Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor's sports action drama 'Peddi' is having a fantastic run at the box office. Upon release, the film got mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics. While there was some controversy on social media about Janhvi Kapoor's character, it didn't seem to affect the film's earnings. Now, 'Peddi' has hit a new milestone by crossing the ₹200 crore net collection mark in India. The film is holding strong in its second week, and the amazing audience response has already made it one of the biggest Telugu films of the year.

'Peddi' Showed Strong Buzz from Day One
'Peddi' had received tremendous support from the audience even before its release. The film had earned around ₹20 crore from advance bookings alone. As per reports, more than 82 lakh tickets were sold before the release. After earning ₹18.50 crore from paid previews a day before its release, the film registered a brilliant opening of ₹51 crore net in India on its first day. However, its collections started to dip during the weekdays. But by the end of its 10th day, the film has joined the ₹200 crore club in India, with a total net collection of ₹206.80 crore.
'Peddi' Just a Whisker Away from the ₹300 Crore Club Worldwide
Talking about its worldwide collection, 'Peddi' is just a stone's throw away from hitting the ₹300 crore mark and will easily join the club on its 11th day. On its 10th day, the film earned ₹1 crore overseas. With this, its total overseas gross collection has reached ₹51 crore. In India, the film's gross collection stands at ₹245.53 crore. Looking at these figures, the film has earned a worldwide gross of ₹296.53 crore at the box office.

Peddi to Become the Highest-Grossing Telugu Film of the Year
'Peddi' is now all set to claim the record for the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year. It has already surpassed the lifetime collection of the Prabhas-starrer 'The Raja Saab' (₹206.57 crore) in India. Now, with 'Peddi', Ram Charan is about to break the record of his own father Chiranjeevi's film, 'Man Shankar Var Prasad Garu', which had a lifetime net collection of ₹218.47 crore. Once that happens, 'Peddi' will become the highest-earning South Indian film of 2026.
