Not only does his get up, but his acting is also a surprise. She is present only for entertainment and lacks any importance in the story, otherwise.Īmong the many names, Sunil easily is the better one. Rashmika Mandanna’s character is a poor excuse for commercial trapping. It is one of the primary aspects where Pushpa differs big time from Sukumar’s last attempt Rangasthalam. We have many characters in Pushpa, however, none manage to impress. If you like the backdrop and don’t mind the routineness give Pushpa a try only for Allu Arjun. Allu Arjun in the lead trumps, but everything else is predictable. Overall, Pushpa is a template gangster drama involving the rise of the protagonist. It makes one wonder about the sequel plans. The entire stretch towards the end feels dragged and lacks impact. It is a prime case of rushing through the proceedings having only an overview of the plot (but not an actual one). They are terribly dull but have a high moment in between. The best example is seen in two face off sequences between Pushpa and Bhanwar Singh. The scenes are needlessly stretched and poorly edited. The idea of ‘brand’ (Inti Peru) via the mother angle is fine, but it feels rushed. The struggle to keep the original flow going and also to set up a fresh conflict and a villain is clear. The narrative feels like is in restart mode again with the introduction of a new character at this point. However, things take an unexpected turn with the departure of Mangalam Suri. The opening action episode in the second half sets the tone and momentum perfectly for the rest of the movie. It is somewhere in the middle which keeps the curiosity alive for the second half. They lack the mighty elevation, but at the same time, they are not flat. The track involving his rise and new challenges are decently done. The world of Pushpa and its characters (even though half baked) keep things flowing in the first half. Allu Arjun completely disappears in the world. The dialogues play a key role apart from body language and setting. The effort on Pushpa (the character) is visible from the start. It is mainly because of the character of Pushpa essayed by Allu Arjun. And yet, one is engaged in the narrative. So, there is nothing new in Pushpa from the start. The various ways in which the hero smuggles is also a standard trope. In this case, there is an additional smuggling background. Pushpa is a template gangster drama that tracks the journey of the rise of the central protagonist. For the first time, in Pushpa The Rise, he appears weak in the story front.

When it comes to Sukumar, the director has always managed to bring a proper mix of fresh backdrop, story and entertaining screenplay. It is a straightforward story and as the title suggests focuses on the rise of the titular character. Pushpa The Rise is the new film of ace director Sukumar.

Pushpa will be a memorable film for Allu Arjun, all things considered. There is not much on the dance side barring small glimpses here and there, but when you have such an act, nothing else matters. The way he utters Sukumar’s words makes them unique and helps his character stand out.

A lot of effort has been put into the body language and dialogue delivery (Chittoor dialect). When we watch the movie, we realise that it is not just a typical makeover. The get-up has attracted our attention since the day the first look came out. The love track with Sri Valli (Rashmika) and the emergence of the new threat Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil) form the overall story.Īllu Arjun lives in the role of Pushpa Raj and we only see the character instead of the star. How Pushpa surpasses the various hurdles and emerges the kingpin smuggler don of red sandals is the basic storyline of Pushpa’s first part. He then faces a bigger threat in Mangalam Srinu (Sunil). Pushpa grows in the ranks from a normal coolie to co-owner alongside Reddy bros. They do illegal smuggling of red sandals. Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) is a daily labourer working for a group headed by Konda Reddy, Jali Reddy and Jakka Reddy.
