Successful producer-cum-distributor Dil Raju has the reputation of accurately predicting the results of movies which he sees in advance.
History has given Telugu cinema industry enough examples where Dil Raju had bought the complete distribution rights of a few small movies after he was impressed with the special screening. Later, he pocketed multifold profits with those films. The rights of Kalyanram Nandamuri's earlier film 'Pataas' were also acquired by Raju after he was showcased the film at a screening. And, the film is the biggest commercial hit of the Nandamuri hero till date.
As per latest reports, Dil Raju has recently seen the special screening of Kalyanram's October 21st release 'Ism' and he has reportedly predicted the film will become a bigger hit than 'Pataas'. The already confident makers of 'Ism' were reportedly jubilant with Dil Raju's prediction, which rarely misses the target.
Relatively smaller runtime, Puri's dialogues, the international black money theme, fast paced screenplay, Kalyanram's transformation and performance and the last 20 minutes of the film are said to be the major highlights of this Puri Jagannath directorial.
