Pushpa The Rise Review

Director Sukumar who scored a hit with Rangasthalam tried to show Allu Arjun in a completely different manner in Pushpa. Already the film's poster generated interest and he started off in an interesting manner. Pushpa also has Rangasthalam similarities in the sense it has the same village atmosphere and rustic flavor. But there end the similarities. The narration after the interesting introduction to the red sandalwood smuggling dips pace and sails at a snail's pace. The romantic track and the smuggling is shown simultaneously and only during the pre-interval, interest increases with powerful interval bang. The second half picks up the pace and intense action elements take place and at the same time, a few interesting twists and turns happen. The entry of Fahad Faasil increases the intensity. Many scenes are dragged and many are forced and rushed and this unevenness affected the film in a big manner. Though most of the scenes are routine, the developments and the climax set the tone for the film's second part.
