Pushpa 2 Twitter Review: The much-anticipated sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar, hit theatres today, December 5, 2024 and the Twitter reactions have already ignited a wildfire of excitement. Fans and critics are praising Allu Arjun's return as Pushpa Raj, with many calling his performance even more powerful than the first instalment.

The film opened with packed houses, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with fans eager to experience the sequel's larger-than-life narrative. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#OneWordReview… #Pushpa2: MEGA-BLOCKBUSTER. Rating: 4½ Wildfire entertainer... Solid film in all respects... Reserve all the awards for #AlluArjun, he is beyond fantastic... #Sukumar is a magician... The #Boxoffice Typhoon has arrived.” He further highlighted the film’s strong narrative, impactful dialogues, and high-octane action sequences.

Another X user noted, “The intro scene of Pushpa in a Japanese port sets the tone for the film and the interval face-off with Shekawat is phenomenal. The songs are sensational on the big screen.”
Praise also poured in for the technical aspects of the film. “#Pushpa2 runs purely on drama but is well-packaged in a commercial way,” wrote one viewer. Others lauded Devi Sri Prasad’s background score, describing it as an essential component that elevates key moments in the narrative.

Didn't imagine the beast in Pushparaj during jathara scene can be complimented by a powerful performance from his beautiful wife ❤️

I applaud the efforts of Arjun and Sukumar.
The first half had some substance and 101 minutes was pretty decent.
However, the second half was all over the place, it had no substance and the screenplay was its shoddy best.
The emotional engagement in the second…
Excellent first half.....jathara sequence. Aaaat 🔥💥iconic scene in indian cinema....National Award winner @alluarjun sir💥🔥🔥💥💥💥.....last 20min of movie...

Allu Arjun’s performance as Pushpa Raj remains the centrepiece of the film. His commanding screen presence, impeccable dialogue delivery, and intense character portrayal were widely celebrated. Fans described his character's transformation and entry scenes as "electrifying" and "a seeti-maar moment." Fahadh Faasil’s role as a ruthless police officer also garnered special praise, with many calling his performance a show-stealer.

A commercial action drama with Strong start and climax, solid performances by @alluarjun & #FahadhFaasil ! 💥👍
Jathra sequence & interval sequence, never seen in Indian cinema#SamCS Mass BGM & elevations 🥵💯
Overall - 4.75/ 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏆🏆🏆🏆 pic.twitter.com/xJeWBIEu38
#Pushpa2 has great first half with right mix of entertainment and elevations. But the 2nd half is not as great with b2b action blocks and songs dominating the writing. AA’s another sensational performance, the movie is worth watch for him. Sure shit ATBB in North. pic.twitter.com/Rleb3v2vmK

Rashmika Mandanna, while featured less prominently compared to the male leads, made a strong impression in critical scenes. While the majority of reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, some viewers found the runtime of 3 hours and 20 minutes a bit excessive. A few noted that the dialogues were occasionally hard to follow, and the pacing felt uneven at times. “Could certain scenes have been trimmed for a tighter narrative? Absolutely not,” argued Taran Adarsh, defending the film’s length as essential to its storytelling.

A decent one time watch film with good first half and good 1hr into 2nd half but goes flat in last 30 mins and ends with a unnecessary cliffhanger.
Pros-
AA Acting
Jathara Sequence
Action Scenes
Cons-
Predictable story
Weak conflict
No emotional connect. pic.twitter.com/YzwLXjNjun
However, not all feedback was glowing. A few early viewers expressed disappointment, citing high expectations as a factor. "The first 20 minutes felt underwhelming," remarked an X user, though such comments were in the minority.
Pushpa2 is cringe fest made for chapris. No story. In the name of mass, film has become 3 hours of nonsense. Don't waste your money on this #Pushpa2

Definition of a downgrade. Disappointing. Especially the second half and the album. #Pushpa2 was still ok with some massy fight scenes interval fight is good
Coming to a few strong characters from Pushpa, Sukumar destroyed the characterization of Shekhawat, pic.twitter.com/1ROzqnqe5P
With ticket prices in some regions reaching as high as Rs 944, Pushpa 2: The Rule is expected to set new benchmarks for box office collections. Early screenings were sold out and industry analysts predict a record-breaking opening weekend, potentially surpassing other Telugu blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR.
