Peddi, starring Ram Charan, hit theatres on June 4, 2026, with special premiere shows lighting up screens the previous night. From the very first show, the film announced its arrival in style, registering a thunderous opening and clocking over ₹135 crore gross worldwide on Day 1.
Strong Opening Across Telugu States
In the Telugu states, Peddi enjoyed healthy occupancies throughout the day. The buzz remained high across single screens and multiplexes alike, and trade circles expect the momentum to build further as the weekend unfolds.
Here’s a look at the Day 1 Andhra Pradesh collections by region:
- Vizag – ₹6 crore (approx.)
- East Godavari – ₹4.4 crore (approx.)
- West Godavari – ₹3.5 crore (approx.)
- Krishna – ₹3.3 crore (approx.)
- Nellore – ₹1.9 crore (approx.)
Together, these figures bring the Andhra Pradesh total to around ₹19 crore share, a strong foundation for the days ahead. Adding to the optimism, Nizam collections are also expected to post solid numbers, further boosting the film’s overall performance.
Star Power and Strong Craft Fuel the Buzz
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi banks on a powerful blend of emotion, scale, and mass appeal. The ensemble cast includes Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma, and Boman Irani in pivotal roles.
Backing the film is Vriddhi Cinemas, while the music is composed by A. R. Rahman, whose score adds an extra pulse to the narrative.
Verdict So Far
With a robust Day 1 in Andhra Pradesh and an impressive worldwide opening, Peddi has sprinted out of the gates. If word of mouth stays strong, the film looks well-positioned to post even bigger numbers over the weekend, turning its opening roar into a sustained run at the box office.
