Ram Charan’s Peddi is performing exceptionally well in Andhra Pradesh right from its opening day. The film has delivered a solid first weekend at the box office and maintained a strong hold on its first Monday, indicating sustained audience interest in the region.
Strong Monday Hold Signals Breakeven Success
Peddi is all set to achieve breakeven in Andhra Pradesh (6 territories), a rare feat in the post-COVID era. Very few films have managed to recover their theatrical costs in the Andhra region since the pandemic, making Peddi‘s performance particularly noteworthy. Achieving breakeven with a substantial business of ₹75 Cr demonstrates the film’s commercial strength and Ram Charan’s stronghold in Andhra Pradesh.
The film collected ₹5 Cr share (including GST) on its 5th day (Monday) in Andhra Pradesh, showcasing minimal drop from the weekend. This strong Monday hold is a critical indicator of a film’s long-term theatrical potential.
| Metric | Performance |
|---|---|
| Andhra Pradesh Business | ₹75 Cr |
| Day 5 Share (AP) | ₹5 Cr (incl. GST) |
| Territories Covered | 6 (Andhra) |
Ram Charan’s Dominance in Andhra Market
The performance of Peddi in Andhra Pradesh once again proves Ram Charan’s commanding presence in the region. Despite the high breakeven target, the film is maintaining terrific holds through the weekdays, which is essential for achieving theatrical recovery in today’s competitive market.
Second Weekend Momentum Expected
Peddi is expected to gain good momentum again during its second weekend. With positive word-of-mouth and strong performance indicators from the first week, the film is well-positioned to not just achieve breakeven but potentially deliver healthy profits from the Andhra Pradesh region alone.
The weekday stability combined with anticipated weekend jump makes Peddi one of the few recent films to show strong box office legs in Andhra Pradesh post-COVID.
