The countdown for Peddi is over, and there are a few days to go before its release and the movie is already generating good marks at the box office. With Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor as lead actors, the Telugu entertainer has attracted a lot of bookings for the pre-release in India and has already crossed Rs 6 crore in bookings for the opening date.
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year. And since the movie has been announced, there has been a huge buzz around the movie ever since it was announced with a heavy star cast, beautiful promotional material, and Ram Charan's return to the big screen in a powerful new avatar.
According to early trade estimates, the film has crossed the Rs 6 crore mark in bookings across various formats and languages in India. The good pre-sales suggest that there is a lot of interest from the audience, so the movie will have a good first day at the box office.
A large portion of advance sales has been coming from Telugu-speaking regions, especially Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Ram Charan has a great fan base. A few premium shows in big cities were reported to have high occupancy levels, with most theatres having very fast filling or sold-out status before the release.
The industry has been able to tell that Ram Charan’s star power and Janhvi Kapoor’s Telugu debut were very important factors driving the film’s brisk bookings. The chemistry between the lead pair, as demonstrated with promotional materials and songs, has also created a buzz among the audience.
The movie also benefits from Ram Charan’s past success, which has elevated his popularity beyond the region. Peddi is therefore seeing healthy booking trends not only in the Telugu states but also in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and other overseas markets.
Trade analysts expect the booking figures to be elevated significantly in the last hours before the release, especially as spot booking and last-minute ticket purchases will be added to the total. If this trend continues, Peddi could be one of Ram Charan’s biggest openers.
The film is full of some of the best supporting actors, with Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor and promises to be full of action, drama, emotion, and commercial entertainment. Director Buchi Babu Sana has described the project as a rooted story with mass appeal, and it has resonated with the viewers during the promotional campaign.
The positive advance booking response has also inspired exhibitors and distributors who are expecting big footfalls on the opening weekend. Word of mouth is going to be such a huge part of the movie’s future if it gets good reviews from critics and audiences as well.
Now that the release date is on its way, all eyes are on the opening day performance of Peddi. With bookings at around Rs 6 crore and fans very excited about this movie, it would seem like a strong start at the box office for the film.
