‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ Review: An Ambitious and Extravagant Action Sequel Delivers Too Much of a Good Thing
The Hollywood ReporterStory by Angie Han
scrn logline
The larger-than-life Pushpa returns in an extravagant sequel that packs too much action, drama, and ambition into a bloated runtime.
beat sheet
- Lead actor Allu Arjun delivers an unforgettable performance, seamlessly transitioning from brutal violence to emotional vulnerability while sporting saris and jewelry.
- The cat-and-mouse game between Pushpa and the unhinged cop Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (played by Fahadh Faasil) is a highlight, but the repetitive nature of their encounters eventually becomes a weakness.
