What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics agree Ram Charan's committed performance and AR Rahman's score carry Peddi through an overlong, uneven script, but nearly all condemn the film's objectifying, non-consensual treatment of Janhvi Kapoor's character as its indefensible low point.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 25 readings; 13 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
