Peddi Movie Review: South superstar Ram Charan’s much awaited film ‘Peddi’ has finally been released in theatres. The audience had high expectations from this sports-drama film of director Buchi Babu Sana. Along with Ram Charan, actors like Jhanvi Kapoor, Shivrajkumar, Jagapati Babu and Boman Irani are seen in the film.
But the question is, does Peddi live up to the expectations of the audience? Let us know the complete review of this film.
Peddi Movie Review: What is the story?
The story of the film revolves around a village that is struggling for development and identity. Peddi, the young man from this village, dreams of giving a better future to his people. By using sports as a medium, he tries to give a new identity to his village. The film is not just a sports drama, but also attempts to show issues like social inequality, identity and conflict.
Ram Charan’s performance
If we talk about Peddi’s biggest strength then it is Ram Charan. Ram Charan has shown full hard work in the character of Peddi. His emotional scenes, action sequences and screen presence carry the film. Many critics have described it as one of the finest performances of his career. Ram Charan’s acting tries to keep the audience engaged even in the weak parts of the film.
Direction and Screenplay
Director Buchi Babu Sana had big intentions. He has tried to combine sports, social issues and emotional story together.
However, the biggest problem of the film is its length and scattered screenplay. The duration of more than three hours makes the film slow at many places. Many critics believe that despite the good ideas in the story, its execution was not that effective.
Music and technical side
The music and background score of the film are quite impressive. The music in many emotional and sports sequences gives extra energy to the film. The cinematography is also superb and the film looks gorgeous in many scenes on the big screen.
Jhanvi Kapoor and other actors
Jhanvi Kapoor’s presence is in the film, but her character does not get as much strength as the audience expects. For this reason, there was a lot of discussion and criticism on social media regarding his character. Whereas Shivraj Kumar and Jagapati Babu succeed in leaving an impact in their respective characters.
How is the audience reaction?
The audience’s opinion regarding the film has been mixed. Most people have praised Ram Charan’s acting, but the length of the story and some controversial parts have also been criticized.
Despite this, the film has made a strong start at the box office and has almost reached the figure of Rs 250 crore worldwide in the first week of its release.
Should Peddi be watched?
If you are a fan of Ram Charan and like large-scale sports-drama films, then Peddi might appeal to you. But if you are expecting a fast-paced and perfectly balanced story, the film may disappoint you at some places.
Peddi Movie Review: Our verdict
Peddi is an ambitious film with strong acting, great music and a big vision. But weak writing, long runtime and uneven screenplay prevent its potential from being fully realised.
