After making a dent at the box office, the film continues to draw praise from the who’s who of Indian cinema. Days after its release on Amazon Prime Video, the film is being praised by many big names in Bollywood and south cinema.
“ALLU ARJUN @alluarjun in #pushpa !!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!! What stardom! What a performance!!!!!! (sic),” tweeted Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who has made no secret about his admiration for movies made by the south filmmakers.
“Pushpa is not a film. It’s an experience, a juggernaut of attitude intensity & coolness put together in one smooth poetic motion picture…@alluarjunonline for me was always Arya all these years and as a fan to see him go from Arya to Pushp was just amazing. (sic),” actor Arjun Kapoor wrote on his Instagram story.
His step-sister Janhvi Kapoor has also become a fan of Allu Arjun after watching Pushpa. “The coolest man in the world,” she posted on her Instagram story.
Filmmaker Kunal Kohli was also very generous in his praise for Pushpa. “@alluarjun A One man show, like the solo films of @SrBachchan as the angry young man. Mard. Son. Friend. Lover. Tactician. Hero. All rolled into one character, in an award winning performance. Beyond cool. Restrained action & dance making it, new & brilliant,” he tweeted.

@alluarjun just saw #PushpaTheRise on @PrimeVideoIN if it wasn’t for covid you’d probably do 200+ in Hindi alone. This is without increased ticket prices. What a film. What a hero/star/actor you are. Mard of a performance. The Fight with the hood on was beyond spectacular 👏🏻 👏🏻

What a fantastic riot #Pushpa was! @alluarjun hats off for picking a role so outside the box, I know how difficult it is for a hero of your image to bring in the characterisation for a movie like Pushpa. But this only shows your dedication and love for this art.
