A month after Kedarnath pilgrimage, Janhvi Kapoor prays at Tirumala

Tirumala, Dec 26 (IANS) Film actor and late actress Sridevi's elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor visited the famous hilltop shrine dedicated to Lord Venkateswara and offered prayers on Sunday.





Jahnavi, who had visited Kedarnath shrine last month with her buddy Sara Ali Khan, was among the VIPs who availed of the 'break darshan'. Clad in a half-sari and jewelry traditionally worn by South Indian girls, the young actress, with her face covered by a mask, was the cynosure of all eyes.





Accompanied by a friend, Jahnavi later received 'prasadam' and blessings from the priests at the Ranganayakulu mandap.





The Tirumala temple located in Andhra Pradesh attracts pilgrims from all over the world and is also reputed to be the world's richest Hindu temple.





Jahnavi has three films scheduled for release in 2022. She has just completed shooting for 'Good Luck Jerry', a Hindi adaptation of the 2018 Tamil film 'Kolamavu Kokila', produced by Aanand L. Rai.

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).

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 Day 1 Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer Hits 1 Million Tickets Milestone on BookMyShow

BY SACNILK

The highly anticipated rural sports drama Peddi has officially hit the theaters today, and the response at the ticket windows is proving to be massive. Marking the first collaboration between Global Star Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana, the film has already crossed a major milestone by selling over 1 million tickets on BookMyShow so far. This achievement, which includes both the advance bookings and the rapid current day sales, confirms the ground-level hype for the project set against the backdrop of 1980s rural Andhra Pradesh. When we look at the final pre-sales data, Peddi secured a prestigious position among the biggest Telugu openers since 2024. The film concluded its advance booking window with 875,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow, making it the 5th highest pre-seller for a Telugu movie in recent years. By crossing this mark, it comfortably surpassed the final advance booking numbers of major films like OG, Game Changer, and Guntur Kaaram. While it sits behind massive releases like Pushpa 2, Kalki 2898 AD, and Devara, entering the top five list suggested early on that the film was carrying heavy blockbuster momentum. The ticket sales trajectory since this morning has been particularly aggressive, helping the film reach that 1 million mark quickly. Starting from 6 am, the hourly bookings on BookMyShow showed a rapid upward climb. In the first hour, the film sold about 8,400 tickets, but this number surged as the morning progressed. Between 10 am and 11 am, sales peaked at approximately 43,500 tickets. By noon today, the total tickets sold within just the first six hours of the day reached nearly 1.80 lakh. This kind of morning madness indicates that spot bookings are exceptionally high, particularly in the Telugu states where the opening buzz is fueling the demand. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The performance within national multiplex chains also reflects this large-scale opening. For Day 1, the major chains have recorded a gross of approximately 1.70 crore( As of 2 pm in the afternoon) .This comes from nearly 54,000 tickets sold across these premium screens. While these figures represent the urban center trend, the jump in current day bookings shows that the city audience has turned up in full force for the release day shows. A national chain occupancy of nearly 30 percent on its first day is a positive indicator of its overall theatrical potential. With a runtime of 3 hours and 9 minutes, Peddi is being mounted as an emotional big-screen entertainer centered around a community-driven sports story. The combination of Ram Charan's screen presence and Buchi Babu Sana's storytelling seems to have resonated well with the viewers. As we move into the evening and night shows, the focus will be on the final Day 1 totals to see where this rural drama ranks among the biggest openers for the actor, especially to see if it can secure the second spot in his career right behind RRR.

Peddi Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer Sets 500 Crore Worldwide Target

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 3 - Superstar Ram Charan is all set to return to the big screen with Peddi, one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports action drama carries enormous expectations, not just because of its scale and star power, but also because of the box-office target it reportedly needs to meet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to trade estimates, Peddi has a break-even target of around 500 crore worldwide gross, making it one of the riskiest and most ambitious projects in Ram Charan's career. As a result, the film cannot afford to finish below that figure if it hopes to emerge as a successful theatrical venture. Crossing the 500 crore mark would be a significant achievement for the actor. It would become Ram Charan's second film after RRR to enter the prestigious club. More importantly, it would be the first solo-led film of his career to reach the milestone, as RRR was a multi-starrer featuring Jr. NTR alongside him. The Path To 500 Crore Worldwide Is Anything But Easy (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the makers are confident about the film's prospects and the promotional material has generated considerable excitement among audiences, the outcome will depend on audience reception after release. Strong word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, and sustained collections beyond the opening weekend will be crucial if Peddi is to achieve its ambitious target. The pressure on Ram Charan is also considerably higher than usual due to the performance of his recent films. His last release, Game Changer, was expected to be a major blockbuster and capitalise on the goodwill generated by RRR. Instead, the film failed to meet expectations and ultimately became a box-office disaster. Before that, Acharya, which featured megastar Chiranjeevi in the lead role with Ram Charan playing an extended role, also underperformed at the box office despite carrying significant hype before release. The back-to-back setbacks have increased expectations surrounding Peddi, with trade observers viewing it as a crucial film for the actor's box office standing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Fortunately for the makers, the film has several factors working in its favour. Ram Charan continues to enjoy massive popularity across domestic and overseas markets following the global success of RRR. The film's rural sports backdrop, large-scale production values, and music by A. R. Rahman have also helped generate strong pre-release buzz. Nevertheless, buzz alone will not guarantee success. The film must convert anticipation into sustained ticket sales if it wants to justify its massive theatrical valuation. With a reported β‚Ή500 crore worldwide target against the budget of 350 crores, Peddi faces one of the toughest box office challenges of any Indian film this year. For Ram Charan, the stakes could not be higher. A successful run would not only give him his first solo 500 crore grosser but also provide the blockbuster comeback he has been seeking since Game Changer. Failure, on the other hand, would raise fresh questions about the commercial viability of big-budget star vehicles in the post-RRR era. The film is scheduled to release on June 4.

With two days still left for premiere shows, the film has already accumulated impressive advance booking numbers and is expected to comfortably cross the coveted $1 million mark in premiere pre-sales.According to Venky Box Office, the latest tracking data reveals that Peddi has grossed $784,611 in the USA from 533 locations, 1,647 shows, and 28,037 tickets sold. The detailed sales breakdown shared by Venky Box Office highlights the film's widespread appeal across premium formats and major theatre chains. Standard screens have contributed $505,045 from 19,279 tickets, while premium formats such as XD, RPX, D-Box and other PLF screens have collectively added nearly $280,000 to the total. Among theatre chains, Cinemark has emerged as the biggest contributor with $466,707 from 16,344 tickets sold, followed by Regal with $160,766. The data also shows healthy growth across premium screens, indicating strong audience interest in experiencing Peddi in enhanced formats, a trend usually associated with major event releases. Across North America, the film's premiere advance sales currently stand at $870,000 with 31,237 tickets sold. Given the strong momentum witnessed over the past few days, trade analysts expect a huge last-minute surge that could push the film past the seven-figure milestone before premieres commence.Crossing $1 million in North America premiere advance sales has traditionally been considered a prestigious benchmark for Telugu cinema. Only a handful of films have managed to enter this exclusive club over the years. Blockbusters such as Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Agnyaathavaasi, Saaho, RRR, Adipurush, Salaar, Guntur Kaaram, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Game Changer, They Call Him OG, and The Raja Saab have all achieved the feat. Peddi now looks set to become the latest addition to that elite list. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong overseas response reflects the anticipation surrounding the film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi marks the filmmaker's first collaboration with Ram Charan. Ever since the project was announced, it has generated considerable buzz thanks to its rural sports-drama backdrop and the intriguing character transformation undertaken by the star.The film boasts an impressive cast led by Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. Veteran Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar plays a crucial role, while Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma add further depth to the ensemble. The project has also attracted attention for its technical team, particularly with Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman handling the music. One of the biggest positives for Peddi has been its growing momentum in overseas markets. North America remains one of the most important territories for Telugu films outside India, and a strong premiere performance often serves as a foundation for a successful theatrical run. The current advance sales trend suggests that audiences are responding positively to the film's promotional material and pre-release buzz. However, the film faces substantial box office expectations after release. According to the figures shared by Venky Box Office, Peddi's North America breakeven target across all languages has been pegged at $6.5 million. Meanwhile, the overall overseas breakeven point stands at approximately $9 million. While the advance sales indicate a promising start, the film will need sustained audience support over the coming weeks to achieve those targets. For now, all eyes remain on the $1 million milestone. With North America premiere advance sales already at $870,000 and two valuable days of bookings still remaining, Peddi appears well-positioned to join one of Telugu cinema's most exclusive overseas clubs even before its first show begins.

Mumbai, May 16 - Superstar Ram Charan’s much-awaited sports action drama Peddi continues to show excellent momentum in overseas advance booking. The film has now sold 10,000 tickets for its North American premiere shows, nearly three weeks ahead of release. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the big-budget entertainer had already created a record by becoming the fastest Indian film to cross $100K in North America pre-sales, achieving the milestone within just four hours of bookings opening. According to the latest trade reports, the premiere pre-sales in North America have now surpassed the $300K mark, signalling strong buzz for the film among overseas audiences.

Trade circles are expecting Peddi to emerge as one of the biggest premiere grossers for a Telugu film in North America if the current pace continues over the coming days. Reports suggest Peddi is aiming for a massive release with hundreds of premiere shows planned across the USA and Canada. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu in key roles. The music has been composed by A. R. Rahman. Produced by Vriddhi Cinemas and IVY Entertainment, Peddi is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026.
