Gang Leader shines in parts but is let down by a haphazard screenplay
Nani is the film's heart and soul and brings Gang Leader to life with his charm, wit and classic humour. But the haphazard nature of the script, a sluggish screenply and an overdose of melodrama hampers what had the potential to be a total laugh riot. The film's USP is its humour, but when even that isn't the best it could be, you know you're in trouble.(more)

Funny and Engaging
Gang Leader is a novel crime thriller which is filled with good fun and crsip narration. Nani leads from the front and is ably supported by some taut performances which hold the film well. The suspense and comedy go hand in hand and if you ignore the slightly dull climax, this film makes up for an engaging watch this weekend. Recommended.(more)

Fun, watchable but offers nothing new
Gang Leader, a crime thriller laced with comedy elements is exciting on paper but the same has not been translated onto the screen. This is a film that runs on a predictable arc throughout, with a hurried and regular climax.(more)

Gang Leader is an inventive, wildly entertaining comedy with a great ensemble performance.
Gang Leader's humour work mainly due to the effortless performances of its central characters. Saranya Ponvannan is a riot as the gang-member with a penchant for making Tamarind rice, while Lakshmi's punchy one-liners adds more to the lighter tone of the film. Nani effervescent portrayal as the pulp novelist Pencil Parthasarathy completely absolves the character from the tropes of a regular commercial hero, which emerges as one of the bigger strengths. Mirosla Kuba Brojek's cinematography excels in mood creation whilst balancing the lighter tone of comedy with the stark nature of a murder mystery. Overall, Gang Leader is an unpredictable and engaging comedy.(more)

Nani is the star in a funny but illogical film
Gang Leader is brilliant in certain parts. If only that could have been extended to form the entire film. If only.(more)

Nani's latest is fun, watchable, but nothing special
Gang Leader packs in some interesting characters, delivers a few laughs and makes for a decent watch. It also tips its hat to the original Gang Leader, Chiranjeevi.(more)
