Pushpa 2 Movie Review:

Before I get to the review of Pushpa 2: The Rule is to state that, although I personally have a number of issues with some elements in Pushpa: The Rise, I actually quite liked it. In fact, the time when Allu Arjun bagged the Best Actor National award for his movie—a victory which created a lot of controversy among cinephiles—i was one of the green lights, given how the actor utilised his body very well to do something which isn’t all that easy, when you actually think about it. However, on the aspect of whether or not the performances in masala movies should be given awards, I have the following answer; why not?

Pushpa 2 Movie Plot

Now, with this knowledge and the appearance of Fahadh Faasil in mind, it goes without saying that I went into Pushpa 2: The Rule, that is, with expectations significantly up from last time. But for a while there—and this would comprise the first two hours of its runtime— the film was doing quite a decent job. I would even go so far as to say that I felt there was a quite marked advancement in the area of storytelling for the first few hours as compared to the previous game.

What we get to see here is Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil at their silliest best, employing every limb in their body to extract seriousness and comedy from a situation.

I even found pleasure in how Sukumar, in these initial parts, provided ample time for the sombre sequences not to turn comical, while adding the humour only where required. I also laughed at how a certain character and his body language in this movie reminded me of Allu Arjun in some ways a certain Mohanlal of the 80s and early 90s Malayalam movies in most of his gangster roles .
