Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG: Theatrical Business Sets Huge Breakeven Challenge

Hyderabad, September 20 - Saaho director Sujeeth's maiden collaboration They Call Him OG with superstar Pawan Kalyan is creating a stir among the fans and trade alike, ahead of its September 25 release. No doubt is the most hyped movie of PK in recent times, and one of the most anticipated Telugu movies of the year.

OG, which is a gangster action thriller film, has been in a hot demand in the trade for its theatrical deals. While the theatrical business is yet to be locked, the negotiations have already started. According to the Telugu media reports, the Telugu states' business of OG is reportedly locked at 155+ crores.

It is said that Nizam's rights are sold at over 55 crores, while Andhra's are 80 crores, and Ceeded is 22 crores. Including rest of India and overseas rights, the theatrical business of OG is expected to be over 165 crores share, which is higher than the highest-grossing film of Pawan Kalyan.

As said, OG will have a huge task in hand, as it will require to gross minimum of 300 crores at the worldwide box office to achieve the break-even target. The film is produced by DVV Entertainment, which also backed SS Rajamouli's blockbuster RRR.

OG stars Pawan Kalyan in the title role of Ojas Gambheera alongside Emraan Hashmi as Omi Bhau (in his Telugu film debut), and Priyanka Mohan as the female lead. The film revolves around a ruthless don named Ojas Gambheera "OG" who returns to Mumbai following his ten-year disappearance, to reclaim his empire and exact vengeance on the current tyrant, Omi Bhau.

The movie is scheduled to release on September 25 in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil languages.

Stay tuned...

Peddi Box Office: From Baahubali to Pushpa 2, Peddi Now Finds Its Place in Tollywood's $5M Overseas Club

BY SACNILK

Ram Charan's Peddi continues to add significant milestones to its box office journey. While the film may not have fully lived up to the sky-high expectations associated with a project of this scale, its actual performance remains impressive. The latest achievement comes from overseas, where the film has officially crossed the coveted $5 million mark in less than a week of release. Crossing $5 million overseas is no small feat for a Telugu film. Despite the expansion of international markets over the years, only a handful of Tollywood releases have managed to enter this elite club. With Peddi joining the list, Ram Charan has secured yet another notable overseas success, reinforcing his strong pull among international audiences.The timing of the milestone makes it even more noteworthy. The film achieved the feat before completing its extended opening week, a sign that demand remained strong throughout its initial run. Overseas collections currently stand at approximately ₹48.80 crore gross, with several key markets continuing to contribute steadily. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, Peddi remained stable during the weekdays. On Day 7, the film collected ₹7.55 crore net from 7,535 shows across India. While this represented a 22.2% drop from Day 6's ₹9.70 crore net, such declines are fairly common after the opening weekend, especially for major star-driven releases. The collection pushed the film's India net total to ₹187.25 crore, while the India gross reached ₹222.53 crore. Combining domestic and overseas earnings, the worldwide gross has now climbed to ₹271.33 crore. As the film enters Day 8 and completes its extended first week, attention is naturally turning toward the next set of milestones that could be achieved during the second weekend.>Beyond collections, ticket sales data also highlights the film's sustained audience interest. On its first Wednesday alone, Peddi sold around 84,600 tickets on BookMyShow, while national chains contributed another 11,820 admissions. Combined sales across the major ticketing platforms crossed 96,000 tickets for the day, an impressive figure for a film already deep into its first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The BookMyShow ranking offers further context. With approximately 85,000 tickets sold on its first Wednesday, Peddi secured one of the strongest midweek performances among recent Telugu releases. The film trails only a select group of major blockbusters such as Pushpa 2, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara, Salaar, HanuMan, and OG. It has already outperformed several other high-profile releases in the same metric, suggesting that audience engagement remains healthy. Baahubali: The Beginning | Kicked off the modern era of Telugu cinema's overseas dominance. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion | Remains the benchmark for Tollywood's global box office success. Bharat Ane Nenu | One of the early post-Baahubali films to establish a strong overseas footprint. Rangasthalam | Crossed $5.14M overseas, proving content-driven rural dramas could travel globally. Saaho | Benefited from a massive multi-language international release. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo | Set a new benchmark for family entertainers in overseas markets. RRR | Became a worldwide phenomenon, especially in North America and Japan. Adipurush | Crossed $5.5M overseas despite mixed reception. Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire | Reinforced Prabhas' massive overseas market. HanuMan | The surprise blockbuster that finished with nearly $6.8M overseas. Kalki 2898 AD | Emerged as one of the biggest overseas grossers in Telugu cinema history. Devara: Part 1 | Demonstrated Jr. NTR's standalone overseas pulling power. Pushpa 2: The Rule | Shattered multiple international box office records. They Call Him OG | Crossed $5M in North America alone and finished above $7M overseas. Peddi | Entered the prestigious $5M overseas club before completing its extended opening week. With the extended opening week coming to an end today, the film has already established a strong foundation. Whether it can convert this momentum into a powerful second weekend remains to be seen, but crossing $5 million overseas and ₹271 crore worldwide within the first week ensures that Peddi remains firmly among the year's biggest box office performers.

Peddi Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Update: Ram Charan Starrer Crosses 271 Crore Worldwide; Chasing They Call Him OG Global Record

BY SACNILK

Global Star Ram Charan is now concluding the extended first week of his latest outing, Peddi, and the film has already etched its name in the history books. This sports drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring Janhvi Kapoor, has officially become the highest-grossing film for Ram Charan as a solo lead. While the mid-week trend shows the expected decline in numbers, the film's steady performance across the country is keeping the buzz alive as it enters the final day of its first week in theaters. Live Now Looking back at the Day 7 performance, which fell on Wednesday , Peddi managed to gather a net collection of 9.70 Cr across India. This represented a 19.9% drop from the Tuesdays earnings, which is a standard pattern for big-ticket releases during the working week. Even with this slight dip, the movie maintained a solid grip in the Telugu states, ensuring that the cumulative totals remained ahead of several recent blockbusters. This consistent daily performance has been the key factor in reaching the current milestones as the extended first week comes to a close. As we move into Thursday, the focus remains on how the movie stabilizes after seven days of solid run. So far, the domestic net collection has reached a massive 187.31 Cr, proving that the film has successfully resonated with the audience across all regions. The upcoming second weekend will be the real test for Peddi, but for now, it is comfortably sitting on a mountain of collections that few solo-lead Telugu films have reached in such a short span. LIVE BLOG 14:15 (IST) 11 JUN 2026 Peddi Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Update: Massive 6 Million tickets milestone in sight; India Net hits ₹188 Cr Peddi is making serious waves as it approaches the end of its extended first week, with trending data suggesting the film is on the verge of hitting a massive 6 Million tickets sold milestone across BookMyShow and the District app combined. This marks the biggest numbers for Ram Charan since the global sensation RRR. As of Day 8 afternoon, the film is running across 3,496 shows and has already collected a live net of ₹1.41 Cr today. This steady intake brings the total India net collection to ₹188.66 Cr, while the domestic gross has touched ₹224.20 Cr. 12:15 (IST) 11 JUN 2026 Peddi Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Update: North America Day 7 trends out; Hindi gross struggles to meet post-RRR expectations The latest overseas reports indicate that Peddi collected $51K from 250 locations in North America on its seventh day. While the overseas run remains steady, the domestic performance in the Hindi belts is turning out to be quite underwhelming. Currently, the Hindi version’s total gross stands at ₹19.26 Cr. Considering Ram Charan’s massive popularity in the North following the blockbuster success of RRR, these figures are considerably lower than what was initially expected from a Global Star's solo release. Although Hindi drives about 87% of the ₹22.15 Cr Rest of India gross, the film is yet to find the same level of momentum in the Hindi market as it wraps up its extended first week. 10:45 (IST) 11 JUN 2026 Peddi Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Update: Day 7 combined sales cross 96K; Today's morning booking trend holds steady On Wednesday (Day 7), Peddi showed impressive momentum with over 85,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow and 11,200 tickets in national chains, bringing the combined total to a solid 96,000+ sales. As for Thursday (Day 8), the morning trend is following a typical weekday pattern. Between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM today, the film sold 5,720 tickets on BMS, compared to 6,360 tickets during the same window yesterday. While there is a slight dip, the movie is maintaining a consistent flow as it approaches its second weekend. 10:00 (IST) 11 JUN 2026 Peddi Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Update: Movie crosses 187 Cr Net mark on Thursday morning As of Day 8 morning, Peddi is currently running across 781 shows and has collected a live net of 0.06 Cr today. This brings the total India net collection to 187.31 Cr, while the total domestic gross has reached 222.60 Cr. The film is looking to finish its extended first week on a strong note before the second weekend begins. @keyframes pulse { 0% { opacity: 1; } 50% { opacity: 0.2; } 100% { opacity: 1; } } .blinking-dot { height: 7px; width: 7px; background-color: white; border-radius: 50%; display: inline-block; animation: pulse 1.2s infinite ease-in-out; } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "LiveBlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi Box Office Collection Day 5 Live Update", "description": "Analytical report and live updates for Peddi box office performance.", "liveBlogUpdate": [ { "@type": "BlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi hits 150 cr mark", "datePublished": "2026-06-08T09:50:00+05:30", "articleBody": "Peddi has officially crossed the 150 crore net mark in India according to early estimates." } ] }

Peddi Day 7 Box Office: Worldwide gross hits over Rs. 271 Cr and is now over 23 Cr away from crossing They Call Him OG globally

BY SACNILK

Peddi generated strong pre-release buzz thanks to Ram Charan's star power . Since its release, the actor's performance has received widespread appreciation and remains one of the key talking points among audiences. Although the film is not living up to the massive expectations that accompanied a project of this scale, it is still reaching significant milestones and setting new benchmarks in several areas. On its seventh day, which was a Wednesday, the film managed to earn a net collection of 7.55 Cr across India. This represents a 22.2% drop compared to Tuesday’s net of 9.70 Cr. While mid-week dips are a standard occurrence, the film is maintaining a steady presence with 7,535 shows currently running across the country. This brings the total India net collection to a respectable 187.25 Cr so far. On Day 7, Peddi recorded an India gross of 8.89 Cr. If we look at the state-wise breakdown, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets remain the heart of the movie's success, contributing 6.50 Cr gross for the day. Karnataka followed with 0.60 Cr, while Tamil Nadu and Kerala added 0.25 Cr and 0.05 Cr respectively. The Rest of India markets contributed another 1.49 Cr, pushing the total India gross to 222.53 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The language-wise performance shows that the Telugu version is doing most of the heavy lifting, bringing in 6.10 Cr net on Wednesday with an overall occupancy of 24.0%. Interestingly, Vizag-Visakhapatnam recorded a very high occupancy of nearly 40%, while Hyderabad remained steady at 20.5% across 640 shows. The Hindi version also showed some grit by adding 1.25 Cr net, while the Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions saw smaller contributions during the mid-week period. In the national theater chains, the film saw a consistent turnout for a working Wednesday. Looking at the figures for PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, these chains collectively grossed 33 Lakhs. To be more specific, PVR brought in 15 Lakhs, INOX added 12 Lakhs, and Cinepolis contributed 6 Lakhs. It is clear that while the mass-market single screens are driving the volume, the urban multiplex audience is still providing a reliable secondary stream of revenue. Digital booking trends are another indicator of the movie's reach. On BookMyShow, Peddi recorded 84.86K ticket sales on Wednesday alone, which is a very healthy number for a seventh day. This has helped the film cross a massive milestone on the platform, with total tickets sold now exceeding 31 Lakhs since its release. On the global front, the film added 0.80 Cr (Early estimates) from overseas markets on Day 7, taking its international gross to 48.80 Cr. When you combine the domestic and international numbers, Peddi has hit a worldwide gross total of 271.33 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the extended first week draws to a close, it is fascinating to see where Peddi stands among the all-time greats of Telugu cinema. While it has some way to climb to reach the very top, it has already secured its place among the notable global earners of Tollywood. Here is a look at the top Telugu movies based on their worldwide gross collections: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 1788.06 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 1742.10 Cr RRR - 1230.00 Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 1042.25 Cr Baahubali: The Beginning - 650.00 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 617.75 Cr Saaho - 451.00 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 428.00 Cr Adipurush - 393.00 Cr Pushpa: The Rise - 350.10 Cr Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu - 301.49 Cr Hanuman - 295.29 Cr They Call Him OG - 295.22 Cr Peddi - 271.33 Cr Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo- 269.35 Cr With its first week coming to an end today, the film has already crossed several significant milestones. If it maintains this momentum, the ₹300 Cr mark is well within reach, and the current trend suggests it could continue climbing higher on the list.

Peddi Box Office: Just $500K Away From Breaking Ram Charan's 8-Year-Old North America Record

BY SACNILK

Six days into its theatrical run, Peddi has firmly established itself as one of the biggest box office performers in Ram Charan's career. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and co-starring Janhvi Kapoor, the sports drama has not only posted impressive numbers worldwide but has also emerged as a strong force in overseas markets. With collections continuing to hold steady, the film is now on the verge of achieving a major milestone in North America. Within just six days of release, Peddi has grossed ₹261.23 crore worldwide and recovered an impressive ₹150+ crore share. With a breakeven target of ₹215 crore share, the film has already recovered 69.8% of its investment and is firmly on track to enter the profit zone by its second weekend.While the domestic performance has been strong, the overseas market is where an even more interesting story is unfolding. Peddi has collected over $3 million in North America within its first week, putting it on the verge of a major career milestone for Ram Charan. With PEDDI crossing the $3 million mark in North America, the film has joined a relatively exclusive club of Telugu releases that have achieved the feat over the years. 2015 – Baahubali: The Beginning 2017 – Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 2018 – Rangasthalam 2018 – Bharat Ane Nenu 2019 – Saaho 2020 – Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo 2020 – Sarileru Neekevvaru 2022 – RRR 2023 – Salaar 2023 – Adipurush 2024 – HanuMan 2024 – Kalki 2898 AD 2024 – Devara: Part 1 2024 – Pushpa 2: The Rule 2025 – Mirai 2025 – They Call Him OG 2026 – Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu 2026 – PEDDI* (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) To understand why this is significant, one has to look at the actor's overseas track record. At the very top sits RRR, the SS Rajamouli-directed global phenomenon that eventually amassed over $15 million in North America. However, RRR occupies a category of its own. It was a once-in-a-generation event film featuring both Ram Charan and NTR Jr, backed by Rajamouli's unmatched brand value. Among Ram Charan's solo-led films, the benchmark has long belonged to Rangasthalam. Released in 2018, the Sukumar directorial started with a premiere gross of around $710K and went on to enjoy an extraordinary theatrical run, eventually finishing with $3.51 million in North America. For nearly eight years, no solo Ram Charan film has been able to cross that mark. That is where Peddi enters the conversation. The film opened with a strong $1.57 million from premieres alone, more than double the premiere numbers of Rangasthalam. By Day 6, its North American total had already climbed to approximately over $3 million, putting it within striking distance of Rangasthalam's lifetime record.The pace is what makes Peddi's run particularly noteworthy. Rangasthalam needed a long and steady theatrical run powered by exceptional word-of-mouth to reach $3.51 million. Peddi, meanwhile, has already covered most of that distance within its opening week itself. In practical terms, the film now needs less than half a million dollars to become Ram Charan's highest-grossing solo film in North America. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The comparison becomes even more impressive when viewed alongside some of the actor's recent releases. Game Changer, despite arriving with the backing of director Shankar and massive expectations, concluded its North American run at around $2.2 million. Peddi has comfortably moved past that figure within days of release and is now chasing a much bigger target. Of course, overtaking RRR is never part of the discussion. The Rajamouli blockbuster remains the undisputed king of Ram Charan's filmography overseas and continues to rank among the biggest Telugu films ever released in North America. The real battle is for the second position, and Peddi appears to have one hand firmly on that spot already. As the film heads into its second weekend, two milestones are now within reach. The first is breakeven, which could be achieved in the coming days if the current trend continues. The second is the North American record among Ram Charan's solo films, a crown that Rangasthalam has worn since 2018. If Peddi maintains momentum over the weekend, Ram Charan may soon have a new overseas champion in his solo filmography.

Ram Charan is currently navigating the first week of his latest release, Peddi, and the film has hit a major career milestone. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and starring Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, this sports-based rural drama has officially emerged as the Mega Power Star's highest-grossing film as a solo lead. While the film is facing the typical weekday pressure, it has managed to keep the momentum going as it approaches the end of its first week in theaters. Live Now On Tuesday, which marked Day 6 of its run, Peddi collected a net of ₹9.65 Cr across India. This reflects a 19.9% drop from the Monday collection of ₹12.05 Cr. While a dip during the working week is expected for any big-budget film, this brings the total India net collection to ₹179.35 Cr so far. The film is finding its level during these weekdays, and the coming days will be crucial in determining how it sets itself up for the second weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the gross numbers, which are a better indicator of the film's massive scale in the South Indian market, Peddi has gathered an India gross of ₹213.23 Cr. Combined with the overseas gross of approximately ₹48 Cr, the worldwide collection now stands at an early estimate of ₹261.23 Cr. These are big numbers, and they place the film in a very elite bracket of Telugu cinema within just six days of its release. The most exciting part of today's trend is the milestone it is about to chase. By the end of Day 7, Peddi is expected to surpass the lifetime worldwide collection of the blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which stands at ₹269.35 Cr. Crossing this mark will allow Ram Charan’s latest to enter the list of the Top 15 highest-grossing Tollywood movies of all time, likely taking the 15th position.

News on the makers of Peddi planning for a massive re-edit of the film to improve its theatrical reception is surfacing online. Reportedly, there are plans to completely delete the Gouraidu flashback sequences in the second half while adding fresh scenes featuring Ram Charan and Jagapathi Babu. It is being reported that once these modifications are finalized, the film will be re-submitted to the censor board for approval before a revised version is released in theaters. This strategic move aims to maintain the momentum into the second weekend. 14:37 (IST) 10 JUN 2026 Peddi Live Update: Rural India Embraces the 'Mega' Vibe; Fans Celebrate in UP As Peddi moves through its first Wednesday with a live net collection of ₹1.17 Cr, taking its total India net to ₹180.52 Cr, the ground-level reports from the North are becoming a major talking point.

Beyond the domestic markets, the film has just unlocked a massive international milestone by crossing the $3 Million mark in North America. This feat places Peddi in a legendary league of Tollywood blockbusters, joining an elite group that includes Baahubali, RRR, Salaar, and the recent Pushpa 2: The Rule. It is a massive testament to Ram Charan's global pull that a sports-centric rural drama is now ranking alongside the biggest action spectacles of Telugu cinema in the US and Canada markets. 12:15 (IST) 10 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 7 Live Update: Ram Charan Hits ₹150 Cr+ Worldwide Share; Recovery Touches 70% As of Wednesday noon, Peddi is showing steady progress with 2127 active shows and a live net collection of ₹0.77 Cr today.

Peddi Day 5 Box Office: India Gross Reaches 14.31 Cr; Ram Charan Starrer Ranks No. 7 Among Tollywood's Highest 5-Day Totals

BY SACNILK

The latest cinematic offering Peddi has been the talk of the town since its release. Driven by the sheer star power of Ram Charan, the film hit the big screen with a level of anticipation that has been building steadily for months. Following a strong opening weekend, all eyes were on how the film would perform during its crucial first Monday test, a day that typically determines the long-term sustainability of a big-budget project. On its fifth day, Peddi recorded a gross collection of 14.31 crore across 7,905 shows in India. This figure marks a shift from Sunday’s gross of 38.24 crore, representing a standard stabilization trend that typically follows a high-performing opening weekend. With this latest addition, the film has reached a total India gross of 201.92 crore, while the net collection stands at 169.70 crore so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the national theater chains for Monday, the performance was led by INOX and PVR. In PVR, the film sold roughly 5,900 tickets, resulting in a gross of 17.8 lakhs across 790 shows with an occupancy of 4 percent. INOX followed closely with 6,100 tickets sold and a gross of 17.0 lakhs across 650 shows at 4.5 percent occupancy. Cinepolis contributed 7.6 lakhs gross from 2,600 tickets across 400 shows. In total, these top three chains accounted for 14,600 tickets and a combined gross of 42.4 lakhs from 1,840 shows. The cumulative India net collection of 169.70 crore is largely driven by the Telugu version, which has contributed 153.90 crore to the total. The Hindi-dubbed version serves as the second-largest market with 13.30 crore, while the remaining languages account for a smaller portion of the business. Specifically, the Tamil version has netted 1.35 crore, followed by Kannada at 0.91 crore and Malayalam at 0.24 crore. This distribution shows that the film's primary pull remains concentrated in the Telugu states, though it has established a footprint in the Hindi belt as well. Peddi recorded 142,000 tickets sold for its first Monday. Looking at how other major titles performed, Pushpa 2 holds the top spot with 750,000 tickets, while Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar had recorded 488,000 and 473,000 tickets respectively. Peddi's Monday numbers are currently trending in a similar range to Devara, which had sold 161,000 tickets on its first Monday.

It narrowly missed out on the top 10 by a margin of 77 lakhs, as the 10th-positioned film, Hanuman, had earned 11.17 crore. However, the film's initial momentum is clearly visible in the cumulative charts, where it has secured the 7th position among the highest-ever first five-day collections in Tollywood.

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

BY SACNILK

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
