Peddi FIRST Review: Ram Charan’s Peddi is finally in theatres and early reviews suggest that it is an average movie. On Thursday, several X users took to their respective accounts to share their reviews of
the rural sports action drama.
One of the users called Buchi Babu Sana’s directorial a “watchable commercial entertainer with an honest story that works in parts despite its regular template narration”. The same user shared that while Ram Charan is ‘terrific’ in the movie, AR Rahman’s music is also appreciable.
“Ram Charan is terrific and clearly carries the film. His transformation and effort are evident throughout. ARR’s music works well and is another highlight. Buchi Babu Sana succeeds in presenting an honest story, but the screenplay and editing could have been better,” the user wrote.
#Peddi A watchable commercial entertainer with an honest story that works in parts despite its regular template narration!
The first half is fairly average with template commercial elements, and Jahnvi’s track doesn’t work. However, the stretch from the pre-interval to the end…

Users also appreciated Ram Charan’s physical transformation for the film and argued that his performance is one of the major reasons why one must watch this movie. “@AlwaysRamCharan garu was outstanding. 🔥 Even if you’re not a fan, the performance makes you sit up and watch. 👌(sic),” wrote a fan.
What impressed me the most about #Peddi wasn’t just the story.
It was the emotion. 🥺
The director never lets you disconnect from the film. You stay invested from start to finish. 💥@AlwaysRamCharan garu was outstanding. 🔥

Another user reviewed Janhvi Kapoor’s performance in the film and called it “another forgettable role with limited scope”. Netizens also mentioned that Janhvi Kapoor’s role felt wasted, not because of her but because of the writing. They argued that her character wasn’t given a proper arc to develop.
Several social media users also talked about the length of the film, which is 3 hours and 9 minutes and pointed out that it could have been easily trimmed.
It will be interesting to see how Peddi will perform at the box office during its opening weekend.
