Allu Arjun Did It For Amazon, But Not Netflix
Now that the second installment of pushpa is out on Netflix, it must be acknowledged that the first response to the first installment on amazon Prime is not quite as harsh. The first segment was an instant hit on Prime Video and had the potential to appeal to all demographics of viewers nationwide. It might very easily be considered a banner movie for amazon, and it remained such for a year or two, which is a huge accomplishment.
Pushpa 2's OTT reach has been rather saturated and stagnant outside of this zone. The lockdown advantage in the first section allowed individuals to work from home and had more time to burn, which is a significant difference. Furthermore, the mannerisms and melodies were quite impressive. Getting to the second point, there wasn't a crazy rush for OTT since people had become used to what was available and the great majority of them watched the movie in theaters.
