Rating Score -> 3.5/5

I would recommend Dabangg 3 for all those people who want to see Salman in his form and doing what he does best. Don’t think too much, immerse yourself in the narrative, remind yourselves about the first two installments of the Dabangg franchise. If you haven’t seen them, do watch them and go to watch this one, only then will you have a more fulsome experience. Having said that, the film is a standalone watch as well.

If you are a fan of Salman Khan movies, which is as formulaic as they come, you'd no doubt enjoy it. Even if you don't count yourself a fan, you'd find Dabangg 3 a highly entertaining masala movie which is true to its genre. Can one expect anything more from a Salman Khan movie?

Bite this bullet only if you are fanatical about Khan and he can do no wrong in your eyes. For those who don’t wear those starry blinkers, sit this one out.

Rating Score -> 3.0/5

Overall, the film has all the ingredients required for a massy masala entertainer — good action, music, drama and, of course, Salman packing all of this in one story. The portions where the actor throws in comedy while doing hardcore action scenes are nicely done. 'Dabangg 3' shows Salman in his element – throwing deadly blows at the villains amidst all the smoke, dust and fire, while you can hear chants of Hudd Hudd Dabangg in the background. And those certainly will be paisa-vasool moments for Salman Khan's fans.

Rating Score -> 3.5/5

All in all, Dabangg 3 is 'mazedaar', 'dhamakedaar', 'dumdaar', 'zordaar', and above all, full-on 'masaledaar', just as a Salman Khan movie should be. It's a proper Salman Khan mass film after some time and should set the theaters, especially single screens, on fire.

Rating Score -> 2/5

Dabangg 3 is the kind of film where stomping someone’s groin is accompanied by the sound of smashing glass. And just when we thought that Khan had impressed us with every muscle group possible, in a song, he even flexes his glutes (posterior) without actually moving.

Overall, Dabangg 3 is an entertaining affair thanks to Salman Khan and Kichcha Sudeepa's towering presence and antics.

Rating Score -> n/a

Dabangg 3 is as unnecessary as a remake of an item song, a romantic angle between another woman 30 years younger than you, and brutality when dealing with protestors, criminals or general public.

Rating Score -> 1/5

Lacking the calibre to create something fresh, the makers pick on the most popular attributes of the original -- the catchy dialogues, the quirky name by scribbling the sloppiest possible Chulbul Pandey origins that does little besides prolong the Dabangg 3 torture to nearly three hours long.

Rating Score -> 2/5

Dabangg 3 is formulaic, senseless and loud, and offers little respite to anyone other than ardent Salman Khan fans. The idea to make the film both as a prequel and sequel may look intriguing on paper. But the predictable treatment by Prabhudeva loses the film an opportunity to veer off into an interesting direction. That makes Dabangg 3, while offering Bhai fans a few moments to cheer, the weakest in the franchise.

Rating Score -> 1.5/5

When, right in the beginning, our Chulbul gave us a glimpse of his incredibly muscled legs, I thought, wait up, is this one really going to be different? No bare chest? Of course not. We get two for the price of one, Sudeep’s as well as Salman’s. Sorry bros, ain’t workin’.

On the whole, Dabangg 3 is the weakest in the Dabangg franchise as it has mediocre content. In this age of content-rich cinema, this one looks like a dated film. It will do below-average business at the box-office. Of course, it will join the Rs. 100-crore club but its entry into the Rs. 200-crore club looks like a distant dream.

Rating Score -> 2.5/5

However, like all Salman Khan starrers Dabangg 3 rests heavily on its leading man to work his charm at the box-office and given Salman Khan’s serendipitous ability to do so time and again, it is quite likely that he will.

Some films are experiences, and therefore, shouldn't be restricted with star ratings, or discussions about the film's merit. A Salman Khan film, in this context, is a rollercoaster ride. You buy a ticket, stand in line, take your seat, buckle yourself up, and pray to the almighty that you don't puke on thy neighbour.

When you step into Dabangg 3, you know you’re in for a Salman Khan extravaganza.  Which would be fine if there was some attempt to tweak the formula or push it into a new direction.  But sadly, the makers seem content to deliver another dose of the same.  But it’s been 9 years.  Even the mighty Chulbul needs an upgrade.
