After a successful theatrical run, Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s blockbuster Peddi is finally gearing up for its digital premiere. Fans who missed the film on the big screen can now watch the sports action entertainer from the comfort of their homes.

Netflix has officially announced that Peddi will begin streaming from July 9 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The Hindi version, however, will have a longer theatrical window and is expected to premiere on the platform in August.

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi turned out to be Tollywood’s highest-grossing film of the year, overtaking Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu at the box office. While the film enjoyed a phenomenal run across the Telugu states, its overseas performance remained below expectations. Despite that, the movie amassed over ₹400 crore worldwide, making it one of Ram Charan’s biggest commercial successes.

The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, while Shruti Haasan grabbed attention with a special dance number. The ensemble cast also includes Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, Jagapathi Babu, Tarak Ponnappa, and several others in pivotal roles.

Adding to the film’s appeal is its powerful soundtrack composed by AR Rahman, which received a positive response from audiences.

With its OTT release now confirmed, Peddi is expected to reach an even wider audience on Netflix and continue its successful journey beyond theatres.

Punchline

Alpha is an ambitious spy thriller that boasts lavish production values and stylish action, but weak writing, an uninspiring screenplay, and a controversial narrative make it the weakest film in the YRF Spy Universe.

Storyline

Lt. Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat (Bobby Deol), devastated by the heavy losses suffered during the Kargil War, conceives a secret mission called Project Alpha to strengthen India’s future security. However, the government shuts down the operation and demotes him. Unwilling to abandon his vision, Fateh secretly continues the mission, with Sita (Alia Bhatt) eventually becoming a crucial part of his plan. The film follows Sita’s journey as she carries forward Project Alpha while uncovering the truth behind Fateh’s controversial mission.

Positives

YRF once again delivers grand production values with visually appealing action sequences.
The visual effects are a noticeable improvement compared to some recent entries in the franchise.
Sharvari performs convincingly in the action scenes despite having limited screen time.
The face-off between Alia Bhatt and Sharvari stands out as one of the better action moments.
Bobby Deol delivers a sincere performance, while Anil Kapoor is dependable in his supporting role.

Negatives

The screenplay is slow, predictable, and lacks the excitement expected from a spy thriller.
The central twist feels heavily inspired by recent films but fails to create any impact.
The narrative presents India’s intelligence agencies and the Army in an unconvincing and controversial manner, weakening the emotional core.
Alia Bhatt, despite being a talented actress, appears miscast in a full-fledged action role and struggles to make the action sequences believable.
The film relies too much on glamour and stylish visuals while neglecting storytelling and character development.
Even with a relatively short runtime, the movie feels repetitive and emotionally disconnected.
The much-hyped cameo fails to generate excitement and ends up feeling underwhelming.

Technicalities

The production design and overall scale are impressive, giving the film a polished look. Rubais’ cinematography captures the action sequences effectively, while the VFX is better than expected. However, the songs leave little impression, and the background score lacks the intensity required for a spy thriller. Aarif Sheikh’s editing cannot overcome the sluggish pacing. Director Shiv Rawail, who previously impressed with The Railway Men, fails to recreate that magic here, delivering a film that lacks both emotional depth and engaging storytelling.

Rating

2/5

Final Verdict

Alpha turns out to be a major disappointment and arguably the weakest installment in the YRF Spy Universe. While the film offers impressive visuals and a few well-executed action moments, its weak screenplay, questionable writing choices, uninspiring performances in key moments, and lack of emotional engagement overshadow its strengths. Stylish presentation alone cannot compensate for the absence of a compelling story, making Alpha a forgettable spy thriller that struggles to justify its place in the franchise.
