noted director Puri Jagannadh returns with Double iSmart but the sci-fi plot he has chosen is not exciting enough. If Puri Jagannadh thought that he could pull off a action film with just hero and villain characterisation and double sim card trick to keep audience engaged, he is bit wrong. Since his script turns outrageous as it harps on South Indians protesting for separate nation and Sanjay Dutt would supply them guns to trigger civil war. When Sanjay is diagnosed with brain tumor, he is advised memory transfer and few experiments fail before they find Ram Pothineni who is carrying a memory card on his head.
