Teaser Review: Ism

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,September 05 2016]

The teaser of 'Ism' comes with typical Puri Jagannadh markings. A hero who comes with a smattering of an alien language (Spanish, in this case. Kalyan Ram says 'Un Dos Tres', which is 1, 2, 3), a heroine who is rough n' tough, a hero who specializes in at least one stunt technique, and more.

Released as a Ganesh festival special, the teaser positions the film as Kalyan Ram's most stylish flick as yet. Wearing a stubble, sporting a six pack abs 'avatar', putting a beedi in between the lips, the Nandamuri actor is at his most aggressive, massiest and stylish get-up ever.

While Jagapathi Babu, wearing that salt n' pepper look once again is snazzy, there apparently is the element of a journalist (played by Kalyan Ram) becoming a law-breaker to take on a mafia. Jagapathi plays Javed Bhai, Kalyan Ram's "beedi friend". Watch out for Alia Khan's (played by Aditi Arya) tantrums. The masked man is most violent, by the way.

Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Tanikella Bharani, Posani Krishna Murali, JP Reddy, Ali, Eeshwari Rao, Vennela Kishore, Banda Raghu, Shatru, Ajay Ghosh, Srikanth, Kotesh Madhava, Nayan and Ravi are part of the cast.

Music-directed by Anup Rubens, it has cinematography by Mukesh. Editing is by Junaid. Lyrics are by Bhaskarabhatla. Action choreography is by Jani.
