Pawan Kalyan towers over everything else. It’s a tailor made role that carries the movie forward. His body language and dialogue delivery take the cake. The music score by Devi Sri Prasad stands out and enhances the whole experience. The action sequences also have been well choreographed. The movie sets a new benchmark as far as “paisa vasool” goes.
The Hindu
The film is indulgent. The overdose of Pawan Kalyan’s swagger and slow-motion shots slacken the pace. At some point in the film, you wonder if there’s no room for subtleties as dialogue renditions remain over the top. But despite its shortcomings, Gabbar Singh is a fun ride. After the initial few minutes, you stop comparing Gabbar with Chulbul Pandey and the film with Dabangg. Therein lies its success.
Deccan Chronicle
Although Pawan carries the film entirely on his shoulders, there is nothing to write home about his onscreen chemistry with Shruti. She is wasted in a role where she has little to do apart from smiling and looking gorgeous. The much-hyped item number Kevvu Keka was a chartbuster, but onscreen it is a big let-down despite Malaika.

Pawan Kalyan rocks in and as Gabbar Singh. After Kushi, this particular role can be seen as the best in his career. His comedy timing is superb, coupled with mass stunts and dances. Gabbar Singh seems to be tailor made for Pawan Kalyan. The director did follow the original script of Dabangg in most sequences, but gave more importance to comedy. The first half is filled with mass masala, while the second half turns hackneyed, but the drawback is instantly overcome thanks to the comedy.

Gabbar Singh is the actually the remake of Dabangg but Harish Shankar had made several changes to it in the name of nativity. The movie has good comedy, superb dialogues and some very entertaining episodes from Pawan.This one will be a genuine hit, registering repeat audience for sure.Finally, GabbarSingh is going to be the winner of this summer.Gabbar Singh Movie Entertains Everyone go and Watch it.
Deccan Herald
It’s Pawan Kalyan all the way, who fights and mouths choicest dialogues. Shruti Hassan looks gorgeous as the petite village belle. She proves her talent, despite being consigned to a secondary role. Suffice to say Gabbar Singh is strictly for Pawan Kalyan’s loyals.
Idlebrain
I haven’t liked Pawan Kalyan’s movies post Kushi as he didn’t try to do appealing films to general crowds (Jalsa was a slight abberation). Gabbar Singh is one film I liked after Kushi. It doesn’t mean that I am completely satisfied, but it’s good. There are a few drawbacks in the movie, but Pawan Kalyan made sure that he is the sole reason for you to watch the movie and get entertained.

Pawan Kalyan’s fans will have a very enjoyable time while watching Gabbar Singh. The movie has good comedy, superb dialogues and some very entertaining episodes from Pawan. A faster second half and a better climax block would have really elevated the film. Still, the sheer brilliance of the first half and a sterling performance from Pawan make Gabbar Singh a solidly entertaining watch. Thumbs up for Gabbar Singh.
IndiaGlitz
All in all, GS is a treat to Pawan’s fans, but it has not been made for the first week audience alone. This one will be a genuine hit, registering repeat audience for sure.

While there are many counters and punch lines which must be enjoyed in the theatres only, the film stands as a true example for an apt formula film which will fill the stomach of the commercial summer audience. At the box office, since there is nobody around for the next two weeks, the film will register thumping collections. And given the impact of songs like ‘Kevvu Keka’ and ‘Akasam Ammayaithe..’ the chances of repeat audience is also high. We could be looking at a registered blockbuster here.

Pawan Kalyan unleashes his box office stamina and has excelled with incredible energy levels in this film. He showed his commitment in dances, diction, action scenes and delivered an amazing performance. Recommended for Pawan Kalyan’s stellar performance and Devi Sri Prasad’s fantastic music.
Oneindia
Undoubtedly Pawan Kalyan fans will enjoy the film as he delights his fans with comedy and punchy dialogues. Moreover, many of the action scenes would attract the front benchers. The film would definitely go well with ‘B’ and ‘C’ centres. The film would definitely fill the coffers of the producer.
