USTAAD BHAGAT SINGH | IN A NUTSHELL | TELUGU

1. The "Gabbar Singh" Formula is Dead The Hook: Directer Harish Shankar tried to copy-paste the 2012 Gabbar Singh magic, but audiences in 2026 are completely over it. The Issue: The movie relies on an outdated "rogue cop" template from a decade ago. It’s just a collection of disjointed hero-elevation scenes stuck together, without an actual engaging story to bridge them. 2. Overdose of Political Preaching The Hook: It felt less like a commercial cinema and more like an election campaign ad. The Issue: The script heavily forces Pawan Kalyan's real-life political ideology down the audience's throat. Instead of an organic plot, we get continuous, preachy political monologues. Scenes like forcing citizens to chant slogans at gunpoint completely backfired and alienated neutral family audiences. 3. Weak Villain = Zero Stakes The Hook: A mass hero is only as good as his villain, and this movie failed miserably here. The Issue: R. Parthiban is a phenomenal actor, but his character was written so poorly and with so little menace that there was zero tension. Because the villain felt weak, the conflict had absolutely no stakes—it felt like Pawan Kalyan was just fighting air. 4. Cringey Heroine Tracks & Glaring Age Gap The Hook: Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna were completely wasted in shallow, annoying roles. The Issue: The female leads had absolutely zero purpose in the plot except for filler comedy and songs. The lazily written radio jockey track tested the audience's patience, and the massive, glaring age gap between the lead pair during romantic scenes felt incredibly awkward on screen.
