Performance
Allu Arjun is the super hero of the masses; the actor displays pure excellence in his portrayal and perhaps gives his best till date. Allu Arjun is the top contender for National Award dobara with ‘Pushpa 2 : The Rule’ .
Fahadh Faasil is class apart as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, what acting what energy.
Rashmika Mandanna is outstanding as Srivalli, her chemistry with Allu Arjun is raw and filled with feelings.
And last but not the least, Shreyas Talpade gives his voice for the Hindi version of ‘Pushpa 2 : The Rule’ and the dialogues are already becoming popular day by day. Shreyas with that Marathi tang gives the character extra edge, more root and more identification. Superb job.
Technicalities
Amazing production values. Cinematography by Miroslaw Kuba Brozek is simply outstanding. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is peppy and romantic, ‘Angaroon’ is the pick of the lot for me.
Flaws
The proceedings take a slight dip and at times things happen to just maintain the flow. Yes, the movie is marred by predictability. Not for the haters of such mass entertainers and those who are looking for logic, sense in these sensibilities then stay away.
