#OneWordReview...

#Pushpa2: MEGA-BLOCKBUSTER.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

Wildfire entertainer... Solid film in all respects... Reserve all the awards for #AlluArjun, he is beyond fantastic... #Sukumar is a magician... The #Boxoffice Typhoon has arrived. #Pushpa2Review

#Sukumar knows well that #Pushpa2 carries the weight of humongous expectations and he delivers by crafting a narrative that's packed with unexpected twists and turns, precisely why #Pushpa2 works bigtime.

Another plus is the high-octane action sequences, meticulously choreographed to perfection... Additionally, the dialogues, much like in the first part, amplify the impact of the well-structured sequences.

Now, to the vital question: Is the runtime [3 hours, 20 minutes] excessive? Could certain scenes have been trimmed for a tighter narrative? Absolutely not. Editor #NaveenNooli's editing is watertight, ensuring the pacing remains taut and leaving no room for restlessness.

Music? While #Pushpa2 may not have a soundtrack that grabs you on the first listen, #DSP's compositions come alive on screen, perfectly complementing the narrative.

#Pushpa2 cements #AlluArjun's status as one of #India's finest actors. His trademark swag and impeccable dialogue delivery add tremendous depth to his performance.

#FahadhFaasil, as the ruthless police officer, is outstanding. An incredible talent... #RashmikaMandanna also makes her presence felt at key moments, despite the focus being on the two male leads.

Final word? UNMISSABLE.

@alluarjun

just nailed it. The real Rule of #Pushpa

Little bit #KGF2 style but beautiful screenplay," read a Twitter review.

“Once again, Pushpa Raj scores high in dubbing, particularly through his facial expressions. One hour in, the film is running on drama. Pushpa infusing his energy through his antics,” read a Twitter review of the movie.

Allu Arjun's entry scene has landed online. It shows the actor in a nonchalant mood even as he is hanging upside down in air.

HT's Neeshita Nyayapathi wrote in a tweet, “#Pushpa2ThaRule has an intriguing start for #AlluArjun . A massy fight, childhood trauma, ambitious growth, punchy dialogues - all packed in the first 30 minutes or so. And then there's #FahadhFaasil's Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.”

Actor Allu Arjun was greeted by a screaming, excited crowd as he arrived for the premiere at RTC Cross Road. A video showed a young fan losing consciousness and the police performing CPR on him. The police also tried to disperse the crowd with ‘mild’ lathicharge.

Ahead of the premiere, fans of Allu Arjun gathered outside the Sailaja Theatre in Vijayawada to celebrate the much-awaited release. They were seen bursting crackers in excitement, as they created a festive atmosphere outside the cinema hall.

Devi Sri Prasad, the film's composer, shared his review of Pushpa 2 and said, "After watching the first half of Pushpa 2, I was mindboggled. There were moments when we thought the interval was coming, but the suspense kept building. Sukumar’s direction is top-notch, and Allu Arjun's performance is phenomenal. The film is truly on another level."

Pushpa 2 has taken up all of India's IMAX theatres, thereby limiting the re-release of the acclaimed Christopher Nolan film starring Matthew McConaughey. Fans are furious. Read the full story here.
