Super 30

Story :

The story of Super 30 starts in 1996 portraying Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) as a brilliant
student. He gets declined in a library which inspires him after he is badly hurt. After suffering
local tragedy, Anand gets a chance to teach in a local coaching center. With heaps of money
dumped in this education system, Anand Kumar decides to carve out 30 students and train
them for IIT for free. The story of Super 30 is all about the hurdles and challenges Anand faces
to make them winners. Watch the film to know about the rest.
20 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2019

3.25/5

Analysis :

Super 30 is a biopic that is based on the life story of Anand Kumar based in Bihar. The director
takes his time to set the right premises and the emotional drama is the major highlight of Super
30. Keeping the performances aside, the film has enough highs and lows. The narration at
times look dead slow but strikes hard. The first half of Super 30 has impressive moments and
keeps good expectations on the second half.
The second half of Super 30 looks beautiful though its slow paced. Hrithik Roshan along with
everyone shines well in their roles with perfection. The background score elevates the film well.
With stellar performances and poetic narration, Super 30 second half lives up the expectations
and makes a decent watch.

Final Word:

Hrithik Roshan and his team deliver a strong emotional drama and Super 30 is a
winner for sure.

Dear Comrade

Story :

Dear Comrade is the story of Chaitanya alias Bobby (Vijay Devarakonda) and Lily (Rashmika
Mandanna). Bobby and Lily are childhood friends while Bobby is a student leader, Lily is a state
cricket player who dreams of making it to the country. They fall in love with each other and face
several struggles in the new journey. The rest of Dear Comrade is all about their emotional journey
and how they realize about life and love. Watch Dear Comrade to know about the rest.

Analysis :

The first half of Dear Comrade is packed with romance, entertainment, action and emotional
drama in the right amounts. Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna top the show with their
outstanding performances. Their chemistry has been top class. The songs and the background
score are the added assets of Dear Comrade.
22 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2019

3/5

With an interesting interval bang, the first half of Dear Comrade looks interesting and
impressive. The first half of Dear Comrade appeals majorly for youth.
The second half takes a dip because of the slow pace and the huge dosed emotional drama.
Some of the episodes look dragged but the film has its moments which elevate the film well.
The performances have been top-notch and the songs are undoubtedly the savior for Dear
Comrade. The second half of Dear Comrade ends up with a strong emotional message that will
impress the audience. On the whole, the second half of Dear Comrade sounds decent but falls
short of the expectations.

Final Word:

Dear Comrade is hard-hitting, emotional and entertaining to the core. Except for the slow pace,
Dear Comrade offers everything needed.

iSmart Shankar

Story :

Ismart Shankar is the story of Ustaad (Ram) who is the accused in a crime. He tries to avenge
the death of his girlfriend (Nabha Natesh). Things change after a chip gets inserted for Ustaad.
The rest of the story is about Ustaad's hunt for a man and the consequences that lead to his
hunt. Ismart Shankar is all about Ustaad's relation with a CBI Officer (Satya). Watch Ismart
Shankar to know about the rest.

Analysis :

Ismart Shankar starts on a racy note and Puri takes his time to narrate about the character of
Ustaad. The one-liners of Puri Jagannadh will impress the audience big time. The songs have
been canned and presented well in the first half.
24 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2019

The interesting interval bang is the major highlight of the first half. Manisharma's background
score should have a special mention. The first half of Ismart Shankar is a package of all the
ingredients in the right amounts.

The most crucial second half of Ismart Shankar falls flat because of the predictable treatment.
The routine narration and the poor climax disappoint the audience big time. Ismart Shankar is
sure a treat for masses and will not appeal to family crowds. The songs have been good. Ram
carries the entire film on his shoulders and his dance moves are exceptional. The revenge
formula episodes should have been taken enough care of. On the whole, the second half of
Ismart Shankar misses the mark.

Final Word:

Ram steals the show with his stellar performance, dance moves and transformation.
After an impressive first half, the second half of Ismart Shankar turns down due to the
predictable narration.
