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.

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 Day 13 Box Office: Movie Enters All-Time Top 10 APTG Gross List and Will Surpass They Call Him OG Today to Reach 8th Position

BY SACNILK

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 Day 12 Box Office: Set to Become 6th Fastest Telugu Film to Hit 200 Cr Telugu Net Milestone Today, Surpassing Devara

BY SACNILK

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.

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.

Deool Band 2 Day 26 BoxOffice : Film earns 68.72 crore net needing over 2 crore to beat Raja Shivaji's Marathi net

BY SACNILK

Deool Band 2 is currently in its fourth week of release and continues to show impressive longevity at the box office. On its 26th day, which fell on a Monday, the film saw a typical weekday dip, recording an India net collection of 0.50 crore. This represents a 72.2% drop from Sunday's 1.80 crore. With 879 shows running on Monday, the film has brought its total India net collection to 68.72 crore, with the total India gross reaching 80.75 crore. The film's performance is particularly noteworthy when we look at the all-time rankings in Marathi cinema. Deool Band 2 is currently chasing a major milestone: becoming the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time in terms of net collections. It is currently just over 2 crore away from overtaking the Marathi net of Raja Shivaji, which stands at 70.98 crore. While Raja Shivaji had a much higher total across all languages and global markets due to its multi-language release, Deool Band 2 is competing purely on its Marathi strength. Surpassing Raja Shivaji's worldwide total of 117.92 crore is out of reach, but the Marathi net record is well within its grasp.

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

BY SACNILK

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.

Shahid Kapoor's Cocktail 2 Gets A Certificate; 150-Minute Sequel Sets Kriti Sanon Milestone Selling 10,146 Opening Tickets

BY SACNILK

The upcoming cinematic window is looking particularly packed as we approach some of the most talked-about releases of the season. At the center of this excitement is Cocktail 2, a project that has caught everyone's attention by pairing Shahid Kapoor with two of the most successful leading ladies today, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. While sequels often carry the burden of expectation, this one is making headlines for reasons that go far beyond just its franchise name. With its scheduled release on June 19, the conversation around the film has shifted from its chart-topping soundtrack to its surprisingly bold stance with the censors. In a surprising development, the Central Board of Film Certification has cleared Cocktail 2 with an Adults Only certificate. This rating suggests that the sequel might explore much more mature themes compared to its predecessor. Along with the rating, the official runtime has been locked at 150 minutes, which translates to exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes. This makes the sequel a slightly longer experience than the original 2012 film, which clocked in at 146 minutes and carried a more family-friendly U/A certificate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This certification marks a historic moment for the lead cast, particularly for Kriti Sanon. After spending twelve years in the industry, this is the first time one of her films has received an A rating. For Rashmika Mandanna, this will be her second encounter with an adult-rated Hindi film following the massive success of Animal in 2023. Shahid Kapoor, however, is no stranger to this territory. Cocktail 2 stands as the fifth adult-rated project of his career, joining a list of gritty and intense films like Kaminey, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh, and his most recent release, O'Romeo. The decision to go with a more mature tone is an interesting shift for the franchise. The first installment was a romantic drama directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. While the original team of Adajania and Maddock Films returns for the sequel, the shift from a U/A rating to an A rating, combined with the slightly longer runtime, indicates that they are aiming for a different narrative depth this time around. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The latest advance booking reports for the opening day are providing a more detailed look at the initial demand for the film. As of Monday, the Hindi 2D version has already generated 40.89 lakh in gross collections, excluding block seats. This amount has been gathered from 3,717 scheduled shows, with a total of 10,146 tickets already sold to eager fans. If we include the block seats, the overall gross figure reaches a much more substantial 1.73 crore. With the average ticket price currently set at 270 rupees, the strategy seems focused on capturing the premium multiplex crowd. These early statistics suggest a solid start, especially considering there are still several full days of booking left before the first show begins. Looking at the initial response from the audience, advance bookings opened at midnight on June 14, and the early numbers are encouraging. As of June 15 morning, the film has already sold approximately 6,950 tickets on BookMyShow. The momentum seems to be building steadily as fans look forward to the chemistry between the lead stars and the youthful vibe the film promises to deliver. When we dive into the data from national cinema chains, the early performance is quite visible. As of June 15 afternoon , the major chains have cumulatively sold about 7,680 tickets, resulting in a gross collection of 33.55 lakh. Breaking this down, PVR leads the way with 4,460 tickets, followed by INOX with 2,700 and Cinepolis with 520 tickets. While these numbers represent the very start of the booking cycle, they show that the urban audience is already showing an active interest. With the release date approaching, these figures are expected to see a significant spike, especially as the promotional campaign enters its final phase. The combination of a well-loved franchise name and a fresh, star-studded cast has created a strong foundation for the film. While the A certificate might limit its audience slightly compared to a U/A release, the youthful appeal and the curiosity surrounding the mature content could very well work in its favor. As it stands, Cocktail 2 is positioning itself as a major contender for the mid-year box office crown.

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.

Peddi Day 10 Box Office: Film Officially Joins the 200 Crore India Net Club; Ranks 9th Fastest in History

BY SACNILK

Peddi has reached the 200 crore India net mark on its tenth day of theatrical release. The film maintained a steady pace throughout its first week and is now seeing a logical increase in collections as it enters its second Saturday. Reaching this domestic milestone in ten days confirms its position as a significant contributor to the 200 crore club for the current year, even as it continues to balance its massive production scale with real-time footfalls in various regions. The Saturday growth is quite evident when you look at the real-time ticket booking trends. Between 1 PM and 2 PM today, the film sold 10,140 tickets on BookMyShow, which is nearly double the 5,160 tickets sold during the same hour yesterday. Similarly, the cumulative sales from 7 AM to 2 PM stand at 47,820 tickets today compared to 24,850 tickets on Friday. These numbers indicate a healthy weekend jump of nearly 92%. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of the afternoon reports for Day 10, Peddi is running across 1,779 tracked shows and has already collected a live net of 1.87 crore. This pushes the total India net collection to 200.57 crore and the cumulative India gross to 238.19 crore. By crossing this mark, the film has also strengthened its lead over the lifetime domestic gross of They Call Him OG, which concluded its run at 229.97 crore. The focus now shifts toward how much further it can push during the rest of the weekend. In terms of historical speed, Peddi has secured the ninth position among the fastest Telugu films to reach the 200 crore net milestone. While the top spots are dominated by massive event films that crossed the mark within the first three days, Peddi reaching this figure in ten days puts it ahead of several other major hits. Here is the list of the fastest Tollywood films to achieve this feat, arranged by the number of days taken: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) RRR (2022) – 2 Days Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024) – 2 Days Saaho (2019) – 3 Days Adipurush (2023) – 3 Days Salaar: Cease Fire - Part 1 (2023) – 3 Days Kalki 2898 AD (2024) – 3 Days Baahubali 2 The Conclusion (2017) – 6 Days Devara: Part 1 (2024) – 6 Days Peddi (2026) – 10 Days Pushpa: The Rise (2021) – 16 Days Looking ahead, the international market is also nearing a significant record. In North America, the film is currently chasing the 3.48 million dollar lifetime gross of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. With the domestic net milestone now secured, the next major objective will be surpassing the 300 crore worldwide gross mark, which is expected to happen before the end of the second weekend. The current trend suggests that the film is well-positioned to maintain its steady run for several more days.
