Here is the review round up of "Power***" by various critics
"The plot, though a little confusing keeps you entertained. The story oscialltes between Mumbai and Bangalore where police officer Bharat Kumar is the ONE man gift to the Police Department who has the power to put a full stop the notorious criminals Guru Talwar, Babloo and the king pin Nayak. Kelly Dorjee has shone as Don Nayak. Wish the movie was a little shorter though because I lost a few threads of the story here and there. In a parallel thread Bharat is doing everything in his control to keep together a well hidden family secret and fabricates a make believe world to keep his father alive. This time around it's the father-son bond that is milked".– Desimartini.com
"Puneet does a fantastic job as the super cop. While Mahesh Babu was excellent in Dookudu, Puneet beats him with his dancing skills. Puneet's dancing in the movie has been top notch. Trisha looks very glamorous in the movie and her voice over has been perfect. The movie will not let down the viewers at any point. It is a complete entertainment package for the Powerstar Fans". – Filmi Beat
"Power Star is packed with action, drama and romance.Power Star is true delight for the fans of Puneeth and glamorous Trishya. K. Mandesh done a good job in arranging all the elements nicely. The catchy music perfectly blends and enhances every action-packed sequence. Puneeth manages to pull off the stunts at ease and appears in an intense avatar. The sizzling chemistry of Puneeth and Trishya is the highlight of the movie who perfectly complements each other. Choreography is good and Trishya looks convincing in cute, innocent and glamorous role. The plot is simple and tightly knitted that goes well with all filmgoers."- Sandira.com
