Pawan Kalyan Movie Ustaad Bhagat Singh Released

Pawan Kalyan’s movie Ustaad Bhagat Singh was released on March 19, 2026, earning ₹9.94 crore by 1 pm on its opening day. The film’s total gross collections reached ₹37.17 crore by the end of Day 1, indicating a strong box office performance despite facing piracy issues.

Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Ustaad Bhagat Singh stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role. The film revolves around the titular character, Bhagat Singh, who stands against injustice, a theme that resonates with many in the audience.

On its opening day, the film sold approximately 41,000 tickets and earned ₹31.50 crore in the Telugu-speaking belt alone. This performance surpassed that of another recent release, Dhurandhar 2, with Ustaad Bhagat Singh achieving 93.3 percent more earnings among Telugu audiences.

However, the film has received mixed reviews from critics. One film critic described it as “A Completely Outdated Commercial Entertainer!” noting that while commercial films do not need innovative writing, they should at least offer some freshness. Another critic remarked, “This one misses his trademark energy. Boring! Rating: 2/5.”

Despite the criticisms, the film’s box office success suggests that Pawan Kalyan’s star power continues to attract audiences. Observers are keen to see how the film performs in the coming weeks, especially in light of the piracy issues it has faced.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential impact of these piracy issues on the film’s long-term earnings. The mixed reviews may also influence audience turnout in subsequent days.
