Ram Charan’s anticipated film Peddi is unstoppable at the box office. After showing so much of itself in the theatre with massive numbers, packed halls and fantastic reviews, the movie is still getting better and better every day. The movie is still making records and is one of the biggest box office hits of the year. Directed by Bucchi Babu, Ram Charan plays the lead role with Janhvi Kapoor, and Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar plays a key role.
The movie’s success story started even before it was released. Special premiere shows on June 3 generated a lot of buzz among moviegoers. 847 premiere screenings in various locations and an occupancy rate of 72 per cent made Peddi a huge ₹18.50 crore net revenue maker in the first week alone. These numbers showed that the film was on the way to a huge opening and set the stage for what was going to be a huge start.
Peddi had a fantastic first day in theatres and delivered excellent numbers. The film was played in about 12,412 shows in India and collected ₹51 crore net on its opening day. Ram Charan's fan base, as well as the film's story, music and star cast, attracted so many people as the big opening showed the movie's popularity, which was the best among all of the popular films in India.
While box office numbers typically decrease on weekdays, Peddi maintained strong momentum on Friday, its second day in theatres. The movie was played in 10,113 places across the country, and it was recorded at 32.8 per cent occupancy. Despite the typical slowdown on weekdays, the film did take in ₹26.90 crore net on Day 2 and showed a lot of interest with the audience and word of mouth.
With this number, Peddi has collected a total India net collection of ₹96.40 crore in two days. In the domestic market, its gross collection is ₹114.49 crore, and so the movie has a lot more chances to enter some top box office clubs.
The film is not restricted to India. Peddi is also popular in the world, and international audiences have also taken an interest in it, with Peddi getting more worldwide success and will be able to take its international audience as well. It made ₹8 crore on its second day in overseas markets, and as a result of this, it earned ₹36 crore overseas revenue in total. This great international success of Ram Charan shows that the movie is becoming popular worldwide, and Telugu cinema is growing in popularity in India.
Peddi has earned ₹150.49 crore worldwide in 2 days (in the domestic and overseas industry). This is one of the fastest-grossing Indian movies of this generation and a testimony to the immense hype that went into its launch.
The industry expects the film to deliver a much stronger performance over the weekend as well, industry experts say. Peddi has to be able to stand out in the marketplace, and its worldwide success will see it go over ₹200 crore in the coming days. Positive audience reactions, good bookings and the star power of its cast will propel it to a higher level of sales, and the revenue will certainly help.
All eyes will be on Peddi and what it does at the box office over the weekend. If the momentum continues, the Ram Charan-starrer could be one of the biggest commercial successes of 2026 and set new benchmarks for Telugu cinema.
