Ram Charan film Peddi crosses Rs 350 crore mark worldwide. (Credit: Facebook/@vriddhicinemas)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.

Peddi also found itself at the centre of controversy shortly after release, with several viewers criticising the portrayal and objectification of Janhvi Kapoor’s character. The backlash prompted director Buchi Babu Sana to issue a public apology and reportedly make changes to the scenes in question.
Apart from Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, the film also features Jagapathi Babu, Divyendu and Shiva Rajkumar in pivotal roles.
After a steady dip in earnings over the past few days, director Buchi Babu Sana's Ram Charan-Janhvi Kapoor starrer Peddi saw a daily collection uptick, with the money it collected on Saturday, June 13, being higher than that on Friday. As of 7.50 pm, the sports action drama had earned Rs 5.60 crore on Saturday, taking its total India nett collection to Rs 204.30 crore.

After a fairly dull Friday, when it recorded its lowest single-day collection thus far (Rs 5.15 crore), director Buchi Babu Sana's Ram Charan-Janhvi Kapoor starrer Peddi seems to have returned to form. Its earnings for Saturday, June 13, have almost reached those of Friday.

The Hindi version has performed particularly poorly, collecting only Rs 11 lakh on Day 10 despite being screened across 502 shows. The film continues to rely heavily on its Telugu market, while its dubbed versions have struggled to attract audiences.
