Peddi Box Office: Sports Action Drama Tops 200 Crore Worldwide And Becomes Ram Charan's Third Film To Do So

Hyderabad, June 7 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi is continuing its solid run at the box office. After a thunderous opening day, the Buchi Babu Sana directorial has crossed the 200 crore mark at the worldwide box office on its 4th day, emerging as one of the fastest Telugu films to achieve the feat.

The film had opened to an extraordinary 110 crore-plus worldwide gross on its first day, making it the second-biggest opener of Ram Charan's career after RRR. Strong collections from the Telugu states, Karnataka, North America, and other overseas markets helped the film maintain excellent momentum through its opening weekend.

Ram Charan's Third 200 Crore Grosser

With Peddi entering the 200 crore club, Ram Charan has now scored his third film to cross the milestone worldwide. The actor had previously achieved the feat with RRR and Rangasthalam. The latest success further strengthens his position among the biggest box-office stars in Telugu cinema.

What makes Peddi's performance particularly significant is that it comes after the disappointing theatrical run of Game Changer. The strong response to the sports action entertainer has helped Ram Charan bounce back in a big way, with audiences embracing his rugged and intense portrayal of the titular character.

Eyes Set On Bigger Milestones

The film's immediate target is the 300 crore worldwide mark, which now appears well within reach if it maintains a healthy hold during the weekdays. The makers are optimistic about the long-term prospects of the film, especially considering the strong reception in Telugu-speaking markets and solid overseas support.

Starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles, Peddi has emerged as one of the biggest Telugu box-office grossers of 2026 so far. The 4-day opening weekend is expected to be around 230 crores gross, but it will be important for the film to perform well in the weekdays, which will be crucial for its massive break-even target of around 500 crores gross.

Peddi Box Office: Hits 2 Million Tickets On BMS In 2.5 Days; Ties With RRR For 4th Fastest Record

BY SACNILK

Ram Charan's latest release, Peddi, has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 2 million ticket sales on BookMyShow. This mark was achieved in just 2.5 days, as the film crossed the threshold by midday on its third day. The steady pace of bookings suggests that the movie is successfully maintaining its momentum through the first weekend. This achievement places the film among the elite fast-movers in Indian cinema history. By reaching this figure in 2.5 days, Peddi has officially tied with RRR for the fourth-fastest record on the platform. The current standings for the fastest films to reach the 2 million sales mark are as follows: 1st Place: Pushpa 2: The Rule – Reached via pre-release bookings alone 2nd Place: Kalki 2898 AD – 1.5 Days 3rd Place: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion – 2 Days 4th Place: RRR and Peddi – 2.5 Days (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Securing a spot alongside legendary titles like Baahubali 2 and RRR is a huge statement for any film. The momentum started early with a robust pre-sale period that saw 874,900 tickets sold. The opening day on Thursday was explosive, adding 651,040 tickets, while Friday maintained a strong hold with another 387,780 tickets. By the early hours of Saturday, the cumulative total had reached 1,913,720, and it quickly surged past the 2 million mark shortly after. The intensity of the audience's interest is also evident in the peak hour data. Peddi recorded a peak of 47,330 tickets sold in a single hour on BookMyShow. This performance places it fourth in the all-time peak hour rankings, only trailing behind Pushpa 2, Kalki 2898 AD, and Salaar. It managed to outperform several other massive releases in this metric, showing the sheer density of demand during prime booking slots. Here is the list of the top peak hour performances on BMS: 1. Pushpa 2 - 107.65K 2. Kalki 2898 AD - 95.71K 3. Salaar - 54.76K 4. Peddi - 47.33K 5. The Raja Saab - 44.36K 6. Devara - 38.02K 7. Game Changer - 36.74K 8.#MSG - 31.6K 9.#TheyCallHimOG - 28.81K 10.#SKV - 28.02K (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we dive into the hourly trends for Saturday morning, the film is showing a very healthy trajectory. While the very early morning slots between 6 am and 9 am were slightly quieter than Friday, the numbers began to jump significantly from 9 am onwards. For instance, between 10 am and 11 am, the film sold 24,480 tickets compared to 23,870 yesterday. The 11 am to 12 pm window was even better, with 27,350 tickets sold today against 21,940 yesterday. Overall, the cumulative sales from 6 am to 12 pm today stand at 97,080, which is higher than yesterday's 92,850 for the same period. According to early trends, Peddi has had a strong start at the box office. On its second day, the film collected 26.90 crore net in India across 10,113 shows. While this represents a 47.3 percent drop from the 51.00 crore net collected on opening day, it is a standard trend for big-budget releases heading into the weekend. The total India net collection now stands at 96.40 crore, while the India gross has reached 114.49 crore. Combined with a steady overseas gross of 36.00 crore, the worldwide total gross for Peddi has touched 150.49 crore in just two days. This upward trend on Saturday suggests that the film is heading toward a massive first weekend. Crossing the 2 million mark within 72 hours is a rare feat that highlights the immense star power of Ram Charan and the strong connect the film has found with the masses. We will keep tracking these numbers closely as Peddi continues its historic run at the box office.

Hyderabad, June 6 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi had a solid hold on its second day after a massive opening despite facing criticism over certain portions of the film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the big-budget Telugu entertainer has crossed the 150 crore mark worldwide within just two days of its theatrical release, emerging as one of the biggest openers of 2026. Peddi Crosses 150 Crore Worldwide (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After a sensational opening day of over 100 crores gross, Peddi maintained a strong hold on its second day and took its worldwide gross collection to approximately 150+ crore. It crossed the 100 crore gross mark on the second day, with the Telugu-speaking states contributing the majority of its earnings. The film had opened to a massive 110.50 crore worldwide gross on day one, giving Ram Charan one of the biggest openings of his career. Despite the expected drop on the second day, the overall momentum remains strong heading into the weekend, as the film will be eyeing 275 crores 4-day opening frame globally. Buchi Babu Sana Addresses Criticism (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the box office numbers have been encouraging, Peddi has also sparked debate online over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's character Achiyyamma and certain romantic scenes involving the lead pair.

The filmmaker said that the intention was to present a playful romantic angle but acknowledged the concerns raised by viewers.

Every 100 Crore Telugu Opener Worldwide; Ram Charan's Peddi Joins Prabhas Dominated List

Hyderabad, June 5 - Superstar Ram Charan has added another major milestone to his career with Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports action drama stormed past the coveted 100 crore worldwide gross mark on its opening day, becoming the 11th Telugu film to achieve the feat. The film earned around 110 crore worldwide on Day 1, including more than 82 crore from India and approximately 28 crore from overseas markets. The 100 crores opening day achievement further cements Telugu cinema's dominance in the pan-Indian market, where event films have consistently delivered massive opening-day numbers over the last decade. What started with Baahubali 2 in 2017 has now become a benchmark for the industry's biggest releases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prabhas Continues To Rule The List One of the most striking aspects of the elite club is the overwhelming presence of Pan India superstar Prabhas. The actor headlines six of the eleven films on the list, with Baahubali 2, Saaho, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD, and The Raja Saab. No other Telugu actor, or say an Indian actor, comes close to matching that level of representation. Prabhas' consistent ability to deliver record-breaking openings across genres has made him the undisputed king of opening-day box-office records in Indian cinema. The remaining entries belong to some of the industry's biggest stars, including Ram Charan (RRR and Peddi), Jr NTR (RRR and Devara), Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2), and Pawan Kalyan (They Call Him OG).

While RRR had previously crossed the 100 crore worldwide opening-day mark, it was a multi-starrer alongside Jr NTR and backed by the massive brand value of director S. S. Rajamouli. Peddi becomes Charan's first solo-led film to enter the coveted club, proving his box office strength outside of franchise and multi-starrer setups. The opening also comes as a major boost for the actor following the disappointing theatrical performance of Game Changer earlier last year.

Peddi Becomes India's Third-Highest Premiere Grosser, Surpasses Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Pushpa 2

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is a sports-action drama headlined by Ram Charan in the titular role. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, while Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma and Jagapathi Babu play key supporting roles. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Vriddhi Cinemas and Sukumar Writings, the film arrived in theatres carrying substantial expectations following its promotional campaign, teaser launch and strong advance bookings. Set against a rural backdrop, Peddi revolves around an underdog whose journey is intertwined with sport, ambition and personal challenges, with the narrative blending action, emotion and mass-commercial elements. The strong pre-release buzz surrounding the film translated into exceptional demand for premiere shows, helping Peddi collect ₹21.83 crore and secure the third spot among the highest premiere grossers in Indian cinema history. Ram Charan's Peddi has started its theatrical run on a strong note. After recording one of the biggest premiere performances in Indian cinema history, the film followed it up with an estimated ₹51 crore net collection on its opening day, taking its total India net collection to ₹69.50 crore within just two days of release. The film's impressive start was powered by a ₹21.83 crore premiere gross, which helped Peddi secure the third spot among the highest premiere grossers in Indian cinema. The feat places the film behind only Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and They Call Him OG on the all-time list.

The film surpassed Hari Hara Veera Mallu's ₹15.05 crore premiere gross by nearly ₹7 crore and outperformed Pushpa 2: The Rule's ₹12.57 crore premiere figure by over ₹9 crore. Peddi also came within ₹3 crore of They Call Him OG, which currently occupies the second position on the all-time list. The latest ranking highlights how premiere shows have evolved into a major box office event in India. In recent years, films such as Pushpa 2: The Rule, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, They Call Him OG and now Peddi have generated substantial revenue even before the commencement of regular shows, reflecting the growing influence of advance bookings and fan-driven demand. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the five films on the list, four belong to the Telugu film industry, underlining the strength of the market when it comes to premiere and special-show business. Peddi's ₹21.83 crore premiere gross is the third-highest ever recorded by an Indian film, trailing only Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and They Call Him OG. According to early estimates, the momentum generated by Peddi's record-breaking premiere run carried into its opening day as well. The film is estimated to have collected around ₹51 crore net on Day 1, reflecting a growth of approximately 176% over its premiere-day net collection. If these estimates hold, the film's cumulative India gross collection would stand at around ₹82.49 crore, while its worldwide gross could cross ₹112 crore, including roughly ₹30 crore from overseas markets. For Ram Charan, the latest milestone adds another notable achievement to his box office record. While the film now stands among the top premiere performers in Indian cinema, its opening-day numbers suggest that the strong premiere response was not merely fan-driven frontloading but translated into substantial theatrical business as well. With Peddi already crossing ₹100 crore worldwide gross within its first two days, all eyes are now on its weekend trajectory and whether it can maintain the momentum generated by its record-setting premiere and opening-day performance.
