Ustaad Bhagat Singh

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is back on the big screen… but was Ustaad Bhagat Singh actually worth the wait?

In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we break down Harish Shankar’s latest commercial entertainer and ask the big question: is this a proper comeback film, or just another outdated mass masala template?

We get into the routine first half, the strange tonal shift in the second half, the forced politics, the comedy that mostly doesn’t land, and whether this really deserves to be compared to Gabbar Singh.

If you’ve watched Ustaad Bhagat Singh and have thoughts, this one’s for you.
