#Peddi: POWERFUL.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
A sports drama with its share of highs and lows... Its biggest strength is #RamCharan's memorable performance + several terrific moments... Screenplay could've been tighter and the runtime shorter. #PeddiReview
After making an impressive directorial debut with the well-crafted and hugely successful #Uppena, director #BuchiBabuSana returns with an unconventional, content-driven film in his second outing, #Peddi.
The film doesn't follow the tried-and-tested masala template, but at the same time, it attempts to cram a little too much into its 3-hour-plus runtime.
A sports drama needs awe-inspiring moments, and #Peddi certainly delivers on that front... The cricket matches in the first half, the kushti training sessions and competitions, and of course, the penultimate race sequence are all exceptionally executed.
That said, there are loose ends as well... The romantic track is a major letdown, while several sequences feel stretched and some seem unnecessary... A shorter runtime was the need of the hour.
Even the item song in the second half evokes strong #Pushpa vibes, which wasn't really required.
#Peddi rests largely on #RamCharan's shoulders, and the actor delivers a sparkling, stunning, award-worthy performance... It's a physically demanding role that also demands a high emotional quotient – not an easy combination to pull off – but #RamCharan is simply smashing.
#JanhviKapoor's character deserved stronger writing and a more impactful presentation... Dr #ShivaRajkumar is fantastic, #JagapathiBabu is rock-solid, while #Divyenndu delivers a competent performance.
#BomanIrani, #RaviKishan, and #UpendraLimaye lend solid support.
#ARRahman's music works well, with #Chikiri standing out... The background score is electrifying, while #RRathnavelu's cinematography is top-notch... The #Hindi dubbing is very good.
⭐ Final word? The buzz for #Peddi in the #Hindi markets is currently on the lower side, and its boxoffice prospects will depend heavily on positive word of mouth... The #Telugu version, meanwhile, is expected to dominate the business.
Mere Pyaare Sandeep,
I genuinely love the way you stand your ground and give it back when it matters. There’s a real honesty and belief in that and it’s something I truly respect.
I’ve always looked up to how you back your cinema without any doubt or noise.
That kind of conviction reminds all of us to trust our voice and just go for it.
Give my love to the Legend Prabhas sir!
❤️🤩
Big love and all the best for Spirit.
Really looking forward to it.
And if there’s ever anything I can do, I’d genuinely love to help a brother.
Thanks again! 🙏🤗

Elevations Peak - Cinema Weak
Unlike Sukumar's usual style, this film has no strong story or screenplay and instead focuses solely on events. Allu Arjun's performance carries this mediocre film on his shoulders.
Rashmika gets a strong role to
play, Fahadh character is asusually mad, The background score was excellent.
Overall Pushpa2 doesn’t fully satisfy the viewers cravings. You can enjoy the parts where you get an adrenaline rush.
