First Reactions Are In: Fans Can’t Stop Talking About Ram Charan’s Performance
The much-awaited sports drama Peddi finally hit theatres after its June 3 premiere screenings, and social media is buzzing with reactions. Ram Charan, who plays a village man fighting for recognition, has received massive praise for his physical transformation and emotional depth. One user wrote that the actor delivers one of the finest performances of his career, truly bringing his character to life.
Another review highlighted the strong emotional connect, calling it the film’s biggest strength. Fans are particularly moved by the last 40 minutes, which one viewer described as ‘very powerful’ and ‘deeply touching.’ The climax has been called ‘wow’ by many, with several users urging national awards for both the star and the film. A social media post summed it up: Peddi is not an entertainment-oriented film but an emotionally driven, content-rich project. It’s appreciable that a big star like Ram Charan took up such a subject, yaar.
What Worked and What Didn’t: A Mixed Bag But Entertaining
While the praise is loud, some viewers pointed out areas that could have been stronger. One detailed review rated the film 2.75 out of 5, calling it a ‘watchable commercial entertainer’ that works in parts despite its regular template narration. According to the review, the first half is fairly average with template commercial elements, and Janhvi Kapoor’s track doesn’t work. However, the stretch from pre-interval to the end of the ‘Massa Massa’ song is the film’s biggest highlight and is executed well.
Post that, the film drags with ups and downs, though the climax is wrapped up neatly. The same review noted that Buchi Babu Sana succeeds in presenting an honest story, but the screenplay and editing could have been better. Another user emphasised that the second half is the key — the movie is full of good meaning and keeps you hooked. They called the climax one of the best in recent times, saying ‘Our heart is full now, saaar.’
Behind the Scenes: AR Rahman’s Score and Buchi Babu’s Direction Get Their Due
A.R. Rahman’s background score has been a major talking point. Several reviews call it extraordinary and one of the best from the music maestro. The English lyrics that play during elevation sequences were also loved. One user wrote that technically, Peddi is brilliant, and the background score is absolutely top-notch.
Director Buchi Babu Sana is being praised for his storytelling and presentation. Fans feel the director gave a beautiful story that delivers a wholesome feel. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, and Boman Irani in key roles. With solid box-office potential predicted, Peddi seems to have struck a chord with audiences looking for content-driven cinema with a big star.
