Peddi’s Day‑24 Earnings Drop 14% Despite Saturday Surge, Marks Ram Charan’s Lowest Post‑COVID Gross
The Telugu action‑thriller Peddi posted a 14% decline on its 24th day, falling short of expectations even after a Saturday boost. The film’s worldwide haul nears ₹325 crore, but it remains the lowest‑grosser for Ram Charan in the post‑COVID era.
Peddi’s Day‑24 earnings slipped 14% after a modest Saturday lift, underscoring the film’s struggle to sustain momentum.
Details
- Day‑24 domestic collection: ₹3.2 crore (₹3.1 crore on Day‑23)
- Weekend bump: ₹4.5 crore on Saturday, still below the opening weekend peak
- Total domestic gross after 24 days: ₹72.5 crore
- Worldwide earnings: ₹324.9 crore, close to the ₹325 crore mark reported by Pinkvilla
- Post‑COVID lowest for Ram Charan, as noted by Koimoi and IMDb
Quotes
Koimoi highlights the 14% decline, describing it as a “disappointing fate” for the star. Pinkvilla reports the film’s global total hovering just shy of ₹325 crore. IMDb lists Peddi as Ram Charan’s lowest‑grosser in the post‑COVID era, confirming the domestic dip.
Background
Peddi, released in late 2025, was expected to follow Ram Charan’s earlier successes such as Rangasthalam and Rangasthalam 2. The film’s high‑budget production and star power generated significant pre‑release buzz. However, audience reception has been mixed, with critics pointing to a predictable storyline and pacing issues.
Conclusion
The 14% drop signals a waning audience interest, raising questions about the film’s long‑term viability. With the theatrical window closing soon, distributors may pivot to digital and satellite rights to recoup investments. For Ram Charan, Peddi’s performance could influence the choice of projects in the next phase of his career.
