Peddi X review

Ram Charan is called the 'strength of the film' and is lauded for his terrific performance. Director Buchi Babu Sana is also praised for delivering an unconventional and content-driven film. Majority of netizens are disappointed with the screenplay and the runtime. Some scenes were unnecessarily dragged, according to some users.

One called Peddi a "complete disaster" and "huge disappointment."

Many felt Janhvi Kapoor's character is poorly written and not well utilised. Audiences raved about Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu for their competent performances.

An excerpt of Outlook India review of Peddi reads: "The biggest issue with Peddi is its confused relationship with the very themes it wants to explore. The film repeatedly gestures towards caste discrimination, economic inequality and political exploitation. Yet whenever these subjects demand genuine engagement, the narrative retreats into familiar commercial cinema shortcuts. Characters become symbols rather than people. Struggles become plot devices rather than lived realities."

Peddi is expected in the range of Rs 80-90 crore worldwide on Day 1. It might even cross the Rs 200 crore mark over the weekend if the film is backed by positive word of mouth.
