23 Minutes of Extra Footage Added in Pushpa 2 Reloaded OTT Release

The new version, Pushpa 2 Reloaded, includes 23 minutes of additional scenes, making the total runtime 3 hours and 44 minutes. Many fans appreciated the extra content, with one user even calculating that they spent over 20 hours watching both parts of Pushpa. Some called the film “addictive,” while others praised the added scenes for making the story more complete.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

While some viewers loved the extended version, others were disappointed. A fan commented that Pushpa Raj retrieving his chain was a cinematic moment, while another praised the movie for explaining Pushpa’s escape sequence better. However, some critics felt that the extended runtime was unnecessary, with one user saying they watched the film in 2x speed to get through it faster.

A few fans also criticized Sukumar’s writing, saying that while he delivered as a director, the script could have been stronger. Some even felt that ending the movie with a sequel setup was overdone and unnecessary.

Kannada Viewers Upset with Netflix

Netflix initially announced that Pushpa 2 Reloaded would be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, with the Hindi version releasing later. However, they later surprised fans by releasing the Hindi version first while the Kannada version remained unavailable. This upset many Kannada-speaking viewers, who felt that the language was being neglected. Several users took to social media, urging Netflix to release the Kannada version soon.

What’s Next for Pushpa?

Pushpa 2: The Rule continues the journey of Pushpa Raj, a daily wage worker-turned-smuggler who now dominates the red sanders smuggling business. However, as he secures his position, new enemies emerge, threatening his rule. The film ends by setting up the next installment, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, keeping fans excited for what’s next.
