Icon star Allu Arjun’s rustic film ‘Pushpa’ came out on 17th December and it bagged a mixed response. People praised the staggering performance of Allu Arjun while bashing the jarring second half. They are claiming it as Sukumar’s weakest work till date and it is to be seen how this affects the second part i.e ‘Pushpa – The Rule’. Irrespective of the talk, the film opened to packed houses and people flocked into the theatres to watch this most-awaited film.
Star actress Samantha’s special song was one of the biggest talking points prior to the film’s release. The song became a viral hit instantly and it was also Sam’s first item song in her career. Considering the track record of chartbuster item songs provided by the Sukumar-DSP combo in the past, the audience waited eagerly to watch on the big screens. While the song turned out to be a hit, it is the visuals that ended up disappointing the audience big time.
People who came out of theatres showcased their disappointment in Samantha. A few people were sad to see a star actress doing such a sensuous item song. Samantha definitely got a lot of negative response for her ‘Oo Antava’ song in ‘Pushpa’. A fan of Samantha said, “I am upset to see her in this song. Her exposing in skimpy dress is very bad. She shouldn’t have agreed to do this.” Another viewer stated, “Samantha’s song is ok. Once in a while is ok for her. But she shouldn’t limit herself doing this kind of stuff. As a fan I didn’t expect this from her.”
There is another set of audience who are not satisfied with Samantha’s show as they expressed, “I expected a lot from that song. Literally I came to watch the film only for her. But she made us utterly disappointed with her dance. There are no moves to shout for and to sound whistles inside the theater. Her impact is almost zero.”
Seems like people expected her song to be a huge success on the lines of Pooja Hegde’s ‘Jigel Rani’ but it ended nowhere near it. It is to be seen if Samantha does another item soon in the near future or not.
