Superstar Ram Charan has made a thunderous start at the box office with Peddi, as the sports action drama has grossed over ₹100 crore worldwide on its opening day.
The film has emerged as one of the biggest openers in Telugu cinema history and has become the 11th Telugu film to achieve the coveted ₹100 crore worldwide opening-day milestone.
Strong Momentum From Premieres
According to early estimates, Peddi earned more than ₹80 crore gross in India on its first day, with the Telugu states contributing around ₹67 crore, including premieres.
The film witnessed exceptional occupancy across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while Karnataka and other markets also added strongly to the overall tally.
Overseas territories contributed another ₹28-30 crore gross, taking the film’s worldwide opening-day collection to around ₹110 crore.
The strong international performance was led by North America, where the film received an excellent response during premieres and on Day 1.
The massive opening was helped by the film’s stellar premiere performance.
Peddi had already grossed around ₹40 crore worldwide from preview shows, including approximately ₹18.50 crore from the Telugu states and ₹3.10 crore from Karnataka.
The film also recorded more than $1.5 million in North America from premiere screenings alone, indicating strong demand ahead of its official release.
11th Telugu Film To Cross ₹100 Crore On Opening Day
With its massive first-day haul, Peddi has entered an exclusive league of Telugu blockbusters that crossed ₹100 crore worldwide on the opening day.
Since Baahubali 2 became the first Indian film to record a ₹100 crore-plus opening, a total of 11 Telugu films, including Peddi, have achieved the feat.
The achievement highlights Ram Charan’s box-office pull and marks one of the biggest openings of his career.
The result is particularly significant for the actor as it comes after the disappointing theatrical performance of Game Changer, reaffirming his status as one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars.
The initial word of mouth for Peddi appears to be positive. With a worldwide opening of around ₹110 crore, the film has laid a solid foundation for a huge opening weekend.
The coming days will determine how far Peddi can capitalise on its extraordinary start and move towards its long-term box-office goals.
