Ram Charan’s Peddi Is Already Outrunning Pushpa 2 in Coastal Andhra — And It’s Only Day 2

If you were wondering whether Ram Charan could pull off a massive solo blockbuster after his RRR high, Peddi is answering that question loud and clear. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film has roared out of the gates, and Day 2 numbers suggest this isn’t just a hype-fuelled opening — it’s a genuine blockbuster in the making.

Peddi Day 2 Box Office: The Numbers Breakdown

The film collected approximately ₹30 crore on its second day (Thursday), reflecting a 63% drop from its opening day — or just under 50% when previews are excluded. The two-day cumulative India total now stands at approximately ₹110 crore. pinkvilla

How Does It Compare to the Big Boys?

This is where it gets exciting. In Coastal Andhra, Peddi actually outperformed both Pushpa 2 and Kalki 2898 AD on Day 2, grossing a superb ₹10.75 crore. The APTS region contributed ₹23.75 crore for the second day — comparing well against Kalki 2898 AD and Pushpa 2, which were around ₹27–28 crore each in the same territory.

For context, according to Wikipedia’s overview of Telugu cinema, the industry has consistently produced some of India’s highest-grossing films — and Peddi is firmly on track to join that elite list.

What’s Next for Peddi?

The four-day extended opening weekend is projected to land somewhere between ₹180–185 crore, with the Telugu states alone expected to contribute at least ₹140–150 crore. A ₹200 crore milestone in India is now considered certain, with the trajectory beyond that hinging on how the film holds in the coming week.

The word-of-mouth appears strong, and the weekend crowds are only going to swell. Watch this space.
