Pushpa is back—and this time, he’s ruling! Pushpa 2: The Rule takes off from where Pushpa: The Rise left us, with Allu Arjun’s swag-drenched smuggler expanding his empire and battling new threats. From whistle-worthy dialogues to gravity-defying action, Sukumar delivers a full-blown mass entertainer.
Let’s talk highs—action scenes are insane! The Jathara sequence post-interval and the climax fight? Pure fire. Pushpa’s signature style, attitude, and humor remain intact, ensuring that fans get exactly what they came for—more Pushparaj. Rashmika Mandanna shines as Srivalli, while Fahadh Faasil’s Inspector Shekhawat could have been more menacing.
Now for the lows—the film drags at 200 minutes, making the second half feel stretched. Also, while Pushpa’s invincibility is cool, it kills suspense. The music? Not as catchy as Oo Antava or Srivalli.
Despite its flaws, Pushpa 2 is a paisa vasool mass masala ride. It may not reinvent the wheel, but Arjun’s swag alone makes it worth the ticket. Watch it in theaters for the full-blown experience—because Pushpa? Pushpa jhukega nahi!
