Ism

My Review:- 2.5/5

Genre: Action - Drama

Theatre watched : Brahmaramba 70MM

Censor Rating : "U/A"

Run time : 132 Min

Pre release Expectations :

Finally "Ism" provides a chance to see a complete make over from Kalyan Ram...Theatrical trailer showcases Puri mark every where...It is produced by kalyan Ram himself...Jagapathi Babu portrayed an important role...Aditi Arya is playing lead and this is her debut movie...Anup rubens composed tunes for this flick...Let's see whether it enthrals the audiences or not???

Did it reach the expectations ???

My Review :-
Puri mark is written every where in "ISM" and is far better than his previous outing "Loafer"...But a better execution of the script would have made a difference...On the whole,an average outing...!!!

Highlights:-
kalyan ram undoubtedly gave his career best right from body transformation to acting.
These days Puri is trying to imbibe a social message in his movies.As usual hero characterisation is brilliant.
Pre climax episodes which involves court scene.
Cinematography is good.
Production values are rich.
Less run time.

Disappointments:-

A social message story should have strong emotional sequences or heavier background cause associated with it. This is lagging in this movie.

Love track between lead pair is boring.

Puri template movie.

Very ordinary screenplay.

Aditi Arya looked cute but she need to work a lot on her acting skills.

Music by Anup is mediocre.

Jagapathi Babu characterisation is dynamic and never felt serious.

Fails to strike emotional chord.

Engaging moments:-.
Court scene.
