t's been a long time we have seen a perfect Mass Masala entertainer like 'ISmart Shankar'. The film, which's directed by Puri Jagannath, has opened to solid box-office numbers on 18 July. The trade figures are quite massive in B and C centers.

Actor Ram's style and attitude, Puri Jagannath dialogues and direction, Mani Sharma's crazy background score and the glam show by Niddhi Agerwal and Nabha Natesh have made this film a high-octane entertainer and it's a feast for mass audiences. The highly appealing trailer, songs, and posters ensured a phenomenal opening on the first day of the film's release. As per the figures from trade analysts, ISmart Shankar has emerged as the biggest opener in Ram's career by minting 7.8 Cr share on day-1 (in AP and Telangana). Take a look at the area wise collections of ISmart Shankar for the first day:

Nizam- 3.43 Cr
Ceeded- 1.2 Cr
Vizag- 86 lakhs
East- 50 lakhs
West- 40 lakhs
Krishna- 53 lakhs
Guntur- 57 lakhs
Nellore- 30 lakhs

AP+TS-7.8cr

The best part is that the film has fetched half of the revenue for distributors on day-1 itself. Going by the trend, ISmart Shankar is likely to continue its box-office bonanza on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well. If it performs as per estimations, ISmart Shankar can be considered as a Superhit. Also, this success of this film was highly needed for director Puri Jagannath, as he's reeling under a series of disasters from the last few years.
