Sardaar Gabbar Singh Movie review


It is Telugu new year UGADI for all of us and much more bigger festival for fans of Pawan Kalyan as the Power Star’s “Sardaar Gabbar Singh” releases with lots of hopes and anticipation.. Director Bobby who earlier directed “Power” has directed Powerstar this time.. Eros produces the film along with Sharath marrar.. Kajal Aggarwal plays the female lead.

Plot: If you have seen the trailer you have seen it all.. Rattanpur and its surroundings are under clutches of cruel Bhirav Singh(Sharad Kelkar) who grabs all the fertile land for mining . It is then our Sardaar gabbar singh arrives as CI to the town.. So you have to watch on Big screen how Gabbar singh helps the villagers and wins the heart of the princess Arshi (Kajal).

One man show of Sardaar..
Pawan kalyan wants to continue the tradition of Gabbar singh like that of James Bond. He himself has provided the Story and Screenplay. Pawan Kalyan as an actor has given more than double what his fans are waiting to see on screen… There are good number of action sequences … He is cool and fresh in romantic scenes with Kajal .. there are not many one liners like in the first part but this time he tried good dance movements and he even imitated his brother the Megastar chiru with very famous Veena step from Indra.. It is completely mass oriented subject and so it is entirely on his shoulders and he is at his usual best..

Kajal for the first time shares screen with Pawan Kalyan and she is gorgeous as princess. She is also big plus for the film.
Sharad Kelkar plays the man villain Bhirav Singh. He acted in lot of hindi serials and recently dubbed for Prabhas for Baahubali(hindi). His voice is his biggest asset and he plays his part well.
Ali is seen as Samba. Mukesh Rishi, Brahmaji , Tanikella Bharani,Krishna Bhagawan, Rao Ramesh, urvashi etc play crucial roles.. Brahmanandam role is good this time.  Laxmi Raai does item. Kabir as sidekick and Sanjana as villian’s wife are wasted.

Good first half..
The plot and premise are neatly set up and the way Gabbar Singh enters the Rattanpur.. his meeting with the Kajal .. And the way the Hero jovially takes charge and brings the things into his control and his bigger tiff with the villain at the interval.. All summed up makes promising first half..

Graph comes down towards the routine climax
It’s after 30 mins after the interval break.. Everything that ran smoothly till then starts rushing up and at the same time becomes repetitive… one mass song “Khakee Chokka” is badly pictured in foreign locales. While Pawan dancing for chirus Song is good but the entire wrapper of that Sangeet dance competition is badly choreographed.  It is poor follow up for the brilliant Gabbar singh’s Anthakshari episode.  And Climax turns out be routine shooting fare.

Other departments…
DSP music is not up to the mark of the first Gabbar Singh. But “O Pilla Subhanalla…” and “Tauba Tauba” stands out musically and on screen .. Nee chepakallu comes next.. Arthur Wilson provides rich visuals. Director Bobby handles the introduction scenes and elevation scenes well but not conclude it safely.

Purely for Pawan Kalyan..
 After having the bad experience with Jhonny.. Pawan kalyan did not experiment much and tried out the time tested plot with needed commercial ingredients. He has done his best in giving what his fans are waiting for… Flaws are seen in second half due to rushed up shooting which happened mostly towards the end. Pawan Kalyan.. Romantic track… Definitely a bunch of good scenes and a decent first half collectively make it an ok watch.  Now it all depends on Power Star’s stamina to keep the collections ringing ….
