Audience Reactions
“The storyline is not good. There are many scenes that are included with no specific reason like the starting when Pushpa is in Japan and fights people there and the scene goes on for like 10 minutes, only for him to wake up (it was just a dream…). It also shows Pushpa is scared of water there because of a past experience. But that scene too has no relevance to any other part of the story whatsoever.
The only thing good about this movie was the action scenes which has impressive camera angles and dramatic effects although the fights were overexaggerated (gets a pass ’cause South Indian film)” – neerajprd
“This film could have been finished in two and a half hours. But the script of the film has been wasted by adding more spices. Taking advantage of the popularity of the first part, a simple script has been forced on the audience.
In this episode, Allu Arjun is shown ruling the syndicate. But the fact that the hero changes the government of the state is not digestible. Some questions are unanswered. Rashmika Mandhana is only seen shaking her head. It is not clear until the end what dialogue she is mumbling.
Now it is certain that the third part will come. I hope the directors will correct their mistake by giving a good script and dialogues.” – maheshchoure
