Reception

[edit]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo's review of Peddha Kapu 1 for The Hindu gives it 1/5 stars. Director Srikanth Addala's 'Peddha Kapu 1' attempts to depict the rise of a common man amidst class, caste, and power struggles but falls flat. While there are moments that show promise, the film ultimately becomes tedious and voyeuristic in its portrayal of violence, losing sight of character development. The excessive brutality and repulsive sexual violence detract from the potential of the story, leaving viewers disengaged. Despite some notable performances, the film's shortcomings make it a difficult watch, especially considering its intention to explore important social issues..[4]

A critic from Telangana Today, in their review wrote that "Peddha Kapu 1 is definitely worth being on the list of the best political action drama movies in Telugu. There was Prasthanam once, there was Rangasthalam later, and today it is Peddha Kapu 1 that one shouldn’t miss watching in theatres despite looking at it as a small film".[5]
