Ram Charan’s Peddi has opened on a strong note at the box office. Including premiere collections, the film reportedly crossed Rs 135 crore gross worldwide on day one. The overseas numbers are also impressive, with the movie racing past the $2.5 million mark. These figures were officially announced by the team, and fans are celebrating what is being called Ram Charan’s career best opening.
However, the real challenge starts now. The film has received mixed reactions from audiences. While some viewers are praising it heavily, others are not fully convinced. Because of that, the public talk is swinging.
Trade circles feel that if family audiences and regular moviegoers continue to support the film despite the mixed talk, Peddi could still end up posting record numbers. Recently, even dubbed films with average reports managed decent revenues in Telugu states. So, a big scale Telugu film like Peddi still has strong chances at the box office.
One major surprise is the audience turnout despite the high ticket prices for premiere shows. Not just fans, even families and general audiences attended the expensive early screenings. Advance bookings for the second day are said to be solid, especially in B and C centers.
The biggest advantage for Peddi right now is the long weekend. Since premieres started on Wednesday, the film will already enter its fourth day by Sunday with strong occupancy expected through the weekend. If the movie maintains momentum during this period, reaching break even may become easier.
At the same time, everything depends on how the talk shapes up over the next few days. The team is hoping the response turns more positive and unanimous. Discussions about holding a success meet are already going on internally.
