#Pushpa2 is not actually a movie. A movie is supposed to have a story, screenplay, a plot, an arc and in most cases, a closure.
Pushpa 2 has none of that.
It is a patchwork of incoherent and illogical videos, written by a group of people who have #AlluArjun tattoos on their chests and worship and pour milk over his photo every day.
Which means the entire movie is basically Allu Arjun roaming about doing Hero Stuff, speaking hero dialogues, to people whose only job is to line up in a single file and have the privilege to get hit, bit, stabbed and killed by him. Yes, he does all of that.
The movie starts off pretty badly, with our hero going to Japan for no reason, beats the shit of some 300 Japanese gangsters while speaking Punch dialogues in Japanese, leaving you completely dazed as to what the hell is happening.
And then it goes downhill faster than a fully loaded freight train with failed brakes
Because what follows is a 3 hour and 20-minute barrage of garish, mind-numbing scenes, which have zero connection between each other.
All you get is a series mindless fight sequences interspersed with random dream sequences, pointless songs and a raunchy item number which serves no purpose other than titillation.
There is no edge of the seat action. There is no thrill. There is no adventure. There is absolutely nothing.
In fact, midway thru the movie, even the director realizes this.
So, in a brave attempt to save the movie, he conjures a random sentimental story arc out of absolutely nowhere, completely dissociated with the main story arc, all for the express purpose of giving Allu Arjun the chance to kill more people on screen in very badly choreographed ways.
However, by the time this scene comes on screen, you are already looking at your watch or phone and are trying to determine how much longer this torture is going to last. And somewhere deep in your heart, you are also wondering what sins you committed in your past life that you are stuck in this movie hall, watching this movie.
As for the actors, #FahadhFasil overacts and overhams, Rashmika does the bare minimum that is needed for her paycheck, the minister guy is ok and it looks like Jagapathi Babu accidentally walked into the set of the movie and got a role.
As for Allu Arjun, well, what he does is irrelevant, because he has stopped acting a long time ago.
As I said before, Pushpa 2 cannot be called a movie. At best it can be called a shoddily assembled collection of moving images consisting mostly of badly made reels and shorts with no common thread.
Pushpa 2 is just 3 hours & 20 mins of Allu Arjun killing people and mouthing badly written punch lines.
I don't know at the end of the movie you will get happiness or satisfaction, but you surely will get a headache or migraine.
But then this movie will also mint 1000 crores and join the list of #Jawaan, Pathaan, Kalki and other such masterpieces, which reinforces the belief that you no longer need story or quality, to make huge money at the box office.
Any nonsense will do.
A very sad side effect of this, is that our future generations, will never ever, get to watch a good movie.
