@taran_adarsh It's a disaster flop...yes the word of mouth has come into play...empty theatres...released on so many screens, still can not recover cost.

#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.
Heartiest congratulations @narendramodi ji on the resounding victories in Assam, Bengal & Puducherry elections. Your leadership, dedication, and tireless efforts have truly paid off.
This win reflects the trust people have in your vision and commitment to progress 🇮🇳 @PMOIndia
