Description: The Fruit of Evil 2022 is a film that explores the concept of forbidden fruit, a term historically linked to the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. According to the biblical narrative, Adam and Eve were commanded by God not to eat this fruit, but they disobeyed, leading to their exile from Eden. The phrase “forbidden fruit” has since become a metaphor for any indulgence or pleasure deemed illegal or immoral. The movie was released on July 18, 2019, and achieved significant commercial success, remaining in theaters for over 100 days. Plans for a sequel, titled *Double iSmart*, have been announced.
The story follows Ismart Shankar, a street-smart assassin working under another assassin named Kaka. Shankar’s life takes a turn when he meets Chandini, a strong-willed woman he encounters while extorting money from a builder. Despite initial resistance, Chandini eventually warms up to Shankar, and the two escape to Goa after Shankar assassinates CM Kasi Vishwanath on Kaka’s orders. However, their life on the run ends tragically when Chandini is killed in a police shootout and Shankar is arrested.
Meanwhile, a neuroscientist named Sara is making breakthroughs in memory transfer technology with successful experiments on rats. Her fiancé, Arun, a CBI officer investigating Kasi Vishwanath’s murder, suspects that a higher power orchestrated the assassination. The film received mixed reviews, with praise for the performances, score, and action sequences, but criticism for its second half and climax.
