Ram Charan’s sports action drama Peddi concluded its first week at the box office with a strong performance, collecting nearly 169 Cr share worldwide across all languages. The film has secured the 6th position among Telugu films with the highest first-week share, placing it ahead of recent blockbusters like Devara and OG.
The Buchi Babu Sana-directed film’s first-week performance puts it in elite company, though it still trails the industry’s biggest juggernauts including RRR, Pushpa 2, and Kalki 2898 AD.

The 200 Cr Milestone Question
Trade analysts are now watching closely to see whether Peddi can cross the coveted 200 Cr share mark in its complete theatrical run. Currently sitting at 168.5 Cr after week one, the film needs approximately 31.5 Cr more to reach this milestone.
The second weekend will be crucial for Peddi’s journey toward 200 Cr. A solid hold in week two, coupled with positive word-of-mouth, could help the film achieve this landmark figure and further cement Ram Charan’s position as one of Telugu cinema’s most bankable stars.
