Positives:
1. Acting:
- A masterclass performance by Allu Arjun.
- Rashmika does a decent job, managing to hold her own.
- Fahadh Faasil plays his role aptly and seems to enjoy it, but his character design is somewhat concerning and lacks the depth it had in the first part.
2. Cinematography:
- The movie features clean cinematic visuals, with excellent drone captures of stunning aerial shots.
- The overall quality is top-notch, with a well-maintained tone throughout.
3. Jathara Sequence:
- A standout sequence where all departments excelled, creating a memorable artistic moment.
- Allu Arjun shines in this sequence, delivering an emotionally charged performance. His dance conveys raw emotions, and his eyes reflect his character's deep longing.
Negatives:
1. Lack of a Strong Story:
- The biggest issue is the absence of a meaningful storyline.
- The movie heavily relies on ego clashes rather than building a compelling narrative.
- The screenplay is a significant blunder, with scenes that seem random and disconnected, leading to abrupt transitions without proper justification.
2. Direction and Screenwriting:
- Sukumar appears to have lost clarity, as the film prioritizes everything but progression.
- The lack of focus results in a series of events that feel aimless and repetitive.
3. Music:
- Sam CS's background score adds no value to the movie.
- The music is underwhelming, failing to elevate the scenes and often making even good moments feel dull.
- The absence of DSP's exceptional work from the first part is deeply felt.
4. Unrealistic Action:
- Pushpa defies Earth's gravity, leaping with a smooth, space-like motion that feels overly exaggerated and disconnected from reality.
5. Excessive Time Taken:
- It's baffling that a movie of this quality took three years to make. With genuine effort and dedication, it could have been completed in six months.
