Peddi Review: Ram Charan Shines in Identity Drama, Janhvi Kapoor Underutilized

In the arena of commercial Indian cinema, Peddi arrives as a film wrestling with questions older than sport itself — how much must the marginalized surrender before dignity is recognized as a birthright? Director Buchi Babu Sana uses wrestling, cricket, and sprinting not as spectacle but as a language for systemic disrespect, anchored by Ram Charan's physically inhabited performance. The film earns its moments of genuine power, even as its own contradictions — most visibly in how it treats its female lead — reveal the fault lines between a story's intentions and the industry that tells it.
