Our take
Peddi is a Telugu sports drama about a tribal village labourer who turns to wrestling to fight for recognition. It carries an MA 15+/A 16+ certificate and runs over three hours. Intense match violence, systemic discrimination, a friend's suicide and edited romantic scenes that drew controversy in India all feature. Best for mature teens drawn to underdog sports stories and social-justice themes.

- Sports become a path to justice after personal loss. How do athletes carry more than themselves?
