One of the most awaiting films of 2016, Pawan Kalyan starrer, Sardar Gabbar Singh released today. Let us see how critics responded to this film.

123Telugu.com gave the rating of 3 out of 5 and mentioned "It is Pawan’s solid screen presence and energetic performance that will bind you completely. Impressive first half and some stylish thrills are basic assets. But a weak story line, lengthy run time and a dragged out second half spoil the fun to an extent and make this film exclusive for fans only"

Indiaglitz rated the film 3 out of 5 and stated "Pawan's one-man show.  For those of you looking for him to do non-heroic comedy in khaki, this film has much stuff on platter"

The Times of India gave the rating of 2.5 out of 5 and mentioned "Gabbar Singh had marked the comeback of Pawan Kalyan after a long dull haul of nearly a decade and it is ironic how its sequel is the complete opposite and sees the actor in one of his most unimpressive films ever"

The Hindu gave 2.5 out of 5 and stated "In comparison, Gabbar Singh (2012) seems far more entertaining"

AP Herald gave 2.5 out of 5 and mentioned "Sardar Gabbar Singh has Actions, Heroism, Love, Emotion, Sympathy and all other elements needed for a successful movie only problems is that these elements failed to produce needed AURA all put together. Sardar Gabbar Singh has its moments but half of Gabbar Singh only."

GreatAndhra gave the rating of 2.5 out of 5 and stated "All in all, “Sardar Gabbar Singh” is a mess of inconsequential scenes with no coherence, no entertainment. It’s doubtful whether his fans will also like this borefest!"

Filmbeat.com gave the rating of 2.5 out of 5 and mentioned "We overheard a fan saying 'who would need a screenplay, when we have Powerstar on screen', while walking out of the theatre. Ahem! Sardar Gabbar Singh is strictly for the guys, who concur with this fan-boy"

Telugu One gave 2 out of 5 and stated "Fans might enjoy Pawan's dances, shy-acting and punch dialogues but other audiences will feel difficult to pass the 163 minutes run time. Box office collection will depend on Pawan's stamina, probably Summer holidays are throwing in some advantage"

Though critics gave average reviews, audience gave different opinion, and average viewer's rating stand at 3.15 out of 5, which looks good.
