What’s New in Pushpa-2 Reloaded?

Pushpa 2: The Rule has broken the norm about durations in Telugu cinema. Already, the makers arrived with a duration of over 3 hours, and later, they decided to add 20 more minutes with the promotional campaign, Pushpa 2 Reloaded. The film is now in theatres with additional content.

The reloaded version addresses key plot points that puzzled viewers in the original cut.

1. The original film left many wondering about the events before and after the opening fight. The new scenes provide clarity, showing Pushpa recalling his childhood after falling into the sea. A flashback reveals a young Pushpa, unable to swim, jumping into a pond as part of a challenge to prove himself to his friends and earn his family’s recognition.
2. The reloaded version reveals that Pushpa’s money gets stuck in Japan. While transporting red sandalwood cargo from Sri Lanka to Japan, Shekhawat eliminates Hamid and Jali Reddy, severing the link. Pushpa, determined to recover his money, lands in Japan in a container.
3. New scenes showcase Mangalam Srinu and Shekhawat’s plans to outwit Pushpa, but Pushpa’s clever counter-strategy keeps the syndicate united and ensures his dominance.
4. Fans of the first film who felt the locket scene lacked resolution finally get their answer. In a poignant moment near the rolling credits, Ajay places the locket around Pushpa’s neck, adding emotional depth to the storyline.
