Peddi Box Office Collection Day 6 Live Update: Ram Charan Film Hits 250 Crore Worldwide; Hits 200 Crore India Gross

Superstar Ram Charan's latest release, Peddi, is currently moving through its first week at the box office. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana in his second outing after Uppena, the film stars Charan as a spirited villager who uses sports to bring his community together, with Janhvi Kapoor playing the lead female role. While there was plenty of interest in the project following the actor's previous success, the actual box office trend is showing a more measured pace as it transitions into the working week. Live Now After a solid opening weekend, Peddi has a good hold domestically on Monday, with early estimates suggesting around 14 crores gross collection. On Monday, it crossed 200 crores in India and became Ram Charan's second film after RRR to achieve the feat. Worldwide, the film has touched the 250 Crore mark, emerging as the actor's second highest-grossing film. While reaching this figure quickly is a notable benchmark for any major production, the momentum will need to remain very consistent to meet the high stakes involved with a project of this scale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is currently drawing a loyal audience in its primary markets, though its ability to sustain this across the upcoming weekdays will be the real test of its theatrical life. Examining the Monday data, the film earned approximately 14 Crore gross in India on its fifth day, which is around 55% per cent drop from the Friday earnings of 31.50 Crore. For a film occupying 8,000 shows nationwide, this growth is stable but perhaps less aggressive than what the initial buzz might have suggested. It indicates that while the core fan base is turning up, the broader mass appeal is still being established in several regions. To provide a clearer picture of the domestic performance, the total India gross collection now stands at around 169.75 Crore. When factoring in the gross amounts, the total India gross reaches 202 Crore. The Telugu market remains the primary driver of these numbers, while the contributions from other language versions are providing a necessary but slower build-up to the overall total. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The international performance adds another layer to the analysis. On its fifth day, the film brought in an estimated 1 Crore from overseas markets, taking the total international gross to 47 Crore so far. This brings the worldwide gross collection for Peddi to 249 Crore. The overseas performance of the film is concerning as it is showing very faded momentum after the good opening day. On the contrary to international business, the domestic numbers are somehow good and driving the overall biz LIVE BLOG 10.00 PM (IST) 09 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 6 Live Update: Crosses 11 Crore Gross Peddi has crossed an estimated 11+ crore gross on its first Tuesday, which is a solid hold again.

Worldwide collection has reached around 260 crores gross. 5.00 PM (IST) 09 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 6 Live Update: Crosses 5 Crore Gross Peddi has crossed 5 crore gross and is heading for another double-digit day at the Indian box office.

It is holding well at home turf, which is a good sign for the long run. The total net collection hits 173 crores. 12.00 PM (IST) 09 JUN 2026 Peddi Hits $3 Million In North America In 6 Days; Sets Major Record For Ram Charan With Tuesday's advance bookings, Peddi has officially touched the $3 million mark in the North American market within just 6 days of its release. This achievement marks Ram Charan's third film to enter the $3M club, following the success of OG and MSVP. Notably, all three Tier-1 films to reach this milestone in the 2025-2026 period belong to the Mega Family, further establishing their strong box office pull in overseas circuits. 11:30 AM (IST) 09 JUN 2026 Allu Arjun Reviews Peddi; Calls Ram Charan's Performence Mind-Blowing Watched #Peddi last night.

Hrithik Roshan To Play A Massive Cameo In Rajinikanth's Jailer 2

Mumbai, June 11 - One of the biggest crossover moments in Indian cinema is reportedly set to become a reality. According to the latest reports, the much-discussed cameo in Rajinikanth's highly anticipated action entertainer Jailer 2 has now been finalised, and it is not Shah Rukh Khan's or Aamir Khan's, but of Hrithik Roshan, with the actor reportedly agreeing to come on board. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Variety India, the development comes after weeks of speculation regarding a major Bollywood superstar making a special appearance in Nelson Dilipkumar's sequel. It is said that Hrithik has agreed to play a powerful character in the film, and the makers have already locked the shooting dates for his portions. The War actor will shoot for his sequence on June 22 and June 23 in Chennai. Unlike a brief guest appearance, the role is said to be a substantial cameo designed to have a significant impact on the narrative. The team is reportedly planning a grand introduction sequence for the Bollywood superstar, making it one of the film's biggest highlights. Reports earlier indicated that Shah Rukh Khan was being considered for the same role. However, scheduling conflicts and commitments to his upcoming projects reportedly prevented the collaboration from materialising. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The makers then turned their attention to Hrithik Roshan, whose presence is expected to add further pan-India appeal to the already star-studded sequel. Jailer 2 has generated massive buzz ever since production began, with Rajinikanth returning as the iconic Muthuvel Pandian. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and backed by Sun Pictures, the sequel is expected to feature several surprise appearances and large-scale action sequences. Reports also suggest that additional shooting schedules are being planned to accommodate key cameo portions and elevate the film's scale even further. While the cameo is yet to be confirmed officially, Jailer 2 will mark the first on-screen collaboration between Rajinikanth and Hrithik Roshan in their adult careers. Produced by Sun Pictures, the film is expected to release this September.

Cocktail 2, Alpha, Welcome To The Jungle And More: Bollywood's Crucial One Month Summer Window Begins

Mumbai, June 11 - The Hindi film industry is entering what could be its most important theatrical phase of 2026. In less than 30 days, Bollywood will see the release of five major films with significant commercial expectations. Beginning with Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on June 12 and concluding with Dhamaal 4 on July 10, the industry will be hoping for a sustained run of box-office successes to strengthen the theatrical business during the summer season. The crucial release window kicks off with Kangana Ranaut's patriotic drama Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on June 12, which is based on the true events of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, focusing on the staff at Cama Hospital who risked their lives to save over 400 patients.

Virat Kohli Beats Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra To Become Most Valuable Celebrity of India

Mumbai, June 10 - Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli has added another remarkable achievement to his illustrious career. The former India captain has emerged as the most valuable celebrity brand in the country, surpassing some of the biggest names in Indian entertainment, including Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the Fortune India–Interbrand Most Valuable Celebrities ranking, Kohli's brand value stands at an impressive 3,542 crore, placing him at the top of the list. The ranking measures a celebrity's commercial influence based on factors such as endorsement strength, consumer appeal, cultural impact, digital presence, and overall marketability. Kohli's rise to the No. 1 position comes as no surprise given his unparalleled popularity both on and off the cricket field.

Alpha Teaser: Alia Bhatt's Spy Actioner Faces Expected Negativity, And Teaser Has Little To Do With It

Mumbai, June 10 - The teaser of Alpha, the first female-led film in YRF's Spy Universe, was finally unveiled on Wednesday, giving audiences a glimpse into the action-packed world headlined by Alia Bhatt, Sharvari Wagh, and Bobby Deol. While the teaser quickly became one of the most talked-about topics across social media platforms, it also attracted a wave of criticism from certain sections of the internet. While discussions about a major film are expected, a significant portion of the negativity directed at the teaser appears forced and intentional, which has very little to do with the teaser itself. In reality, Alpha had become a target for a section of online users long before its first footage arrived. One reason is the presence of Alia Bhatt in the lead role. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the last decade, Alia has established herself as one of Bollywood's most successful and commercially viable stars, but that hasn't saved her from online trolling and polarised opinions. Despite being hailed as one of the finest actors of this generation, she has always been under public scrutiny and online trolling, largely for being a star kid. Any major project featuring Alia inevitably attracts a vocal section of critics who are often ready with their verdict before the promotional campaign even begins. As a result, Alpha entered the conversation carrying baggage that had little to do with the film itself. The film's association with Yash Raj Films has added another layer to the scrutiny. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The YRF Spy Universe, which includes blockbuster franchises such as Tiger, Pathaan, and War, has become one of Indian cinema's most successful shared universes. At the same time, some sections of the audience have criticised certain entries for their portrayal of India-Pakistan relations, arguing that the films occasionally take a softer approach than they would prefer. However, the teaser of Alpha does not indicate that the story revolves around Pakistan or follows any of the themes that previously attracted such criticism. Despite that, the film continues to receive similar attacks, suggesting that many reactions are being driven by assumptions rather than the actual content on display. The timing of Alpha's teaser has also coincided with the excitement surrounding Dhurandhar films. Aditya Dhar's spy actioner, inspired by real events, has generated praise for its grounded tone and hard-hitting depiction of terrorism. The strong response to Dhurandhar films has further emboldened some online commentators, who are using the film as a benchmark to criticise Alpha even before its story has been revealed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Another factor often cited by industry observers is Yash Raj Films' long-standing reputation for relying more on its own marketing strategy than on widespread paid promotional campaigns across social media circles. Whether entirely accurate or not, the perception exists that YRF is less willing than some studios to engage in the increasingly common practice of paid online promotion. As a result, YRF's projects frequently face a harsher digital environment where praise is scrutinised, and criticism tends to gain greater visibility. This also raises a big question about the Bollywood industry's growing dependence on what many describe as a "pay-and-get-praise" ecosystem. While no major studio publicly acknowledges such practices, the perception has become widespread enough to influence how online reactions are interpreted.
