TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.25/5):
Annaatthe is unarguably the weakest film in Siva’s filmography. For all those who complained Darbar was Rajinikanth’s lamest film in recent years, they’ll change their opinion as they step out of Annaatthe.
Great Andhra(Rating: 2/5):
Overall, Annaatthe did have the potential to be a moving family drama. However, it is the screenplay that tests everyone’s patience.
Mirchi9 (Rating: 1.75/5):
Overall, Peddanna is a very formulaic and routine mass sentiment fare that is predictable and outdated from the word go. The biggest of names go through the motions providing no fun and vigour. It will be a favour to every Superstar fan if they forget the movie exists.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.5/5):
On the whole, Peddanna is a dragged-out family drama stuck in the ’80s. Lack of strong emotions, dull conflict point, and boring second half are huge drawbacks of this film. Hardcore Rajini fans will love their demi-god but the rest of the film is a very dull and overdramatic affair, to say the least.
Times Of India (Rating: 2/5):
If Petta felt like a pastiche of Rajinikanth’s films, Annaatthe seems like a collage made out of the weaker moments from director Siva’s filmography. We have the villains from Siruthai, the ‘saviour who cannot reveal his identity’ angle from Veeram, the brother-sister sentiment from Vedalam, and the rural backdrop from Viswasam. The result is a movie whose emotional beats feel blatantly calculated and manipulative
