Absolutely loved Pushpa 2! The mass masala moments had me grinning from ear to ear, but the film also carries a lot of heart.

*Minor spoilers

The way Pushpa’s character evolves—from a demi-god figure to a full-fledged avatar of Shiva in the climax – requires the kind of insane all-in conviction that can be only found among filmmakers in the south. The film takes on a truly otherworldly dimension during the climax and the electrifying Jathara scene.

I know many people find these South masala films crass (I’m no fan of KGF, for instance), but Pushpa stands out as something special. Not once did I feel bored, kept me hooked from start to finish.

Those who dismiss Indian audience for enjoying such film should ask why even Americans fell for a film like RRR. These directors are doing something right or the whole world is getting terrible taste.
