Pushpa 2 final runtime: Sukumar takes another bold risk
Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s highly anticipated movie, Pushpa 2, is all set to release in theaters on December 5th. The movie is generating significant buzz across the country, and a recent update about the film’s runtime is now going viral.
According to a ticketing platform abroad, Pushpa 2 may have a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes (190 minutes). While this might not be the final confirmed runtime, it suggests that Sukumar, the director, is once again opting for a longer film. This decision follows the first part of Pushpa, which had a runtime of 179 minutes.

Despite some criticisms of the first film, especially concerning the drawn-out ending, Sukumar appears unphased. He is confident that audiences will remain engaged with the film’s characters and story, even with a longer duration. This trend of extended runtimes is becoming common in large-scale Indian films.
Sukumar likely believes that the rich world of Pushpa has already been well-established in the first movie. Thus, audiences will be more invested in the characters and narrative, making them more forgiving of the long runtime, as long as the presentation is solid.
