Peddi review: Ram Charan and the emotions hit sixes, the writing gets dhobi pachaad

Key points

• There are films that keep audiences waiting.
• Then there are films that make audiences wonder whether the wait was worth it.
• After years of delays, endless speculation and the familiar uncertainty that now follows most star-led Pan-India productions, Peddi finally arrives carrying both excitement and scepticism in equal measure.
• By the time it reached theatres, it was carrying more than expectations.
• It was carrying years of discussions, leaked plot points and the pressure of being Ram Charan's next big statement.
