Pushpa: The Rule - Part 2

Tone, Script & Story: The story continues from part one and this time Pushpa has a chance to earn in thousands of crores of rupees. This time if he wins he even has a chance to even buy the government.

I found the second part more comforting than the maiden one. The reason is getting use to the name. It may be normal in south but for me it changed the whole concept of movie for something else. I did not expect an action thriller from a macho as portrayed. This was different in part two for I had accepted what it is.

The makeup as shown in posters is the best eye candy movie has for it along with song bring best scene in movie. It along with instances involving his wife bring ones emotions when they are projected.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The containers, the trucks, the jungle, the police station, the celebration, the action scenes, the river, etc all have been captured well. Justified efforts in direction to make it an entertainer. Music: Below average. Acting: Justified.

Final Verdict: If you are a fan of action thriller under the image of a heroic personality you will love it. For me it's just a onetime encounter.

While costume & hair style looks over gaudy for Allu Arjun come places dialogues are voice irritating.

First scene failed to understand what's it, A Arjun dance no impact compared to P 1 , Time pass movie at average level simply dragging Action fight scene ok but little overdone

Acting outstanding by Allu & the villain Fasil.

On the contrary the film doesn't make justice to part 1.

Its mass entertainer one time watch , Sukumar could have Done little research on story telling though the direction & screenplay it keeps you engaged till the end But not as usual sequels are to be worked throughly.

The storyline is not good. There are many scenes that are included with no specific reason like the starting when Pushpa is in Japan and fights people there and the scene goes on for like 10 minutes, only for him to wake up (it was just a dream...). It also shows Pushpa is scared of water there because of a past experience. But that scene too has no relevance to any other part of the story whatsoever.

The only thing good about this movie was the action scenes which has impressive camera angles and dramatic effects although the fights were overexaggerated (gets a pass 'cause South Indian film)

Now straight out the theater this movie is no doubt a massy movies and it does all those things a typical south Indian movie does but, the plot of part one is something that made me excited for this movie in the first place. Now as the movie is massy so when I decided to watch it I already decided not to use my brain a lot and yup it actually worked this is a movie that is meant to watch in a theater with huge music system busting your ears with background music as the protagonist makes an entry and everyone in the theater are shouting and cheering ngl this does works I actually enjoyed that thing.

Action was obviously physics defying, hero being able to do literally anything but those were actually unique the action sequences in this movie and really fun to watch if you just ignore every type of logic which you actually have to specially when you are watching a massy movie. Acting done by Allu Arjun is just phenomenal he really put everything he had and properly became the character.

The plot while it was fine, but it does shifts the focus totally from the Pushpa vs Shekhawat and just introduce a totally new villian and the movie end before you even realise it because the just finish the movie and you feel that its just not complete yet which it isn't it they could have made it better.

Overall it worth watching in the theaters.

Positives:

1. Acting:

• A masterclass performance by Allu Arjun.

• Rashmika does a decent job, managing to hold her own.

• Fahadh Faasil plays his role aptly and seems to enjoy it, but his character design is somewhat concerning and lacks the depth it had in the first part.

2. Cinematography:

• The movie features clean cinematic visuals, with excellent drone captures of stunning aerial shots.

• The overall quality is top-notch, with a well-maintained tone throughout.

3. Jathara Sequence:

• A standout sequence where all departments excelled, creating a memorable artistic moment.

• Allu Arjun shines in this sequence, delivering an emotionally charged performance. His dance conveys raw emotions, and his eyes reflect his character's deep longing.

Negatives: 1. Lack of a Strong Story:

• The biggest issue is the absence of a meaningful storyline.

• The movie heavily relies on ego clashes rather than building a compelling narrative.

• The screenplay is a significant blunder, with scenes that seem random and disconnected, leading to abrupt transitions without proper justification.

2. Direction and Screenwriting:

• Sukumar appears to have lost clarity, as the film prioritizes everything but progression.

• The lack of focus results in a series of events that feel aimless and repetitive.

3. Music:

• Sam CS's background score adds no value to the movie.

• The music is underwhelming, failing to elevate the scenes and often making even good moments feel dull.

• The absence of DSP's exceptional work from the first part is deeply felt.

4. Unrealistic Action:

• Pushpa defies Earth's gravity, leaping with a smooth, space-like motion that feels overly exaggerated and disconnected from reality.

5. Excessive Time Taken:

• It's baffling that a movie of this quality took three years to make. With genuine effort and dedication, it could have been completed in six months.
