As the release date for Pushpa 2: The Rule approaches, fan anticipation has surged. The first review of the performances by Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil has emerged, suggesting that Allu Arjun might surpass Baahubali actor Prabhas to claim the title of ‘No.1 pan-India’ actor with this film. While both Allu Arjun and Rashmika received praise for their acting, Fahadh is noted to have ‘stolen the show.’
Umair Sandhu, who claims to be a member of the Overseas Censor Board, shared his thoughts on the film after watching it. He took to X to call it a ‘BLOCKBUSTER PAISA VASOOL entertainer,’ showcasing director Sukumar’s skill and Allu Arjun’s star power. According to Sandhu, the film is expected to be well-received by both casual viewers and movie enthusiasts, suggesting it will break box office records and become the year’s biggest hit.
He complimented Allu Arjun for being in exceptional form, praising his action sequences and comic timing, and noted that while Rashmika performed well, it was Fahadh who truly stood out. Sandhu described the climax as a highlight and the interval sequences as spectacular, calling it a unique type of masala film that Indian cinema has not seen before. Pushpa 2 is set to release in several languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.
The film has already made waves with its advance bookings, potentially earning over Rs 200 crore during its opening weekend. It has reportedly garnered about Rs 62.21 crore just from advance bookings for the first day. The theatrical release is scheduled for December 5, 2024.
