Jr NTR‘s Devara and Ram Charan‘s Peddi are among the biggest Telugu releases in recent years, and both films registered massive openings worldwide.

|---|---|---|
| Devara | Weekend (3 Days) | ₹250 Cr |
| Peddi | 4 Days | ₹235 Cr |
While the overall worldwide numbers favor Devara, the territorial breakdown paints a far more competitive picture between the two star-led films.
Telugu States: Peddi Takes the Lead
In the Telugu states excluding Ceeded, Peddi outperformed Devara during its opening weekend and surprised trade circles with its strong hold across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In several territories, Peddi‘s first weekend collections were reportedly on par with — and in some cases even higher than — Devara‘s entire first week numbers.
The sports drama particularly gained momentum on Sunday, helping it emerge as the stronger performer in the Telugu belt and reaffirming Ram Charan‘s box-office pull in his core markets.
Devara Dominates Pan-India and Overseas
However, Devara maintained a massive advantage in Hindi markets, Rest of India territories, and overseas circuits. The film performed significantly better in North India and international markets, especially in the US, which eventually helped it secure a clear worldwide lead.
While Peddi dominated several Telugu territories with stronger local performance, Devara‘s wider pan-India and overseas reach ensured a superior overall box-office result. In the end, Peddi won the Peddi vs Devara battle in Telugu states, but Devara comfortably remains the bigger worldwide opener.
