Double iSmart rides on unfavorable headlines after clocking in Rs. 7.5 cr in 2 days?

The much-anticipated sequel "Double iSmart" had a strong opening on Thursday, but on Friday, its box office receipts declined, indicating that it needs to pick up speed to reclaim its glory. "With a high price tag, the movie brought in an additional Rs 20+ crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, on top of its Rs 7.5 crore net collections in just two days," a distributor reports. Undoubtedly, the potent blend of Ram Pothineni and Puri Jagannadh generated interest and anticipation for the movie, resulting in ticket sales on the first day of release. "The audience would have crowned the movie a winner if it had been better than mediocre, but Ram's unconventional behavior and the 'double sim' transfer have hurt the picture's chances," he continues.
