Son of Sardaar is an opportunity wasted
This film lacks the punch that Shetty manages each time. I am sure it's tough to shoot scenes with human beings and cars flying and director Ashvini Dhir gets all that right but what's tougher is to club all the larger than life heroism with a good script which Dhir just doesn't get. (more)

Don�t mess with a Sardaar!
A remake of the Telugu hit Maryaada Ramanna directed by SS Rajamouli, who himself whacked the premise from a 1920s Buster Keaton hit, Son of Sardaar is only sporadically entertaining, and peddles the same tired stereotypes of Punjab and Sikhs.(more)

Son of Sardaar is exhausting, painfully loud and way too long, with too few laughs.
These aren't so much films as series of running gags, interspersed with action sequences, instantly forgettable songs and nonsensical dialogue. The idea, I think, is to be entertained without straining your brain. I'm all for it, as long as there is significant entertainment. (more)

Torturous
If the Son of Sardaar could have taken them on, why didn't he just do it right at the beginning instead of being scared, feigning a broken back, being scared for his life some more, clowning around, being scared again, singing and dancing, fearing for his life only to finally step out of the house bravely to give everyone a sound thrashing.(more)

SOS is worth a watch, a complete family entertainer
Certain portions are a bit of a drag, but the comic sequences will make up for the monotony. The cast has put up a good show.(more)

Son of Sardaar is for lovers of hardcore masala movies
SON OF SARDAAR stays most faithful to the ideology of providing unabashed entertainment, while logic, expectedly, takes a backseat. But who's expecting a movie with smart repartee and loads of enlightenment anyway?(more)
