Peddi Box Office Report: Ram Charan Film Crosses Rs 100 Crore Milestone Amid Growing Social Media Buzz

The Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer shows steady momentum as it hits a major financial landmark in its opening weekend.

The much-discussed Peddi has officially crossed the Rs 100 crore India net mark, proving that audience interest remains high despite the various controversies surrounding its theatrical run. Trade trackers at Sacnilk report that the film amassed Rs 28.85 crore on its third day, reflecting a 7.2 percent growth over its second-day earnings of Rs 26.90 crore. This steady climb pushes the total India net collection to Rs 125.25 crore, with the film’s total gross reaching Rs 149.07 crore across all domestic markets.

Worldwide Reach and Regional Performance

Global appetite for the film is also expanding, with an additional Rs 8 crore generated from overseas markets on Saturday alone. This brings the international gross to Rs 42 crore, pushing the worldwide total for the film to an impressive Rs 191.07 crore. Domestically, the Telugu version continues to be the primary driver of revenue, contributing Rs 25.60 crore on the third day. While the Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions also added to the tally, their individual shares remain significantly smaller than the core Telugu market.

Occupancy Trends

The growth seen on the third day is largely attributed to a positive shift in audience turnout as the day progressed. Data indicates that the Telugu version of the film sustained an overall occupancy rate of 56.40 percent throughout the day. Notably, the night screenings saw a surge in attendance, reaching 68.31 percent occupancy. Such trends typically suggest strong word-of-mouth, which often serves as a barometer for how a film might sustain its momentum into the following week.

Alleged Behind-the-Scenes Friction

While the numbers look strong at the box office, the film is simultaneously navigating a wave of online discourse regarding the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character, Achiyyamma. Recent social media activity has been dominated by unverified screenshots of private chats circulating among fan pages. These messages allegedly show Kapoor expressing discomfort with specific camera angles used during production, with claims that she explicitly requested the removal of certain waist and chest shots.

The circulating screenshots further suggest that Ram Charan intervened to support his co-star, allegedly confronting the crew member responsible for the framing. While these reports remain unverified, they have sparked intense debate among fans, adding a layer of off-screen drama to the film's commercial success. As the industry watches to see how Peddi maintains its pace, these conversations remain an active part of the film's broader narrative.
