Ram Charan's much-anticipated sports drama Peddi has finally hit theatres, and early audience reactions are pouring in on social media.
What's Happening
- Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film marks Ram Charan's return to the big screen following the underwhelming response to Game Changer.
- The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Boman Irani and Divyendu Sharma in key roles.
- Going by the initial reactions on X (formerly Twitter), Peddi has opened to a mixed-to-positive response.
- While viewers have pointed out certain shortcomings in the screenplay and pacing, many have praised Ram Charan's performance and the film's emotional storytelling.
- A recurring theme in audience reactions is Charan's screen presence and commitment to the role. Several users described him as the film's strongest asset, with many stating that his performance keeps the narrative engaging even when the story loses momentum.
One viewer wrote, "#Peddi is one rare film which has the structure of a template Telugu commercial film and yet shines with out-of-the-box story and presentation. Everything about this film is so so good. The introduction of the hero, the music, and dance numbers give proper support to this grounded story. Ram Charan, with his fantastic performance, stands out. Rahman sir shared music with his heart for this film. Jagapathi Babu as Appalosoori is brilliant. Overall, a good sports drama with a good story and great performances. I loved it."

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film sold nearly three lakh tickets in advance bookings across India for its opening day.
