Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor are all set to surprise audiences with their upcoming film, Peddi. Slated for release on June 4, 2026, the film has generated significant buzz. However, the biggest question on the audience’s mind now is whether it is worth it. So, as we wait for the film’s release, let’s take a look at what the early reviews suggest.
Ram Charan to make a strong comeback with Peddi?
Ram Charan is all set to make his comeback with Peddi. After disasters like Acharya and Game Changer, fans have been speculating about what the upcoming film will be like. According to reports, Peddi’s premiere starts tonight in both Andhra and Telangana, with government permission for ticket hikes. In Telangana, premier tickets will cost around Rs. 600. From June 4, 2026, single screens will be able to charge Rs. 100 more, and multiplexes will be able to charge up to Rs. 125 more. While a Hyderabad press meet was planned, it was postponed due to Pawan Kalyan’s press conference. However, with just a few hours to go, fans are waiting eagerly.
What is Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi about?
According to reports, Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer is a village sports drama with high emotional core. The film has been directed by Buchi Babu Sana. Key roles are helmed by Shiva Rajkumar and Jagapathi Babu. It’s a village-based emotional drama with a sports backdrop, produced by Venkat Satish Kilaru. Director, Buchi Babu shared some details of the film. Reflecting on the plot of Peddi, Buchi Babu revealed that the story follows a player’s fight for his region and how the sport brings recognition to his people. According to the director, the film promises a heavy emotional drama. He also claimed that Ram Charan’s character will blow everyone away.
What do the early reviews of Peddi suggest?
Peddi has cleared its censor formalities and gained a U/A certificate. According to reports, the Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer has a runtime of 122 minutes, which comes to around 3 hours and 2 minutes. The makers at Mythri Movie Makers have already shown the film to buyers, and producer Ravi Shankar has claimed that every buyer who saw the film has given a “blockbuster” report, calling it the biggest film of Ram Charan’s career that will rewrite all records. However, it is not just the buyers; even Shiva Rajkumar has predicted a National Award for Ram Charan for his performance in Peddi. The team is trying to build hype, but the buzz is low as the trailer didn’t really connect with the audience. The film’s success now depends entirely on word-of-mouth after its release.
Are overseas critics divided over Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi?
While the buzz around the film in India suggests a good outcome, the overseas commentary seems to be extremely contrasting. According to reports, an overseas critic, Umair Sandhu, has given the film a harsh review. He called the movie boring and is just a lazy mass entertainer, like old wine in a new bottle. Umair didn’t mince his words or thoughts on the Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer.
However, fans should take his words with a grain of salt, as Umair Sandhu’s reviews are often negative and don’t always align with the final result. With fans excited to see the film, the hope is that Peddi will be the change we were all looking for. Nonetheless, with just hours left before the film’s release, fans will be able to draw their own conclusions about Peddi.
