In 2021, Samantha made a huge impact with her performance in “Oo Antava” from Pushpa: The Rise. The song went viral, with Samantha’s bold moves and intense lip-sync grabbing all the attention. It became a hot topic because of its controversial lyrics and choreography.
“Oo Antava” stood out for its bold take on the male gaze, wrapped up in an item number. Despite facing backlash, especially after Samantha’s divorce from Naga Chaitanya, the song still had a strong appeal and kept people talking long after its release.
Now, Sreeleela faces the challenge of following in Samantha’s footsteps with “Kissik,” the new dance number in Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Pushpa 2 Song KISSIK Fails To Impress As Netizens Prefer ‘Oo Antava’ Over Sreeleela’s Dance Number
The song was promoted with a similar vibe to Oo Antava, aiming to capture the same seductive energy. Allu Arjun joined Sreeleela in the song, raising expectations for their chemistry on-screen.
However, “Kissik” hasn’t lived up to those expectations. Fans have been expressing disappointment online, with many commenting that “Oo Antava” was far better. Some even mentioned that Allu Arjun and Samantha had a much stronger impact together.
Here’s How Netizens Reacted
While Kissik tried to recreate the same sultry atmosphere of Oo Antava, it didn’t have the same raw power or charm. Fans pointed out that even with Allu Arjun’s presence, the track fell short of the magic that Oo Antava had. One fan said, “Not even close to Oo Antava, the recent Telugu YouTube songs are more catchy than this one.”
Another wrote, “Oo Antava is far better 🙌” A third comment read: “One of the worst song of all time. Comparing this to Oo antava is such a crime.”

Just heard this latest song “Kissik” from Pushpa 2 and I’m feeling bad for Sreeleela.
Such a downfall of the Indian Music Industry.
“O Antava” was a hit, so makers feel there should be an item song in Pushpa 2 as well.

U antava Mama Song was a chartbuster and it is one of main reasons why #Pushpa was Successful.#Kissik song in #Pushpa2 is really Bad
Think Samantha is the difference. She was beautiful & elegant, Sri leela is disgustingly cringe pic.twitter.com/ScisMDWcRi
