Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan Film Earns ₹145 Cr Worldwide

Ram Charan‘s latest sports drama Peddi has collected ₹145.2 Cr worldwide in its opening weekend, with strong performance in Telugu states despite mixed reviews. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film opened on a non-holiday Thursday and held well through Sunday.

Opening Weekend Performance

Despite releasing on a non-holiday Thursday, the Ram Charan-starrer registered a strong opening at the box office. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences but managed to hold reasonably well over the next two days, with Sunday emerging as the strongest day of the weekend.

Regional Performance Analysis

Peddi has performed well across the Telugu states, collecting ₹107.92 Cr from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. However, the A. R. Rahman musical underperformed in overseas markets, Karnataka, and the Hindi belt. Multiple postponements and the backlash surrounding Janhvi Kapoor‘s portrayal are believed to have affected the film’s overall performance significantly.

In North India, Peddi opened to lower numbers than Ram Charan‘s previous outing, Game Changer. While Sunday showed some improvement, trade experts believe the film still faces an uphill battle considering its massive budget. The absence of any major Hindi releases this week could help the film maintain a decent second-week run at the box office.
