A couple of holes in the script, a weak and meaningless comedy track and lackluster music come in the way of the Pen Singams roar. Rediff noted Technically, the film manages to scrape through its the script that stumbles and almost grinds to a halt frequently, while the cast itself looks clueless and plain out of it, at times. Logic has gone for a toss as well and of reason, theres very little. ........
