LIVE : Pandit Sri Swami Srinivasananda Saraswati Press Meet on Parakamani Case | YS Jagan

Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi has finally made its OTT debut on Netflix and is receiving a positive response from viewers. Since its digital premiere, audiences have been appreciating the film’s performances and emotional narrative, with Janhvi Kapoor’s role also drawing a more favorable reaction than it did during the theatrical run.

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the OTT version is the re-edited market sequence involving Janhvi Kapoor. During the film’s theatrical release, the scene attracted widespread criticism, with many viewers and media outlets accusing the makers of unnecessarily objectifying the actress. The sequence quickly became a subject of social media trolling and generated considerable negative publicity for the film.

For the Netflix version, the makers have trimmed and reworked the controversial portions, resulting in a more balanced presentation. The revised scene has been welcomed by viewers, with many social media users commenting that the changes make the narrative flow better while avoiding the criticism that surrounded the original version.

The latest response has also reignited discussions about the film’s theatrical release. Many viewers believe that if these edits had been incorporated before the film hit cinemas, Peddi might have received a much more positive reception from the outset. Director Buchi Babu Sana had earlier faced criticism over the sequence and publicly apologized following the controversy.

With the revised version now streaming, the conversation has shifted toward the film’s strengths. Ram Charan’s powerful performance is once again earning praise, and audiences appear to be focusing more on the story and emotional core of the film rather than the controversy that overshadowed its theatrical release.

The positive reception on OTT suggests that Peddi is finding a fresh audience, giving the film a second innings through its digital release.
