Pushpa 2: Social media user’s ‘brutal review’ of Allu Arjun’s movie goes viral; says, ‘only uneducated people will...’

Allu Arjun's latest record-breaking movie, Pushpa 2, has received a ‘brutal’ review from a social media user. The user said that the movie lacks ‘logic’ and that educated people will not appreciate it.

He specifically pointed out a scene in which the film's lead actor, Allu Arjun, uses his teeth to fight the goons and said that only uneducated people would appreciate this movie. “Our fault is, despite being educated, we went to watch the film,” he said.

However, several social media users disagreed with his review. Few users criticised the reviewer for questioning the audience's educational qualifications.

One of the users commented, “I always say that if you want to watch a South Indian Masala film, leave your brain at home and just watch the movie for entertainment. It’s not an intellectual activity.”

“I am a Chartered Accountant, so am I qualified to review or not? I loved the movie, especially the action sequences. The main aim of the picture is entertaining the audience, and it does. Otherwise, if we judge by logical sense of action scenes, then most films would be rated 0 (SIC),” another user added.

Another user added, “Movie is for entertainment if you didn’t like the film then criticise it but why are dragging people’s literacy here? Why their education matters when it’s about entertainment? Even if you defend these then what would you expect from a film which is set around a backward region. (SIC)"

The Allu Arjun-Rashmika Mandanna starter “Pushpa 2: The Rule” hit the theatres on December 5, and its collections are breaking many records. The action thriller is the sequel to Pushpa: The Rise, the 2021 blockbuster film. 

Apart from Allu Arjun, the film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Fahad Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, and Anasuya Bharadwaj in prominent roles. The film has been directed by Sukumar with Pushpa (Allu Arjun) facing off against Shekhawat (Faasil).
