Peddi Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 7: Ram Charan Film in Free Fall, to End Week 1 Behind OG, Mahavatar Narsimha

The initial excitement surrounding director Buchi Babu Sana’s sports drama Peddi appears to be wearing off quickly as the film completes its first week in theatres. Starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in leading roles, the highly anticipated project is facing a steep decline in ticket sales across both domestic and international markets. After registering a massive opening weekend, the film has experienced a continuous downward trend through the weekdays, struggling to maintain its initial momentum as it approaches the end of its first week.

According to early tracking reports, Peddi managed to secure a net collection of 7.55 crore rupees in India on its seventh day, which reflects a drop of over twenty percent from the previous day. This brings its total domestic net collection to approximately 187.25 crore rupees, while the gross domestic figure has reached around 222.50 crore rupees. While the film started its journey with a staggering 51 crore rupees on its opening Thursday, the sudden drop to single-digit daily collections within a week indicates a major loss of pace at the ticket windows.

The pan-India aspirations of the makers also seem to have run into significant roadblocks. Despite promotional events in northern cities like Bhopal and a wide release of the Hindi version across over one thousand screens, the film has failed to strike a chord with audiences outside its home territory. Around ninety-five percent of the total revenue has been generated solely by the native Telugu version, with the Hindi dub flatlining completely and barely crossing the 15 crore rupee mark after a week of release.

Things look equally challenging on the international front, where the film has virtually wrapped up its impactful run, earning a meager amount on Wednesday to take its total overseas gross to just over 5 million dollars. This brings the overall worldwide gross collection of Peddi to approximately 273 crore rupees. With this trajectory, the sports drama will fall short of the lifetime collections of other prominent releases like OG and Mahavatar Narsimha by the close of its first full week, missing the initial trade expectations that predicted it would comfortably clear those benchmarks within its first seven days.

Industry experts suggest that growing online criticism regarding the representation and objectification of Janhvi Kapoor’s character has severely impacted the movie’s long-term prospects. Audiences expressed disappointment over how her character arc was handled, which prompted an official apology from the director who promised that the controversial sequences have been modified or completely removed from the theatrical cuts. As the second weekend approaches, it remains to be seen if these corrective changes and potential evening audience turnouts can help the Ram Charan starrer stabilize and eventually march toward the 300 crore rupee milestone globally.
