This is the first time that Telugu film industry touched upon Wiki-Leaks kind of journalism. All in all, despite patriotic scenes, noble cause of journalism, the movie doesn’t hold interest due to bad packaging. Kalyan Ram and court scene in the end are.

A hero vs villain entertainer done on a template, and to cater to a section of escapism-lovers. Puri's fans will love the hero's characterization and dialogues. Kalyan Ram's best-ever performance. Outrage over black money is cinematic, impractical. A .

Puri Jagannadh has been following a similar template of screenplay from longtime. ‘Ism’ too goes in same way but court scene towards end of the movie, Kalyan Ram’s new look and his performance stand out. Typical Puri mark movie!.

‘Ism’ is a formulaic Puri mark movie with one court room episode executed at peak. Kalyan Ram’s hard work was visible through out fitting into a Puri’s monotonous hero template. Journalism is the best point to excite us and Puri used it. Analyzing.

. Keep your expectations in check if you are planning to watch it. Ism has the potential but in the end it turns out as just another Puri brand masala film with stereotype characters. Verdict: What the duck!.

Anoop and all the other technicians worked hard but couldn’t achieve the expected result. Cinematography was good and no other locations were left to shoot in Bangkok. Puri’s direction couldn’t attract the audience and as a writer his work was avera.

The plot was good, but the execution was pretty lame. In short, everything is spoiled due to lack of planning. ISM which could have been a better product faces lots of weakness due to Cliches and Lazy writing by Puri Jagannath. Also Puri has lifted most o.

On the whole, ISM is a very honest attempt from Kalyan Ram and Puri. The Nandamuri hero’s stunning performance, first half, and a gripping pre-climax are major assets. If you ignore the lackluster climax and some hurried up scenes here and there, ISM wi.
