Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s much‑anticipated film Peddi has stormed the box‑office, clocking a staggering Rs 112.49 crore worldwide on its very first day—a career‑high opening for the RRR star. The Telugu‑language sports‑action drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, opened to glowing reviews after its Wednesday night premiere and quickly translated that buzz into ticket sales. In India alone, Peddi raked in Rs 82.49 crore, with a net collection of Rs 69.50 crore, meaning roughly 73 percent of its total haul came from domestic audiences. The Telugu heartlands were especially generous, delivering a Rs 51 crore net, while the Hindi‑dubbed version managed a modest Rs 3 crore across North India. Overseas, the film proved its global appeal, pulling in more than $1.5 million from North American premiere screenings and adding a Rs 30 crore overseas gross to the tally. This makes Peddi the 11th Telugu film ever to cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark on day one, reaffirming Ram Charan’s box‑office clout after the lukewarm response to Game Changer and Acharya. Regional markets like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala contributed modestly, but the sheer scale of the opening has already placed Peddi among the biggest openers in Tollywood history. Fans and critics alike are now watching closely to see if the momentum can be sustained, but for now, Peddi’s debut is a spectacular reminder of the star power that drives Indian cinema’s biggest days.
