Peddi X reviews
The film was one of the highly anticipated movies of 2026, but it didn’t live up to fans’ expectations and is now receiving mixed reviews from the audience. All those who watched the early show of the movie are calling out the plot and mistaking it for hero worship. They are also criticising the makers for using Janhvi as just a beauty prop in the film, with no strong character arc. The actress enjoys a huge fan base in the Hindi-speaking belt (North India) and has also proven her acting prowess in films like Ulajh, Good Luck Jerry, Mili and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.
Apart from Ram and Janhvi, the film also stars Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu and Boman Irani. The film is said to be made on a reported budget of ₹350 crore.
