Netizens say Prabhas' 'Salaar' climax fight was better than Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' ‘rappa rappa�?scene

‘Pushpa 2: The Rule�?featuring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, hit theatres on December 5, 2024, and later debuted on OTT on January 30. While the film enjoyed massive commercial success, reportedly amassing Rs 1,831 crore globally, its climax fight sequence—famously dubbed ‘Rappa Rappa�?(slaughter)—has sparked mixed reactions online.
Despite being promoted by the makers as one of the film’s standout moments—alongside the Jatara sequence—the climactic fight scene left many OTT viewers slightly disappointed. Social media was flooded with discussions questioning the intent and execution of the scene. A Reddit user humorously pondered, “Is this supposed to be a mass heroic scene or a comedy scene?�?br/>Another netizen described their reaction, stating, “I couldn’t stop laughing when he straight-up launches himself into the air, moves around like a boomerang, and starts biting everybody while his hands and feet are bound.�?Drawing a lighthearted comparison, one user joked, “This is how I wash clothes.�?br/>On X (formerly Twitter), the scene faced further scrutiny. “How to watch ‘Pushpa 2�?without regretting it: 1. Intro Scene: Skip it entirely and jump straight to his wake-up scene. 2. Songs: Whenever a song pops up, just fast-forward to the next scene. 3. Climax Fight (Rappa Rappa): Do yourself a favour—skip it completely (highly recommended). 4. Final Climax Scene: You can watch this part after the fight; it’s somewhat bearable. Enjoy (or at least survive) the rest of the movie!�?one netizen reacted.

Comparisons were drawn between ‘Pushpa 2�?and Prabhas�?‘Salaar�? with some users finding the latter’s Kaateramma fight sequence more impactful. One comment read, “In my opinion, the ‘Pushpa 2�?climax was more over the top. The ‘Salaar�?Kaateramma scene was worth it—it has been rewatched more times than the Rappa sequence of ‘Pushpa�? That’s what I truly felt. Nonetheless, AA did a great job. But for me, Kaateramma > Rappa.�?br/>

The instance occurs during the Jatara (temple festival) scene when Allu dresses in a saree and jewellery upon learning of Srivalli’s pregnancy. The second, more dramatic moment unfolds when the antagonists provoke him by kidnapping his niece. Defying physics and logic, the scene sees him battling enemies while airborne, despite his hands being tied—reminiscent of a fight sequence from ‘Pushpa: The Rise�?

The film concludes on a note that hints at a third instalment, ‘Pushpa 3: The Rampage�? While no official confirmation has been made, music composer Devi Sri Prasad has acknowledged discussions about it in interviews.
