Pushpa might have made foes of numerous people, but none of them seem to even remotely be a match to his unbending nature, that is, till Shekawat comes into town. And this move really might not sit well with everyone because despite all the hoopla, that is essentially what this film is. What’s new is the way he chooses to expand the story and spend time on setting up Pushpa’s character for a whole film, spanning three hours, before getting into the thick of things. So Sukumar really has nothing new to explore here. Pushpa: The Rise is backed by a story that’s often explored in cinema – the rise of the underdog. And right as he gets where he wants to be in life, in comes IPS Bhanwar Singh Shekawat (Fahadh Faasil) threatening to upend the carefully constructed order that Pushpa has put in place. It is the fact that his brother (Ajay) won’t let him claim his lineage, something that takes Pushpa from zero to hundred in no time and often becomes the reason for this laid-back, sarcastic, arrogant, even funny man to lose his cool. However, his Achilles heel is not his lady love Srivalli (Rashmika Mandanna), or the big-wigs Konda Reddy (Ajay Ghosh), Jolly Reddy (Dhananjay), Mangalam Srinu (Sunil) and his wife Dakshayani (Anasuya Baradwaj). In a syndicate that consists of numerous players, Pushpa slowly learns to find his footing and rise in ranks till the man who would once chop down these trees becomes the one giving the orders. Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) is one of the many coolies in Seshachalam who chop down red sandalwood illegally and sell it by the kilo to powers-that-be. And seeing as how expectations were sky-high after Rangasthalam, what he delivers turns out to be a mixed bag that's over-long, falters at times and delivers what it promises at others. Review: With Pushpa: The Rise, Sukumar ventures into unchartered territory by making a rustic masala film filled with punch dialogues, characters that speak in a Chittoor dialect and a story that’s rooted deep in the region it’s set in. Along the way, he doesn’t shy from making an enemy or two.
The freshly-baked bread filled with cheesy delights and paired with some striking chutneys, was heavenly.Story: Pushpa Raj is a coolie who rises in the world of red sandalwood smuggling. Coming to food, first I had Poder Poder Ponk Ponk, which is a Portuguese-style bread, now a staple of Goan cuisine. I started off with heady cocktails fueled with 'jungle juice' - a feni-based concoction and they gave the perfect 'kick' to my gastronomic journey. The 7-course meal encapsulating a variety of communities and food cultures of Goa was truly enchanting. I was invited for a tasting of the special Goan feast and I couldn't be any more excited. An avant-garde spread of the same Goan feast awaits you at Elan in The Lodhi hotel and this is something not to be missed.
