Peddi Crosses Rs 345 Crore Worldwide Despite Controversy And Competition

Ram Charan's Peddi earned Rs 7.55 crore on Day 7, taking its India net total to Rs 187.25 crore and worldwide gross beyond Rs 345 crore.

Ram Charan’s sports drama Peddi continues to perform strongly at the box office despite facing controversy and competition from several new releases. The film collected Rs 7.55 crore on its seventh day, taking its total India net collection to Rs 187.25 crore. After earning more than Rs 60 crore during its opening weekend, the film has shown a gradual decline in daily collections. Peddi earned Rs 9.70 crore on Tuesday before collecting Rs 7.55 crore on Wednesday. Even with the drop, the film has maintained a strong presence in cinemas and remains one of the top performing releases currently in theatres.

According to an official update from the production team, Peddi has crossed Rs 345 crore in worldwide gross collections within just 7 days of its release. The film recorded its highest single day collection on its opening day, Thursday, when it earned Rs 51 crore across 12142 shows in India.

The action sports drama has been competing with films such as Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar and the Hollywood horror thriller Obsession. However, in the absence of another major star driven release, Peddi has managed to retain a strong hold at the box office.

The film recently found itself at the centre of controversy due to scenes involving Janhvi Kapoor’s character. Some viewers criticised the film for what they described as the objectification and hypersexualisation of the female lead. Following the backlash, director Buchi Babu Sana issued a public apology and confirmed that the scenes in question had been removed from the film.

Speaking to SCREEN, the filmmaker said, “In this process, a few shots turned misleading. We have taken corrective measures to remove them, and we have removed them.”

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi features Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. The supporting cast includes Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu and Boman Irani. The film’s music has been composed by AR Rahman.

Apart from its domestic success, Peddi has also performed well internationally. According to Sacnilk estimates, the film has crossed the $5 million mark at the overseas box office within its first week. Its international gross collection currently stands at approximately Rs 48.80 crore.

With a worldwide gross of more than Rs 345 crore in 7 days and strong audience turnout across markets, Peddi has emerged as one of the biggest box office performers of the year so far.
