Pushpa 2 Review
With its captivating storyline, good music and witty dialogues, Pushpa 2: The Rule is an absolute must-watch. The film expertly builds upon the suspenseful cliffhanger of Part 1, keeping viewers engaged and invested. Great performances from the cast, particularly Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil, add to the film’s charm.
The duo of Sukumar and Srikanth Viswa returns for writing and dialogue in this film. The story is somewhat more detailed than the previous part, but it feels stretched in places. In this approximately 200-minute film, there are a few scenes that could have been trimmed by editor Naveen Nooli. The Hindi dialogues are well-crafted.
The fight sequences and action are outstanding, thanks to Peter Hein, Kecha Kamphakdee, Dragon Prakash and Nabakanta. The background score by Devi Sri Prasad is also impressive.
