India Forums gave 3.5 starts to the film out of 5. "Pushpa 2 The Rule is a mass entertainment as we love it. Allu Arjun has sealed his name in history books with this character. While it is lengthy due to prolonged action sequences that cater to fans, the tempo does not lag. Pushpa 2 is a movie that warrants a visit to the theatre due Allu Arjun's performance alone. And there are many more elements to enjoy along the way," read the review.
