Movie Review
In her review, India TV’s Sakshi Verma awarded Pushpa 2: The Rule 2.5 stars out of five. She noted, “Pushpa 2: The Rule lacks depth and a concrete storyline. The film struggles in the pre-interval and climax portions due to too many narratives. Despite this, the action sequences are impressive, particularly the jatra sequence. Allu Arjun’s portrayal of Pushparaj shines with his swag, charm, and on-point dialogue delivery. However, Fahadh Faasil as Shekhawat disappoints, and Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli is on the verge of becoming irritating. The film has set the stage for its third part, and it’s the makers’ last chance to correct the mistakes made in the sequel.”
Conclusion: A New Box Office Champion
Pushpa 2’s record-breaking opening marks a significant achievement in Indian cinema, dethroning RRR as the biggest opener. As the film continues its box office run, expectations are high for further records to be broken.
