Ustaad Bhagat Singh Twitter review

Many called it an "outdated commercial entertainer" without freshness. One wrote, "Harish Shankar falters on both comedy and commercial writing. Thaman tries to elevate with his BGM but has little scope. PK tries in parts, but this one misses his trademark energy (sic)."

Another user praised Pawan Kalyan's look, screen presence and dialogues, bu called it an "outdated drama," making the film suffer despite the star appeal.

"Pawan looks impressive, brings back some of his signature mannerisms, and even delivers a few energetic dance moves that fans will enjoy. There are plenty of one-liners aimed at pleasing his mass audience. However, the biggest drawback lies in the film’s outdated core. The mass elements feel highly predictable (sic)," posted by an X user.

Earlier, the director confirmed that there are no political references or provocative dialogues in Ustaad Bhagat Singh and it has been made for 100% entertainment.
