Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor has been appreciated for her screen presence and performance. However, some viewers felt that her role had limited scope and did not receive enough prominence within the overall narrative.
According to audience reactions, the film’s second half has emerged as a major strength. The shift in the storyline to Delhi, coupled with the final 40 minutes featuring intense action episodes, a night cricket match sequence and a wrestling showdown, has been widely praised by moviegoers.
A complete disaster and a huge disappointment.
Weak writing, outdated screenplay, forced emotions, and zero impact. Expectations were sky-high, but the film fails to deliver on almost every level.

However, not all responses have been unanimously positive. A section of viewers felt that the romantic track in the first half slows down the narrative, while others pointed to pacing issues and an extended runtime. Some social media users also described the screenplay as routine despite appreciating the film’s visual presentation, cinematography and production values.
While a large number of fans have hailed Peddi as a successful mass entertainer, a section of viewers has offered mixed opinions, with some drawing comparisons to Ram Charan’s earlier films. With audience reactions continuing to pour in, the film’s long-term box office prospects and critical reception are expected to become clearer over the weekend.
