In the Telugu states, where *Peddi* collected Rs. 66.50 crore approx, it is the fourth-highest opening of all time — ahead of *Devara* and just behind *Pushpa 2*, *RRR*, and *They Call Him OG*. For a film that has been through repeated delays and originally slated for a release last year, that is a remarkable achievement.

The film also crossed Rs. 100 crore worldwide on Day 1 — becoming the ninth biggest opening day ever for a Telugu film globally, a massive milestone in any era of Indian cinema.

## Reading the Numbers

The Telugu heartland delivered massively, as expected for a Ram Charan actioner of this scale. Karnataka also turned in a strong Rs. 9 crore, including previews. The Hindi version clocking Rs. 3 crore nett is modest but respectable — particularly for a non-franchise South film making its dubbed debut in the North.

There will naturally be some drop on Day 2, as the packed opening-day crowds settle. But with positive audience reception and the weekend ahead, *Peddi* is well-placed to consolidate and potentially mount a blockbuster run. The word-of-mouth, while mixed on Janhvi Kapoor’s role, has been largely warm on Ram Charan’s performance and the film’s overall entertainment quotient.

## About the Film
