Pushpa 2 bags U/A certificate from censor board; Runtime confirmed

Reportedly, Pushpa 2: The Rule has bagged a U/A certificate from the censor board. The Allu Arjun starrer has a total runtime of three hours, 20 minutes, and 38 seconds. Thus, the Sukumar directorial has officially emerged as one of the longest films produced by the Indian film industry in recent times. If the reports are to be believed, the first half of Pushpa 2 has a runtime of one hour and 40 minutes, while the second half has a runtime of around one hour and 41 minutes.

Netizens react to Pushpa 2: The Rule’s runtime

The netizens, especially the cinephiles who are not so impressed with the excessive massy trailer and underwhelming ‘Kissik’ song from Pushpa 2, are quite sceptical about the film’s excessive runtime. Some of the internet users feel that director Sukumar and his team might be going overboard with the mass elements and action sequences of Allu Arjun’s film, owing to the massive pre-release hype. However, others are defending the same, suggesting many recent blockbusters including Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, had massive runtime and still made wonders at the box office.

Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to hit the big screens in six languages, including Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Bengali. Along with Allu Arjun and lead antagonist Fahadh Faasil, Pushpa 2 features a massive star cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Jagadeesh Prathap Bhandari, Jagapati Babu, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Rao Ramesh, Ajay Ghosh, and others in supporting roles.
