The numbers are in, and Peddi has done something Ram Charan had never done before as a solo hero. With a worldwide Day 1 of Rs. 108.75 crore approx, he has officially entered the century club on the global stage — and written his name into Telugu box office history.

A Historic Milestone for Ram Charan
This worldwide total ranks Peddi as the ninth highest opening day ever for a Telugu film — and marks the second Ram Charan film to cross the Rs. 100 crore worldwide mark on Day 1, his first as a solo lead.
That’s a significant distinction. RRR was an ensemble, but Peddi belongs entirely to Ram Charan — and the numbers reflect the pulling power he commands as a standalone star.

Reading the Overseas Performance
While the opening in India is impressive, the overseas numbers are a bit of a downer. The preview grosses were fine, but the main Thursday business could have been better. The USA dominated the overseas tally at USD 1.77 million, but a significant chunk of that came from Wednesday previews. The hope is that the film picks up over the opening weekend internationally, though the ceiling at this level is naturally limited.
The Telugu film industry’s box office has grown at a remarkable pace — and Peddi entering the all-time top 10 worldwide openers is a strong reflection of that growth.

What Comes Next?
For Mahesh Babu’s upcoming SS Rajamouli directorial Varanasi, a worldwide Day 1 over Rs. 200 crore is considered a sure shot — which would place it firmly in the top three of this all-time list. That gives a sense of just how much headroom the Telugu industry’s biggest films still have to grow.
For now, Peddi has delivered a genuinely historic moment for Ram Charan — and the weekend ahead will determine whether it can build on this foundation into a full-blown blockbuster run.
