The much expected sports thriller Peddi by Ram Charan is taking over the box office like a storm. Following one of the best opening weekends of the year, the movie is almost at the desired ₹200 crore mark globally, and it will reach that mark in just three days. It has become one of the biggest Telugu hits of 2026.
When Peddi came out, there were a lot of high hopes. It opened to packed cinemas in key areas and has continued to draw big crowds all weekend. Trade figures show that the film’s collections have remained steady, even though critics have given it mixed reviews. This shows how popular Ram Charan is and how much people are looking forward to the project.
The collections from Day 3 show healthy growth
On its third day, the movie had another good day at the box office. Trade reports say that Peddi’s sales went up by about 7.2% compared to its second day. On Day 3, the movie made about ₹28.85 crore net in India, bringing its total domestic net collection to more than ₹125 crore. According to reports, the movie has grossed around ₹191 crore worldwide, putting it very close to the ₹200 crore mark.
People think that the rise is a good sign for the movie’s long term run in theatres. Over the weekend, admission rates rose in several areas, especially in Telugu speaking regions, where public reaction remains very strong.
People in the business think the movie could easily surpass the ₹200 crore mark worldwide by the end of the day. This would be another big achievement in Ram Charan’s already great career.

One of the best job opportunities for Ram Charan
From the start, everyone knew that Peddi would bring in a lot of money. The movie did well because it had strong advance sales, was heavily promoted, and there was a lot of talk about how Ram Charan changed for the role. Before the movie came out, pre sales were at an amazing level, which meant the opening weekend would be big.
Finally, the movie lives up to those hopes by having a huge opening weekend. Reports say it grossed more than ₹135 crore worldwide on its first day, making it one of Ram Charan’s biggest launches ever. But it couldn’t beat RRR’s record, so it still became one of the biggest opening day hits in Telugu films.
The star is especially happy about the success because some of his recent movies didn’t do very well in theatres. Peddi has again shown that he has a strong pull at the box office and can draw fans from a wide range of audiences.
Collections are fuelled by strong audience response
Audiences’ and fans’ interest in the movie has been a big part of its amazing run. Many viewers have said that Ram Charan’s performance was powerful and one of his most dedicated roles in recent years. People on social media have also talked about how moving some parts of the movie are, how it’s based on sports, and how high energy it is.
People who have seen the movie have also said nice things about the music and background sound. Fans’ good word of mouth has helped keep the momentum going through the opening weekend, resulting in strong crowds despite competition and criticism of some parts of the plot.
BookMyShow trends and ticket sales showed how popular the movie was even more, with millions of tickets sold in the first few days. Theatres continue to have very high attendance rates thanks to the large number of people who go to see shows.

Can “Peddi” Join the Club of the Best Movies?
With almost ₹200 crore made worldwide in just three days, movie experts will be closely watching how the movie performs this coming week. The most important test will be whether Peddi can keep going after its first weekend and continue to draw in families and return watchers.
Many trade experts think the movie could become one of the biggest hits in Telugu this year because it got off to a great start and did well in key Telugu markets. International markets have also contributed significantly to the total, making it even more likely that new marks will be set.
The movie is slowly getting close to ₹200 crore globally, so now everyone is watching how well it does during the week. If things keep going the way they are, Peddi could soon join the ranks of other big Indian box office hits and become another important moment in Ram Charan’s career.
