- •Strong star power but weak script
Ram Charan's latest offering, Peddi, has made a noteworthy debut in the Telugu film market. Distributed by a leading mogul, the film registered impressive net collections of Rs 39 crores over two days, with significant shares from premier shows in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. While the initial response is heartening, some critics are divided on the quality of the narrative.
According to industry insights, Peddi has been sold for Rs 150 crores in two key regions, underlining its financial potency. Distributors highlight that Ram Charan's star power played a crucial role in attracting audiences, yet there are concerns about the script's depth.
Challenges Awaiting Peddi
The film is criticized for its convoluted storyline focusing on 1800 tribals seeking identity and respect. Critics point out that this wafer-thin plot has dragged the feature to nearly 3 hours, leaving audiences frustrated. With the narrative's limitations, director Buchi Babu was unable to deliver on his promises of showcasing the plight of underprivileged people through songs, action, and sports.
While Ram Charan's fan base undoubtedly helped kickstart the film's success, the screenplay's shortcomings are evident. The mix of elements like sport-centric scenes and a poorly woven storyline have made it a mixed bag at the box office. Fans and critics alike hope it can sustain its momentum over the coming days.
