Peddi Movie Review and Release LIVE Updates: Ram Charan-starrer early reviews praise ‘powerful interval block, emotional foundation’
Peddi Movie Review and Release LIVE Updates: Ram Charan film eyes Rs 100 crore opening amid ticket hike, special shows
Peddi Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Ram Charan is back on the big screen after the disappointing run of Game Changer, this time headlining a sports drama with Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film also features Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Boman Irani, and Divyenndu in pivotal roles. With the film finally hitting theatres, social media has been flooded with audience reactions and early reviews.
Peddi marks Ram Charan’s third release since the blockbuster success of RRR. However, none of his post-RRR films have managed to recreate the magic of the SS Rajamouli directorial. While Acharya opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews, Game Changer fared even worse commercially. Mounted on a reported budget exceeding Rs 450 crore, the film managed to earn only around Rs 190 crore worldwide, making it one of the biggest setbacks in the actor’s career.

With Peddi, expectations are considerably higher. The film revolves around a gifted athlete struggling to carve out an identity of his own, blending sports drama with an emotional underdog narrative.

According to Sacnilk, Peddi sold close to three lakh tickets in advance bookings for its opening day across all languages. The Telugu version alone accounted for over 2.8 lakh ticket sales. These bookings were recorded across 4,248 shows nationwide. The film has also crossed Rs 12 crore in worldwide advance sales, indicating strong initial interest among audiences.
Trade estimates suggest that Peddi carries a break-even target of approximately Rs 500 crore worldwide gross, making it one of the most ambitious and high-stakes projects of Ram Charan’s career. If the film manages to achieve that milestone, it will become only the second film in the actor’s career after RRR to cross the Rs 500 crore mark at the global box office.
