What is Film Review?     

Film reviews are written for the general public by usually journalists or other non-academics and appear in newspapers, magazines, or online around the time the film is released in theatres. Their purpose is to describe the plot, characters, director, etc to help determine whether or not a film should be seen.

The film review is a popular way for critics to assess a film’s overall quality and determine whether or not they think the film is worth recommending. Film reviews differ from scholarly film articles in that they encompass personal and idiosyncratic reactions to and evaluations of a film, as well as objective analyses of the film’s formal techniques and thematic content.

Write a review of the film that you remember you've watched and can't forget easily. Give details about the movie using the following supporting points.
• Title of the film.
• The star cast and production house (if you remember).
• The gist of the plot.
• The reason you like the film.
• Your favorite scene from the movie.

The movie "Pushpa" is an action drama, the title movie 'Pushpa' is based on the name of the protagonist Pushparaj.  It seems an inappropriate title but it's suitable as the meaning Pushpa means one who has an abundance of confidence. They do everything with growing confidence. The protagonist Allu Arjun (Pushparaj) is apt for the title. 
The Starcast of the movie is protagonist Allu Arjun, with Rashmika Mandana. Fahadh Faasil. 

• The gist/Central idea of the movie Pushpa labor works for a small sum but dreams of living the life of a king. But he is always let down by his step-brothers for being an illegitimate child of their father. He gets a chance to work in the dense forest of red sandal where red sandal are smuggled to other countries. The laborers are always under the scanner of DSP Govindappa but Pushpa dares to go against everyone creating hurdles for DSP. Pushpa manages to save a smuggling consignment worth crores under the eye of DSP and becomes known to Reddy Brothers. (Konda Reddy, Jakka Reddy, and Jolly Reddy) known to smuggling red sanders. Pushpa manages to smuggle red sandal often with his tricks by bluffing DSP and his team and becomes a close side of Konda Reddy. Pushpa changes his lifestyle and decides to marry Crivelli but his step-brothers disclose his mother's relationship with their father thus calling off the marriage. Pushpa now decides not to stop reaching heights and finds that Mangalam Sinu, a syndicate member is giving Reddy's gang a much lesser share than they deserve and asks Konda Reddy to hike profit. Konda Reddy asks Pushpa to take things into his hands as his involvement will lead to war between the two gangs. A fearless Pushpa decides to take control of things leading to disagreements between the two gangs. 

• I like this movie as it's based on an ambitious person who creates a world out of nothing.

• The scene I like most is when the protagonist Pushpa said "Zukega Nahi sala".

• The message of the movie one should not be over-ambitious, because it leads the person to adopt the wrong way to fulfill the ambition. 

My opinion and recommendation, Sukumar the director planned to make Pushpa in a raw and rustic manner but it lacked emotional conflict. Moreover, the decision of making it into two parts also damaged the story of the film. The narrative is very bland and slow. The first half is quite engaging but the second half moves at a snail's pace and bores us to the core. Barring Allu Arjun's exceptional performance, there is nothing else to watch out for in Pushpa. You can watch it only and only for Allu Arjun's act.

The movie Pushpa is the production by Mythri Movie Makers Muttamsetty Media production house. The movie is written and directed by Sukumar. It's produced by Naveen Yerneni Y. Ravi Shankar.
