Director Sukumar wanted to make a movie better than Rangasthalam. But he failed. He could not execute the first part of Pushpa properly. It is better if they forget about the second part of Pushpa.
The film revolves around Pushpa Raj who wishes to rule the smuggling world and goes to any extent for the same. As Sukumar had decided to present the film in two parts, he had to stretch out the story for the first part, and consequently, there is nothing much happening in the opening half of Pushpa: The Rise.
The story progresses at a rather subdued pace. Except for the interval block, there aren’t too many high moments in the opening half. The slow narration doesn’t help the cause either. The VFX works are patchy as well.
Samantha has done well in the item song. Except for that, there is nothing worthy to talk about. Arjun has done well in his character.
After Ala Vaikuntapuramulo success, Pushpa is going to be an average movie for Arjun Allu. Devi Sri Prasad could not give good music. You will not miss anything if you dont see this movie.
