Dasara Emerges Actor Nani's Highest-Grosser At The Worldwide Box Office
Hyderabad, April 3 - Natural Star Nani's period action drama Dasara has lived up to its hype and emerged as a successful venture within the opening weekend itself. The movie did good business across Telugu states as well as overseas.



Directed by Srikanth Odela, Dasara has become the highest-grossing film of Nani's career as a lead hero. On the 4-day opening weekend, it grossed approx. 84 crores worldwide, surpassing MCA Middle-Class Abbayi's 70 crores approx. worldwide total in 2017.





The movie has performed brilliantly in Telugu states, grossing 55 crores, including approx. 33.50 crores share collection. The total domestic collection of the film is close to 68 crores which is the highest for the actor.





Dasara will cross the break-even target by today or max tomorrow and will emerge with a clean hit. It will also be hitting 100 crores gross collection in the opening week itself which is sensational and proved that all the anticipation and pre-release hype around the movie was true.





The movie is about three childhood friends, Dharani (Nani), Vennela (Keerthy Suresh), and Suri (Dheekshith Shetty). Set in the 90s in Telangana, the film's plot revolves around how these lives get entangled and change forever due to village politics, coal, and Silk Bar.





Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, Dasara stars Nani, Keerthy Suresh, Dheekshith Shetty, Sai Kumar, Samuthirakani, Shine Tom Chacko, and Poorna in crucial roles.

Hyderabad, June 18 - Tollywood star Venkatesh Daggubati is gearing up for an exciting lineup over the next year, with his upcoming collaborations with director Trivikram Srinivas and hitmaker Anil Ravipudi now reportedly locking their release dates. Venkatesh’s much-anticipated family entertainer with Trivikram Srinivas, tentatively titled Aadarsha Kutumbam House No. 47, is reportedly hitting theatres on October 2, 2026, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. The film has already generated strong buzz among fans, especially after reports suggested that the makers recently wrapped up the climax shoot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The project marks the first full-fledged collaboration between Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas, a combination Telugu audiences have wanted to see for years. Industry circles expect the film to blend Trivikram's trademark emotional storytelling with Venkatesh's strong family-entertainer appeal. Meanwhile, Venkatesh's next collaboration with Anil Ravipudi, tentatively titled #VenkyAnil5 or #NKRAR2, has officially been luanched with shoot is expected to begin soon. The makers have also locked its theatrical release window.

Peddi Team Includes 6 Minutes of Additional Footage In Cinemas; But Will The Gimmick Work?

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 18 - Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi is already in its second week in theatres, and the film's overall reception has been noticeably mixed despite the massive pre-release hype surrounding it. While the movie opened strongly on the back of star power and aggressive promotions, the momentum appears to have slowed after the initial weekend as audience reactions became more divided. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, considering the fading momentum at the box office, the makers have announced additional footage which will be attached to the already existing runtime from today (June 18). The movie is already nearing the end of its second week, and it has been in the unwanted controversy amid the mixed box office results. Newly inserted scenes are reportedly intended to enhance emotional depth and strengthen certain character arcs, based on audience feedback. The move once again highlights a familiar trend in Telugu cinema. Whenever a film fails to meet the industry's towering expectations, filmmakers often turn to post-release additions such as extended scenes, restored deleted footage, or modified edits in an attempt to revive audience interest. These revised versions are usually marketed as "improved cuts," creating fresh discussion around the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, past results show that such gimmicks rarely make any significant impact on a movie's long-term box office prospects. In today's social media era, audience verdicts are formed within the first few days itself. Once word-of-mouth settles, changing public perception becomes extremely difficult. At best, additional footage may generate temporary curiosity among hardcore fans, but it seldom changes the overall theatrical fate of a film. In the case of Peddi, the six added minutes may slightly improve the viewing experience for audiences still watching the film in theatres. But expecting the additional runtime to dramatically alter the film's commercial trajectory may be unrealistic. Ultimately, a film's success depends on strong storytelling and emotional connection — not on post-release patchwork designed to manage perception after the first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has already grossed around 320 crores worldwide in 14 days, which is otherwise a decent performance, thanks to a good performance in the Telugu states. However, the film needs to score way more than this worldwide to emerge as a clean box office hit, which is looking tough at this moment. After the initial rush, the box office momentum is slowing down, and if the additional footage also fails to improve buzz, the movie may be heading to an average affair.

Peddi Box Office: Overtakes Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu in North America; Becomes Highest Telugu Grosser of 2026

BY SACNILK

While Peddi has managed to cross the $3.4 million mark in North America after 13 days, the numbers tell a story of underperformance when placed against its high stakes. On the surface, surpassing the $3.38 million lifetime gross of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and becoming the top Telugu grosser of 2026 in this territory looks like a milestone. However, when we look at the actual economics, the film is struggling to justify its massive pre-release valuation in the overseas market. The North America breakeven target for this Ram Charan starrer was set at a staggering $6.5 million, which is roughly ₹62.22 crore. This was the highest target ever set for his solo lead films in this region, setting a very high bar for success. With the film currently trending toward an expected closing gross of approximately $3.50 million, it is clear that Peddi will fall significantly short of its recovery goal. Despite the top-ranking status for the current year, the wide gap between the target and the actual collection marks the film as a box office failure in the overseas circuit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The films current performance has allowed it to overtake the lifetime collections of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which earned $3.38 million in the region. Reaching this total in less than two weeks shows a strong connection with the NRI audience and reflects the steady interest the film has maintained since its release. It is currently sitting at $3.42 million and is continuing to add to its tally as it nears the end of its second week. When looking at the all-time list of Telugu grossers in this market, Peddi has now entered the top tier. It is currently placed at the 12th spot, having moved past films like Bharat Ane Nenu and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The film is now chasing the numbers set by Rangasthalam, which is the next target on the list.

Peddi Box Office: Becomes the 9th movie to achieve the 200 Crore Telugu Net milestone

BY SACNILK

Peddi is heading toward the end of its second week at the box office. On its fourteenth day, the film collected a gross of ₹2.83 crore across India. When we look at the previous day, where it earned ₹3.96 crore gross, there is a clear downward movement as the film nears the end of its second week. Most of the revenue continues to come from the Telugu states, but the drop indicates that the initial frenzy is now stabilizing into a steady run. Breaking down the state-wise gross for Day 14, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions contributed ₹2.10 crore. Other territories followed with Karnataka at ₹0.25 crore, Tamil Nadu at ₹0.08 crore, and the Rest of India bringing in ₹0.40 crore. Comparing these to Day 13, where APTG stood at ₹2.80 crore and the Rest of India was at ₹0.71 crore, it is evident that the Hindi and other language markets are seeing a steeper decline than the home market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of screen presence and viewer interest, Peddi held approximately 3,800 shows across India on Wednesday with an overall occupancy of 17 percent. In major hubs like Hyderabad, the Telugu version maintained a decent 17.3 percent occupancy from 379 shows. Meanwhile, the Hindi version in the National Capital Region saw 9.8 percent occupancy across 89 shows, and Surat recorded a lower 3.8 percent. These numbers reflect a film that is performing well in its primary market while finding it tougher to sustain momentum in the North. The total India net collection of ₹226 crore shows a heavy reliance on the Telugu version, which has contributed ₹200.48 crore. The Hindi dub has performed decently with ₹21.57 crore so far. Contributions from other languages include ₹1.96 crore from the Tamil version, ₹1.69 crore from Kannada, and ₹0.30 crore from Malayalam. These figures clarify that while the film has made an impact across multiple markets, its core strength remains the Telugu audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The ticket sales on BookMyShow also tell a similar story. After selling 43.03K tickets on its second Tuesday, the count moved to 27.71K on the second Wednesday. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to 3,709,770. This consistent interest has helped the film cross a significant milestone in its home language, officially entering the 200 crore net club in Telugu alone. Looking at the performance in national multiplex chains, Peddi sold nearly 2,800 tickets across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis on Wednesday. This resulted in a total gross of approximately ₹7 lakh from 780 shows. Among the chains, INOX contributed the most with 1,400 tickets sold and a gross of ₹3 lakh. PVR and Cinepolis followed with 770 and 660 tickets respectively, each adding about ₹2 lakh to the tally. With an overall occupancy of 2 percent in these urban centers, it is clear that the films current momentum is largely driven by single screens and regional circuits. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, the film added ₹0.25 crore on Day 14. According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America total has reached $3.42 million after a $66K Tuesday. Based on early estimates, the total overseas gross now stands at ₹52.45 crore. When combined with the India gross of ₹268 crore, the worldwide gross collection for Peddi reaches an estimated ₹320 crore, while the total India net collection currently sits at ₹226 crore.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Maa Inti Bangaaram Tops $150K Advance Booking In North America

BY SACNILK

Los Angeles, June 17 - Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is once again proving her box office strength as her much-awaited comeback film Maa Inti Bangaaram is roaring in the advance booking in North America. The action comedy has crossed the $150K mark in pre-sales collection across North America ahead of its theatrical release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has reportedly sold tickets worth over $150,000 in the region, reflecting strong pre-release buzz and Samantha’s solid overseas fan following. The advance booking trend has created positive momentum for the Telugu drama, making it one of the most anticipated Indian releases in North America this week. Directed by BV Nandini Reddy, Maa Inti Bangaaram marks Samantha's return to the big screen after a brief break from acting. The film has already generated significant curiosity among audiences due to its promotional material and reports surrounding Samantha's action-driven role. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade analysts believe the film could target an opening weekend close to $1 million in North America if early audience reports turn positive. Additionally, industry insiders feel the lifetime collection could stretch toward the $2 million mark with sustained word of mouth, which would be a major achievement for a female-led Telugu film overseas. The strong pre-sales numbers also underline Samantha's consistent popularity despite changing market trends in Telugu cinema. Films like Oh Baby and Yashoda previously showcased her ability to headline content-driven projects successfully, and Maa Inti Bangaaram appears to be continuing that trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from the overseas response, the film is also witnessing encouraging bookings in Telugu states, with several early shows reportedly filling up quickly. The combination of Samantha's star power, positive pre-release buzz, and audience curiosity has significantly boosted expectations surrounding the project. Maa Inti Bangaaram is scheduled for release on June 19, 2026.

Peddi Overseas Box Office: Inches From All-Time Top 10 Milestone But Over A 25 Crore Loss Looms Large

BY SACNILK

Peddi has reached an overseas gross of 52.20 crore after thirteen days in theaters. This total puts the film within reach of the all-time top ten list for Telugu cinema in international markets. Currently, Hanu-Man occupies the tenth spot with 57 crore, meaning Peddi requires a little under 5 crore to surpass that mark and enter the rankings. While the film is approaching this milestone, the current daily numbers suggest it will take some time to bridge the remaining gap. Here is how the top ten list currently looks for the highest-grossing Telugu movies overseas: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 371.16 Cr RRR - 314.15 Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 275.00 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 271.00 Cr Baahubali: The Beginning - 134.00 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 130.00 Cr Saaho - 92.00 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 77.00 Cr They Call Him OG - 65.25 Cr Hanu-Man - 57.00 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite being close to the top ten, the financial outlook for the film is quite complicated. According to reports from Venky Box Office, the film recorded 13,000 dollars [~₹11 Lakh] this past Monday in North America, bringing its total in that region to 3.35 million dollars [~₹28.14 Crore]. The trade perspective on this is quite sobering; the closing number is likely to settle near what was originally expected from the opening day alone. It is a significant shock for the industry, especially considering the initial high expectations, and it suggests a need for a market correction regarding the buying prices of overseas rights. The total overseas breakeven target for Peddi was estimated to be around 85 crore. With the current momentum, it appears the film will end its run with a loss of approximately 25 to 30 crore. The North American market alone had a breakeven goal of 6.5 million dollars [~₹54.60 Crore] across all languages, but reaching that target seems highly unlikely at the current daily pace. This gap between the target and the actual performance highlights the challenges big-budget projects face in sustaining interest beyond the first weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we examine the day-wise overseas collections, the slowing momentum becomes very clear. The film had a strong start with 28 crore on its first day, but the numbers began to drop significantly after the first weekend. For the last few days, the daily collection has settled into the range of 0.35 crore. You can see the daily progression in the table below: Peddi - Daily Overseas Gross Collection(Estimated Data)DAYOVERSEAS GROSSDay 1₹ 28.00 CrDay 2₹ 6.00 CrDay 3₹ 8.00 CrDay 4₹ 4.00 CrDay 5₹ 1.00 CrDay 6₹ 1.00 CrDay 7₹ 0.80 CrDay 8₹ 0.70 CrDay 9₹ 0.50 CrDay 10₹ 0.80 CrDay 11₹ 0.70 CrDay 12₹ 0.35 CrDay 13₹ 0.35 Cr While the goal of entering the top ten is within reach, the underlying business reality is that the film is underperforming relative to its high acquisition costs. The next few days will determine if it can cross the 57 crore mark to secure its place in the all-time list, even if it does so as a loss-making venture for its distributors.

Peddi, On its thirteenth day, recorded a gross collection of 3.96 crore across India. When we compare this to the 4.73 crore gross it earned on Monday, it indicates a drop of roughly 16.2 percent. However, we are starting to see the momentum visibly slow down now. While a drop on a working Tuesday is expected, this cooling trend suggests the long-term legs of the film might be under pressure, which isn't the best sign for its extended theatrical run.It is also clear that the movie is maintaining a steady grip on the domestic market without any sudden collapse in numbers. If we look into the language-wise performance, the Telugu version remains the primary driver. It contributed 2.75 crore on day 13 with an occupancy rate of 23 percent. Meanwhile, the Hindi version brought in 0.60 crore. Interestingly, the occupancy in certain regions tells a localized story. While Hyderabad saw nearly 20 percent occupancy across 404 shows, Vizag-Visakhapatnam stood out with a much stronger 38.8 percent. Even the National Capital Region for the Hindi version held up well with 21.5 percent occupancy, showing that the film still has a pulse in major urban centers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the gross figures, the day 13 gross stands at 3.96 crore. The lion's share came from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with 2.80 crore. Karnataka added 0.35 crore, while the rest of India contributed 0.71 crore. This brings the total India gross to 264.92 crore. On the net side, the total domestic collection has reached 223.55 crore after two weeks of theatrical run across over 91,000 shows. One of the biggest achievements for Peddi is its climb up the all-time charts in the Telugu states. With a total gross of 201.45 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film has officially broken into the top ten list. It has surpassed Sankranthiki Vasthunam to take the ninth spot. Here is a look at how the leaderboard currently stands for the highest-grossing films in that region: RRR - 406.82 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 330.63 Cr Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 327+ Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 277.70 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 225.80 Cr Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu - 225.02 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 215.20 Cr They Call Him OG - 201.50 Cr Peddi - 201.45 Cr Sankranthiki Vasthunam - 196.44 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the global front, early estimates for overseas collections on day 13 sit at around 0.35 crore. This brings the total overseas gross to 52.20 crore. When we combine the final domestic gross with these early international estimates, the worldwide gross for Peddi reaches approximately 317.12 crore. This total is supported by massive audience engagement, with BookMyShow reporting over 43,000 tickets sold on Tuesday alone, bringing the platform’s total to over 3.68 million tickets since its release. If we look specifically at the performance within national chains for day 13, the numbers show a settling trend. In PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, the film sold a total of 5,100 tickets, generating a gross of 8.55 lakh. PVR led this segment with 2,232 tickets, followed closely by Inox with 2,112. The overall occupancy in these chains stood at 3.40 percent across 745 shows. While these figures represent the standard cooling of a big-budget project in its second week, they emphasize that the majority of the film's weight is being carried by single screens and regional circuits rather than the major urban chains.

Peddi has entered its second Monday with expected stability, following a strong performance over its second weekend. The film earned a gross collection of ₹4.73 crore on Day 12, marking a 55.8% drop from the previous day's gross collection of ₹10.70 crore. This is a standard trend for big-ticket films on a second Monday after a heavy weekend run. With 4,164 shows currently running across India, the film has reached a total India gross collection of ₹260.96 crore and a net collection of ₹220.10 crore. The state-wise gross breakdown for the day shows that the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions remain the backbone of the film success, contributing ₹3.35 crore. Karnataka saw a gross of ₹0.55 crore, while Tamil Nadu brought in ₹0.10 crore. Other parts of the country, categorized as the rest of India, accounted for a gross of ₹0.73 crore. Within this segment, the Hindi version managed a net collection of just ₹0.60 crore on its 12th day. It is quite evident that the Hindi version is underperforming, and the occupancy data reflects this struggle in the northern belt. For instance, in the National Capital Region, the film saw an overall occupancy of 11.8 percent across 100 shows. Other major cities like Ahmedabad and Surat also saw low engagement, with overall occupancies of 13 percent and 6.8 percent respectively. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, early estimates suggest that the film collected approximately ₹0.35 crore overseas on its 12th day, taking the total overseas gross to around ₹51.85 crore.

The Telugu version of the film is performing exceptionally well and is very close to hitting the ₹200 crore net mark. As of Day 12, the Telugu net stands at ₹195.70 crore. Based on the current momentum, it is likely to cross this milestone by the end of today.

Top 5 Box Office Weekend Grossers (June 12-14): Haunted 3D and Obsession Emerge Winners As Ram Charan's Peddi Sees A Drop

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 15 - The Indian box office witnessed a competitive weekend from June 12 to 14, with a mix of holdover releases and new arrivals attracting audiences across the country. While Ram Charan's Peddi comfortably retained the top position, the biggest success stories of the weekend were Obsession and Haunted 3D, both of which delivered impressive numbers and continued the recent dominance of horror films at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi emerged as the highest-grossing film of the weekend, collecting an estimated 26.30 crore during the three days. Although the film experienced a noticeable drop from its opening weekend, it continued to attract audiences in Telugu states and remained the top choice among moviegoers. The sports-action drama has already established itself as one of the year's biggest box office successes and is continuing its run despite growing competition. Hollywood horror thriller Obsession secured the second spot with an excellent 17.70 crore weekend. The film once again demonstrated extraordinary staying power, registering strong occupancy across major urban centres. The horror title has become one of the biggest surprise successes of the year in India and is steadily moving toward the 100 crore milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the new releases, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past delivered the strongest performance. The horror sequel collected approximately 11 crore over its opening weekend and emerged as the best-performing newcomer. The interest in the horror genre helped the film overcome limited screen presence and establish itself as a successful theatrical release. Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai put up a decent performance in the second weekend, though the overall collection is still underwhelming. Rounding out the top five was Steven Spielberg's sci-fi Hollywood thriller Disclosure Day.

Peddi Becomes No. 1 Highest-Selling South Indian Film Of 2026; Needs 1.13 Million Tickets To Beat HanuMan For Top 5 Spot

Peddi has reached a significant milestone by officially crossing the 200 crore net mark in India at the end of its eleventh day. While this looks impressive on paper, the film is currently navigating a tricky path at the box office. For a project mounted on such a massive scale, the performance is leaning toward underperforming, especially as it struggles to maintain high-level momentum outside its core territories. As of Day 11, the total India net collection stands at 216.00 crore. The films trajectory on BookMyShow offers some interesting insights into its audience engagement. Since the era of hourly trending data began on the platform, Peddi has now moved up to become the 7th best-selling Telugu movie of all time. By reaching a total of 3.59 million tickets sold over its first eleven days, it has successfully overtaken the lifetime sales of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which stood at 3.59 million. To give you a better sense of where the film stands among the biggest heavyweights at the end of their respective second weekends, here is the breakdown: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 Telugu Movies - BMS Ticket Sales RANKMOVIE NAMETICKETS SOLD (BMS)1Pushpa 220.21 M2Kalki 2898 AD13.14 M3Salaar7.17 M4Devara4.80 M5Hanuman4.72 M6Mana ShankaraVaraPrasad Garu3.82M6Peddi3.59M Moving into the critical Monday test, the early trends on BookMyShow give us a clear look at the current momentum.

This follows a second weekend that saw a peak of 157,040 tickets on Sunday, after steady performances on Friday and Saturday. These morning numbers are a standard reflection of the weekday transition, showing a natural dip as the working week kicks off. In conclusion, Peddi has officially emerged as the number one highest-selling South Indian film of 2026. This milestone cements its position at the top of the yearly charts, reflecting its strong appeal across the regional markets. While its journey continues to be monitored through the weekdays, it currently stands as the definitive commercial leader for Tollywood this year so far.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan's Sports Action Drama Beats Karuppu To Become Highest-Grossing South Indian Film of 2026

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 15 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi continues its decent run, and in this process, it has achieved a notable milestone at the worldwide box office by overtaking Tamil blockbuster Karuppu to emerge as the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi opened to strong numbers in the Telugu states and delivered a solid first weekend. However, the film has experienced a noticeable slowdown on weekdays, especially outside Telugu states, resulting in a decent rather than blockbuster theatrical run so far. In 11 days so far, Peddi has grossed 308 crores worldwide, and by the time of penning this piece, it has outgrossed Karuppu (308+ crore) to become the biggest South Indian grosser of the year. While the collections have remained steady enough to cross the 300 crore mark and Karuppu's running total, the film is still some distance away from achieving the larger milestones that many had initially projected. Despite the moderate trend after the opening weekend, Peddi deserves credit for becoming the year's top-grossing South Indian release and delivering much better numbers than Ram Charan's disastrous Game Changer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi benefited from Ram Charan's star power, positive audience reception in its core markets, and the lack of major competition during its first week. These factors helped it edge past Karuppu and claim the top spot among South Indian films released in 2026 (so far). The achievement is significant for Ram Charan, who adds a decent performer to his filmography after back-to-back box office duds, in the form of Game Changer and Acharya (extended role). However, Peddi's journey is far from over. With a reported break-even target considerably higher than its current worldwide total, the film will need to maintain a respectable hold in the coming days to improve its theatrical outcome. For now, Peddi can celebrate an important record. By crossing the 308 crore worldwide mark and overtaking Karuppu, the sports action entertainer has officially become the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026, even if its overall box-office trajectory has been steadier than spectacular.

Peddi 2nd Weekend Gross Rs. 26.28 Cr; Needs Over 43 Crore To Enter Top 10 Highest Grossing Telugu Films Of All Time

BY SACNILK

Peddi has completed its second weekend at the box office, and the numbers bring a mix of milestones and reality checks. While the film has officially crossed the 200 crore net mark in India, the overall trajectory suggests it is underperforming relative to its massive scale and high expectations. As of the end of Day 11, the film stands at a total India net collection of 216.00 crore. Peddi wrapped up its second weekend by bringing in a gross of 10.70 crore on Day 11. This marks a 12 percent increase over Saturday gross of 9.55 crore, confirming a steady interest from the weekend crowds. When looking at the net figures, the movie earned 9.20 crore across 4,133 shows. Occupancy also saw a visible bump, rising to 35.5 percent from Saturday 28.8 percent. While these are decent gains, for a project of this scale, the performance feels like a gradual grind rather than the explosive surge many expected. Here is the state-wise gross breakdown for the 2nd Weekend APTG: ₹19.50 Cr (Fri: ₹4.75 Cr | Sat: ₹7.00 Cr | Sun: ₹7.75 Cr) Rest of India: ₹3.13 Cr (Fri: ₹0.58 Cr | Sat: ₹1.10 Cr | Sun: ₹1.45 Cr) Karnataka: ₹3.20 Cr (Fri: ₹0.60 Cr | Sat: ₹1.30 Cr | Sun: ₹1.30 Cr) Tamil Nadu: ₹0.45 Cr (Fri: ₹0.10 Cr | Sat: ₹0.15 Cr | Sun: ₹0.20 Cr) 2nd Weekend Total Gross: ₹26.28 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The national chains, including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, contributed a total gross of 0.59 crore on Sunday from approximately 22,200 tickets sold. Specifically, PVR and INOX saw the highest activity with occupancy rates of 13.3 percent and 15.0 percent respectively, while Cinepolis stayed lower at 8.8 percent. Across the entire second weekend, over 42,300 tickets were sold through these major national chains. This cumulative effort across 800+ shows on Sunday shows that while there is an audience in the metros, the film is not quite hitting the peak numbers expected of a top-tier release. Language-wise, the Telugu version remains the primary driver, accounting for 7.80 crore of the Day 11 net total. The occupancy in the Telugu market was quite healthy at 44 percent. In contrast, the Hindi version contributed 1.20 crore with 23 percent occupancy, followed by smaller contributions from the Kannada and Tamil versions. This highlights the film's heavy reliance on its home territory for survival. In terms of regional occupancy for the Telugu version, Vizag was the standout performer on Sunday with a massive 74.3 percent occupancy across 132 shows. Vijayawada followed with 57.0 percent, while the capital city Hyderabad maintained a solid 48.5 percent. However, the performance in Bengaluru was notably lower at 24.0 percent, suggesting that the film's appeal is currently concentrated in specific pockets rather than being a pan-South success. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Earlier in the weekend, Day 10 had shown a strong recovery with a 57.3 percent growth over Friday's dip. Friday, Day 9, had seen a net collection of 5.15 crore, which was an 18.3 percent drop from the previous day. While the weekend recovery was necessary, the lack of a massive breakout on Sunday indicates that the film is settling into a steady but not record-breaking pace. Peddi has reached a total India gross of 256.23 crore. On the international front, the film added 0.75 crore on Day 11, bringing its total overseas gross to 51.75 crore. When we combine these figures, the worldwide gross collection now stands at 307.98 crore.

It achieved this by surpassing the previous record held by the Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu film, which had earned 301.49 crore globally and 218.47 crore net in India. While this is a significant achievement for the year, the film still has a long road ahead to climb the all-time charts. Currently, Peddi is the 11th highest-grossing Telugu film of all time on a global scale. To break into the top 10, it needs to overtake the records set by Pushpa: The Rise, which finished its run with a worldwide gross of 350.10 crore. This means Peddi requires approximately 43 crore more in gross collections to secure that 10th spot. Given the current daily trends, reaching this milestone will depend heavily on its performance during the upcoming weekdays. On the ticketing front, BookMyShow data shows that 157,040 tickets were booked on Sunday, which was a slight increase from Saturday's 155,600 and a significant jump from Friday's 92,090. The total tickets sold on the platform for the entire run now stand at 3.59 million. This places Peddi at the 5th spot for ticket sales at the end of the second weekend among recent blockbusters, trailing behind films like Devara, which had 4.14 million, and Salaar with 6.32 million. With a total of 83,776 shows played so far, the film's journey into the third week will be the ultimate test of its legs at the box office.
