Performance Analysis
In Karnataka, the film performed well, indicating good acceptance in the neighboring state. However, the opening was poor in other language markets and below par in overseas territories compared to recent big-budget Telugu releases.
The Ustaad Bhagat Singh day 1 collections earlier this year collected ₹31.7 Cr worldwide share, showing Peddi’s stronger opening among recent mass entertainers.
Day 2 and Weekend Outlook
The second day has seen a decent hold for Peddi after the good opening. The film needs to show solid jumps on Saturday and Sunday to get close to its breakeven target and sustain momentum through the first week.
