Pushpa 2 has been one of the iconic movies that created and broke several box office records, thus becoming one of the biggest Indian films. The Allu Arjun-Rashmika Mandanna starrer went on to collect over 1500 crore worldwide. Now, the film's extended version has been released on Netflix.

Fans were eagerly waiting for that extra drama in an already 3-hour-long movie. Pushpa 2: Reloaded has dropped on Netflix, and fans are going gaga over the same. However, a category of moviegoers criticised the Telugu action drama after its digital release.

For the uninitiated, Pushpa 2 had a theatrical release on December 5. It went on to collect over 1831 crore across the globe. Many controversies around the film became a point of trend during its release.

Fan reactions to Pushpa 2: Reloaded OTT release

The digital version of the Telugu movie has an extra 23 minutes of footage added to Pushpa 2: The Rule, which makes its total runtime 3 hours 44 minutes.

One Allu Arjun fan calculated that including the film's first part, Pushpa: The Rise, they have watched the film for over 20 hours, calling it 'addictive.'

The tweet read, 'Time I spent watching Pushpa in Dec 2024 - Jan 2025. 2 times #PushpaTheRise (3 hours). 2 times #Pushpa2TheRule(3 hour 20 mins). 2 times #Pushpa2Reloaded (3 hours 45 mins). 20 hours 10 mins + travel ~ 1 day. Why is it so addictive?

Another fan criticised Sukumar as a writer even after admitting the extra scenes added a well-rounded story.

The tweet read, 'Rewatched #Pushpa2TheRule. #Pushpa2Reloaded has very important scenes, which makes #Pushpa2 even better. Music ruled. Jathara amp Climax scenes will remain iconic. Sukumar The Director amp Everyone else delivered except Sukumar the Writer.'


Another user took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote that Pushpa escaping the opening scene is explained better in Pushpa 2 Reloaded. 'How he survived and how he escaped in the sea! It's mind-blowingly watchful who all missed the reloaded version in theatres,' they tweeted.

However, not everyone was impressed by the extra footage in the reloaded version of the Telugu drama. One user criticised the pattern of filmmakers making sequels and wrote, 'Pushpa 2 is such a letdown. Telugu directors should stop making multiple parts unless it's necessary. #Pushpa2Reloaded.'


Makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule have announced the third part of the film, which will be titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage.
