Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the movie 4 stars and wrote, “Director B.Sukumar once again delivers a massy entertainer, which has every element comprised of action-packed sequences, peppy songs, amazing choreography, emotional moments and whistle-worthy dialogues. Special credit goes to editor Naveen Nooli for cutting the movie in such an intriguing way that despite having a runtime of 3 hours 21 minutes, there is not a single dull moment.

Talking about the performances, Allu Arjun once again hits the bullseye with his swagger king and makes you cheer and fall in love with Pushpa all over again. Right from his intense and powerful expressions to his charismatic swag, it’s Allu Arjun’s show all the way. Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli is cute and charming. Fahadh Faasil is simply superb but I still feel that his character was not written properly. Jagapathi Babu’s character is there for a brief time but we will get to see more of him in the next part. Yes, you read it right. Pushpa 3 is in the making.”
