Despite facing criticism and controversy since its release, Peddi continues to hold steady at the box office. The Ram Charan starrer earned Rs 5.15 crore on Friday, taking its total India gross collection to Rs 235.98 crore according to industry tracker Sacnilk. While the numbers were relatively modest for the start of a weekend, all eyes are now on Saturday and Sunday to see whether the film, also starring Janhvi Kapoor, can regain momentum and post double-digit collections globally.

With its worldwide earnings reportedly crossing the break-even mark against its estimated Rs 350 crore budget, Peddi is on track to emerge as Ram Charan’s first major box-office success since the blockbuster RRR. The actor’s previous releases, Acharya and Game Changer, underperformed at the box office. In particular, Game Changer sparked debate within the industry over extravagant production spending, including reports of a song sequence costing nearly Rs 75 crore.
What controversy did Peddi face after the release?
Peddi is emerging as Ram Charan’s first major box-office success since the blockbuster RRR, which is significant for the actor’s career. His previous films, Acharya and Game Changer, failed to perform as expected at the box office. Game Changer, in particular, was the talk of the town due to its production costs, with reports suggesting that a single song sequence alone was made on a budget of nearly Rs 75 crore. Peddi’s success could help Ram Charan bounce back from these underperforming releases.
