An entertaining first half

The story kicks off with scenes from Pawan Kalyan's childhood. His entry scene at the police station is quite impressive and sets the tone. From there, the main plot begins. Audiences are giving the first half a thumbs-up, calling it entertaining. However, many also feel the story is a bit routine.

Vintage Pawan Kalyan

Fans are saying it feels like they're watching the vintage Pawan Kalyan after a long time. His classic comedy timing, the action sequences, and the song 'Ekke Daaka' have all hit the mark. It seems director Harish Shankar played it safe, focusing on Pawan Kalyan's strengths rather than experimenting. The hero elevation scenes have also worked out well.

The interval scene

The audience is raving about the interval scene, calling it next-level stuff. Overall, the first half moves along at an entertaining pace. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' seems to have all the right ingredients for a proper commercial blockbuster.

A user commented, “#UstaadBhagatSingh — AURA of Ustaad perfect “Mass Anthem" for Pawan kalyan @ThisIsDSP hit it Out of Park ?? DSP brings back his classic “Power Star" energy. The music is loud, fast, and full of heavy beats that make you want to dance & feel like a celebration. @PawanKalyan signature mannerisms with that AURA giving goosebumps ?? Director @harish2you focuses on Fan service , Yes it worked Well ?? Even in a short promo, he builds tension and excitement quickly & Can’t Wait to see in Big Screen ."

With such a great reception, the picture is projected to perform well at the box office. Many people described it as a "blockbuster." The film is seen as a strong return for Pawan Kalyan, following the lacklustre reception to his last feature. A fan wrote, “My frnds watched and they said that #Ustaadbhagathsingh is like 100 x than commerical movies rlsd this decadeIt’s a sure shot blockbuster with heavy dosage of comedy fights emotions So with a positive response Let’s see how much #Pawankalyan will do."

How is the second half?

The second half also packs in some solid moments. Director Harish Shankar used every opportunity to elevate Pawan Kalyan's character. But, the film has its downsides. From start to finish, it's a complete one-man show by Pawan Kalyan. There are no fresh or new elements, which might make the audience feel it's all a bit predictable.

Thaman's BGM

Thaman's BGM

Some of the mass scenes feel repetitive, like something we've seen many times before. Both Raashii Khanna and Sreeleela didn't get much screen time to showcase their talent. However, Thaman's background score provides solid support where needed. In short, 'Ustaad' is a film made purely for the fans, running on Pawan Kalyan's raw energy.
