Positive Points

• Ram Charan‘s powerful performance is the key highlight of Peddi. His terrific transformation and effort clearly carry the film. His final look as a runner is the standout, definitely attracting the audience and making the climax special.
• Jagapathi Babu & big Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar left a strong impact in the film. Especially Jagapathi Babu’s mission gives the reason why the audience should watch the film till the end.
• Director and writer Buchi Babu Sana succeeds in presenting a gripping and socially relevant story wrapped with commercial essences. The direction was well executed, while some pacing issues were detected in the middle portion of the film.
• AR Rahman‘s music is another highlight from the film, notably from the pre-interval to the end of the ‘Massa Massa’ song. The Oscar-winning maestro enriches the plot, especially in its emotional portion.
• Cinematographer R. Rathnavelu‘s work is praiseworthy. His sports portions, remarkably wrestling and cricket sequences, added flair and energy, which are worth celebrating.

Negative Points

• Janhvi Kapoor as Peddi’s love interest Achiyamma fails to leave impact.
• A. R. Rahman‘s BGM suffers in a few portions, but his songs recover these lowfalls. The soundtrack leaves a lasting impression and significantly enhances the overall cinematic experience.
• Naveen Nooli‘s editing could have been better.
