Review: One of the best performances of Pawan Kalyan one could ever see. His performance in the movie is absolutely charismatic and electrifying. Shruti Haasan role in the movie as good and so do was of the Abhimanyu Singh. Songs of the movie are very good and so do is the music. Story of the movie is almost same as the Dabangg movie of Bollywood but it is a very good remake made by Harish Shankar. His direction of the movie was brilliant. A great movie is the one which comprises all the components of the movie that is actors’ performance, direction, Songs, Screenplay etc at its level best and yes, Gabbar Singh movie comprises all that and for that the movie is a Solid entertainer and a must watch movie.

Stars given: 4 out of 5.
