Netizens Call It ‘Pure Cinematic Fire’
Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi hits theatres worldwide on June 4, but early screenings and paid premieres have already ignited a storm on social media. Fans on X are calling the film nothing short of ‘pure cinematic fire.’
One viral post hails Ram Charan’s performance as ‘one of the most intense and career-defining of his life, owning every frame with unmatched screen presence.’ Janhvi Kapoor is being celebrated for bringing ‘charm, emotion, and depth’ to the story. The action sequences, background score, and emotional beats are all getting top marks from early viewers.
A detailed first-half review describes the film as ‘highly engaging,’ singling out a ‘One Rupee sequence’ as a standout. Shivaraj Kumar’s cameo—only two scenes long—is called ‘incredibly powerful.’ Another overjoyed fan posted: ‘#PEDDI BLOCKBUSTER FIRST HALF. Pre Interval to Interval COMPLETE GOOSEBUMPSSSS. Super talk nadusthundhiii.’ The Telugu phrase adds to the mass excitement.
Advance Booking Numbers Are Impressive
The buzz isn’t just online—advance ticket sales tell a huge story. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Peddi raked in Rs 9.82 crore in early advance bookings without including block bookings. With block bookings factored in, that number jumps to Rs 16.66 crore by Wednesday afternoon. Globally, advance sales have already crossed Rs 35 crore gross. These numbers signal a blockbuster opening in the making.
Paid premieres on select screens on June 3 only added to the momentum, with audiences walking out as instant fans. Social media is flooded with calls to book tickets immediately.
What Makes Peddi a Must-Watch?
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi draws inspiration from a real-life daily wage labourer named Peddi Raju, whose inspiring journey from construction sites to sports stardom forms the emotional core. Netizens are raving about the perfect blend of mass entertainment and heartfelt storytelling.
The background score is being called a major highlight—’elevates every major moment.’ Ram Charan’s screen presence and Janhvi’s emotional performance are the anchors. One review summarises it as ‘a true big screen spectacle and one of the year’s most memorable theatrical experiences.’ With critics and fans already on board, Peddi looks set to deliver a knockout punch at the box office.
