Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s sports action drama Peddi has been setting the box office on fire since its paid previews. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film hit theatres on June 4 and has been winning over audiences with its mass appeal and high-octane energy.
Day 1 was a blockbuster start
The much-anticipated film didn’t just open well—it exploded. Peddi crossed the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide on its very first day, setting the stage for a massive theatrical run. The paid previews had already hinted at something special, and the opening day numbers proved that the buzz was real.
The film’s grand scale, combined with Ram Charan’s star power and Janhvi’s screen presence, worked like magic. From the action sequences to the emotional beats, the audience seemed to lap it all up.
Day 2 holds strong despite a dip
On day 2, the collections saw a predictable dip, which is routine for most big releases. But here’s the kicker—Peddi still managed to overtake Kartik Aaryan’s Chandu Champion in its lifetime haul. That’s right, in just two days, Ram Charan’s film left behind a film that was considered a hit.
Industry insiders suggest that the film’s stronghold in the South and growing word-of-mouth in the North are driving these numbers. The mass audience is clearly loving the sports drama format with a desi touch.
Competition and what’s next for Peddi
With no major Hindi release competing directly this week, Peddi has a clear runway to dominate the box office. The weekend numbers will be crucial to see if the film can sustain the momentum and enter the Rs 300 crore club.
Trade analysts are already predicting that the film could emerge as one of the biggest hits of the year for Ram Charan. With Janhvi adding glamour and Buchi Babu Sana’s direction getting thumbs up, Peddi looks like it’s here to stay.
