Yes! It is not easy to make a sequel to a superhit film, this has been proved recently by the film ‘Bhool Bhulaya 3’. Now the sequel of another superhit film has been released. Now we tell you how many pan-India films are important examples of this. However, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has now become a classic example of what can go wrong with a sequel when a filmmaker and actor focus on their own hanging story instead of making an ego-driven film. Eager to concentrate.
Also, music composer Devi Sri Prasad, who scored superhit songs like ‘Teri Jhalak Ashrafi’ and ‘Oy Antwa’ in Pushpa: The Rise, has disappointed in the sequel, and that too in a big way! Pushpa 2 mainly falls between three narratives: Pushparaj vs. Chief Minister, Pushparaj vs. Shekhawat, and Pushpa’s childhood trauma. Yes! This time Srivalli’s character is as insignificant as the women speakers in Parliament. This time Sukumar gets Srileela on his way, but he has neither the saltiness of Samantha nor the smartness of the lead. In the Hindi version, once again Shreyas Talpade brings the character of Pushap Raj to life on screen.
the story
Just as director Sukumar brought out the story of the film through sketches in red sandalwood forests from abroad via sea, the same has been done this time. Pushpa 2 starts from a port in Japan and travels between South India and several international beaches. In this expansion Sukumar gets the help he expected from his characters. Jagdish Bhandari, Jagapathi Babu, Rao Ramesh and Brahmaji all look masterful in their roles.
Last time the story was about winning Srivalli’s heart and this time the story is about bringing respect to his mother in her home which Pushparaj longed for since his childhood. Pushparaj and Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat IPS. The tension between the two may not have been as visible as the audience expected, but the film seems to be getting back on track after revealing the confusion of the family, but in the last 30 minutes of the film, it is completely lost. is To lay the groundwork for the third installment, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, the makers have interrupted the climax of the film.

directing
The film’s biggest shortcoming lies in its writing. AR Prabhav, Sukumar and Srikanth visa neither capture nor do justice to the story. Neither could live up to expectations after the first half. However, amidst the criticism of the producers, cinematographer Kuba Brozek Miroslav should be congratulated for his excellent work. From the sandalwood forests to the fights between the actors, Miroslav has done everything with ease.
Pushpa 2 is awarded half a star for its Jatra scene and the two consecutive songs that follow, as well as Allu Arjun’s Tandav dance as Kali. But after energizing you with the film’s most successful scene, they disappoint with a drag climax. Also, music director Devi Sri Prasad seems a victim of overconfidence here; The reason for this could be his weak grip on Hindi. This is where MM Kirwani and AR Rahman performed brilliantly; They break through language barriers and win.
acting
This time the story moves forward with Pushpa Raj’s stubbornness and ‘anything’ decisions. Also, Fahadh Faasil, who has played better villain roles before, is treated badly in Pushpa 2. However, both of these actors do a great job playing the horns, especially in scenes where there is dialogue but only eye acting. But Fahadh Faasil’s character swinging between Thakur and Gabbar in Sholay did not give him much chance to shine this time.
Rashmika Mandana has done a better job of bringing out the threat of her sister-in-law in just one scene. However, it was strange to see her hyper-active sexual urges on screen. The audience expected a Samantha-like performance from Srileela in the song ‘Kisik’ but it was not very impressive. However, if this film is getting praise, it is because of Allu Arjun and his swag. This time the actors seem more relaxed and grounded, and why not? He has been playing the role of Pushparaj for the past 5 years.
What movie should I watch?
Pushpa 2: The Rule lacks depth and a solid story. Tangled between multiple storylines, the film struggles in the pre-interval and climax segments. Despite this, this action-packed film has some great stuff, with the Jatra scene topping the list. Allu Arjun’s Pushparaaj may have changed course in many ways, but the actor’s swag, charm and on-point dialogue delivery have remained constant. Fahadh Faasil as Shekhawat is frustrated, and Rashmika as Srivalli is irritable. The film is slated for its third installment, and it’s safe to say that this might be the last chance for the makers to undo the mistakes made in the sequel. This movie is worth watching once, quite long and deserves only 2.5 stars. Pushpa 2: Niyam has released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali and Malayalam languages in theaters near you.
