The Story
International mafia kingpin Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt), diagnosed with Glioma, is in a frantic race against time to escape death. A scientist proposes a groundbreaking solution: transferring his memories into another person's brain to achieve immortality. Their search for the perfect host brings them to Shankar (Ram Pothineni) in Hyderabad. The memory transfer sets off a chain of thrilling events that unfold on screen, making it a must-watch cinematic experience.

The movie had garnered a lot of buzz. The promos had managed to draw the eyeballs of the Telugu cine-goers. Will it live up to their expectations? Find out from their words below:

Venky Reviews: #DoubleISMART Follows a very similar template to the prequel. Ram's energy is the mainstay of the film and makes it bearable. However, the routine taking of Puri and the artificial drama like narration tests your patience. Ali's comedy track is so cringe that it makes us laugh at how stupid it is. Ram and few intriguing sequences stand out. If you liked the prequel, then this one may appeal to you. If not, it is an avoidable fare that offers nothing appealing.
Rating: 2.25/5

Ramesh Bala: #DoubleiSmart :An out-and-out mass entertainer: 🌟🌟🌟

A perfect commercial potboiler in which #PuriJagannadh almost succeeded in finding his mojo back and #RamPothineni excelled with his sensational performance.

The mass songs shook the theaters and romance is just at Par. Ram-Sanjay Dutt combination scenes feel fresh with a bombastic climax just like its prequel. The emotional portion worked out very well and the music was too good by #ManiSharma.
