The Telugu blockbuster Peddi, starring Ram Charan, has stormed the global box office, surpassing an impressive ₹332 crore worldwide in just six days since its release on June 4, 2026. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring music by the legendary A.R. Rahman, the film opened to a massive ₹51 crore net on day one, setting the tone for a record-breaking run.
According to trade figures from Sacnilk, Peddi has collected ₹179.35 crore net in India, translating to a ₹213.23 crore domestic gross, while overseas markets contributed another ₹48 crore. The film’s performance in the Telugu states has been particularly remarkable, with Uttarandhra setting records by crossing ₹1 crore share for six consecutive days, a feat rarely achieved in regional cinema.
The film’s success is being attributed not only to Ram Charan’s star power but also to his layered performance, which has drawn praise from peers including Akhil Akkineni. Family audiences have flocked to theatres, and strong word-of-mouth has ensured steady weekday collections, pushing the film toward a projected ₹350 crore-plus first week. Analysts are already calling Peddi the top South Indian earner of 2026 so far, cementing Ram Charan’s position as one of the industry’s most bankable stars.
With its combination of mass appeal, critical acclaim, and record-breaking box office numbers, Peddi is shaping up to be a landmark film in Telugu cinema. The collaboration between Buchi Babu Sana’s direction and A.R. Rahman’s music has elevated the film’s impact, making it not just a commercial juggernaut but also a cultural talking point.
