Sardaar Gabbar Singh - 163 mins long video of self propaganda. Thattukovadam kashtam ra babu.


Story - 
Rattanpur is a village that still has a royal family with their internal feuds. There's a royal villain (Sharad Kelkar), a helpless princess (Kajal Aggarwal) & enters a maverick cop (Pawan Kalyan) who will save the helpless princess as well as the helpless people of the village from the royal villain.

Movie -
Since it's routine screenplay sticking to the basics, the film starts with introducing Sardaar Gabbar Singh as an orphan kid followed by the scenes reserved to establish Bhairav Singh (Sharad Kelkar) character through his heinous atrocities. Following this is the entry of the hero Sardaar Gabbar Singh (Pawan Kalyan) in Indo-Nepal region, ofcourse just for an action scene & an opportunity for Pawan Kalyan to say "Entire India is my jurisdiction". Anyways, the ways of Sardaar results in him getting transferred to Rattanpur. Now that the two characters are introduced, time for the princess Arshi (Kajal Aggarwal) to make her appearance in a scene right away trying to prove how helpless she is. Anyways blah blah comedy.... blah blah comedy in the name of romance.... blah blah an item song featuring Raai Laxmi... blah blah heroism... The stage is set... Bhairav Singh lusts for Arshi whereas Sardaar & Arshi are in love. blah blah, a forced accident scene involving kids to create sentiment for the well hyped interval bang.

Post interval, Bhairav Singh seeks revenge, Sardaar wants to help in things that doesn't concern him (what's the point of him mediating in selling the palace to a businessman, he's a cop for heaven's sake. But again it gives an opportunity to Pawan Kalyan to speak about CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility. Well he knows things people, remember it during next election) & as usual Arshi falls head over heels every time Sardaar shows some heroism. Blah blah comedy, well Brahmanandam is there so can't help. Suddenly, the love affair of Sardaar & Arshi gets revealed, she's royal blood, he's an orphan.. ergo from a lower caste. Oh why! Well an opportunity for Pawan Kalyan to speak up for lower caste people, you can guess the speech.

Enter the final act, Bhairav Singh over powers Sardaar in his own cunning way. Sardaar who is supposed to be more cunning, just doesn't see it coming & falls for the trap. While Sardaar grunts like every honest cop proving himself to be not corrupt, one thing leads to another, Bhairav Singh & Arshi's marriage is fixed. Anyways, during the Sangeet ceremony Sardaar goes there to plead forgiveness (?!) instead he's asked to entertain by dancing only because Bhairav Singh forgot to invite Shah Rukh Khan to perform. Let me admit, the whole Sangeet episode is the highlight of the film just like the antakshari scene in the prequel, Gabbar Singh. Sudden twist leading to action filled climax where it only takes one punch for our hero to win. Seriously?!

Oh yeah, Raja Sardaar Gabbar Singh continues.... Are they really gonna make the third part?

Performances -
Pawan Kalyan show all the way. Kajal Aggarwal looks pretty. Sharad Kelkar tries to look menacing. Brahmanandam tries to be funny. Urvashi succeeds in being funny. Ali is wasted & so is Tisca Chopra. Mukesh Rishi gets a decent role. Sanjjanaa in an almost dialogue less role. Long list of actors who've nothing much to do.

Plus -
1. Pawan Kalyan
2. Sangeet scene. Pawan Kalyan dancing to the songs of Megastar was super fun.

Minus -
Way too many to list.

My Rating - 2/5 (1 star for Pawan Kalyan, 0.5 for the comedy & 0.5 for everybody's dedication to complete remaining 70% shoot since this January)

Final Words - 163 mins long video of self propaganda.
