The Ram Charan-starrer Peddi began its theatrical run on a strong note, collecting over Rs 51 crore in India on its opening day and grossing more than Rs 150 crore worldwide within its first two days. However, the film now appears to be losing steam.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Peddi earned Rs 28.85 crore on its third day, taking its India net total to Rs 125.25 crore. The film’s worldwide gross has crossed the Rs 236.7 crore mark, as shared by the makers.
Peddi has been making headlines for reasons beyond its box-office performance. A section of viewers criticised certain scenes involving Janhvi Kapoor, who plays the female lead, accusing the film of objectifying the character. Following the backlash, director Buchi Babu Sana issued a lengthy statement apologising to audiences and confirmed that changes would be made to the contentious portions.

He wrote, “After reviewing the feedback, we have decided to make changes to the concerned portions. Cinema grows through its connection with audiences, and as storytellers, we have a responsibility to be mindful of evolving perspectives and sensitivities.”
Peddi marks Ram Charan’s third release after RRR. While RRR emerged as a global blockbuster, his subsequent films, Acharya and Game Changer, failed to perform at the box office. While, Game Changer was reportedly mounted on a budget exceeding Rs 450 crore. Peddi, meanwhile, is said to have been made on a budget of around Rs 350 crore.
Although Peddi remains on track to recover its costs if collections remain stable through the coming week, its long-term box-office prospects will depend on whether it can regain momentum over the weekend. The film also stars Ravi Kishan, Shiva Rajkumar and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles.

Peddi Movie Live Update: 'It’s also the responsibility of the actor to check the footage shot,' says top Tamil producer
Tamil film producer G Dhananjheyan took to X to share, "Reading many posts on the objectification of Women in films especially after controversy relating to #Peddi … being a part of filmmaking process, strongly feel it’s the responsibility of everyone involved (Director, DoP & Actor) to shoot with proper permission of the actors such shots or angles. It’s also the responsibility of the actor to check the footage shot (monitor is there or spot edit) and remove the shots which they feel not appropriate. Actors who don’t bother these (checking the monitor or spot edit or even after the content is ready), complaining after the film is released is not fair . Why allow it to go and then crib? Filmmaking is a time consuming and collaborative process and the content comes out to theatres after many months of shooting. So actors have time to stop prior to their release during this process time unless they are not bothered and react only after getting trolls on the shots … along with Director & DoP, will blame the actor too for such presentation, for allowing such shots to go to theaters."

Peddi Movie Live Update: 'Interesting mix of factors' that is working for Ram Charan's film
X user Kartik Dayanand shared, "The reason why Peddi had a terrific launchpad at the box office is because of an interesting mix of factors. The director is from Sukumar's school of filmmaking. Post the Pushpa films Sukumar's brand value skyrocketed to stratospheric levels and the audience expects a lot from him and his disciples. If Sukumar is the Pro version of the iPhone then Buchi Babu Sana is the entry level version of the iPhone. But what's more interesting is the role of Ram Charan. He's the OG who lived and breathed the rustic and rooted hero character to perfection in Rangasthalam. If there was no Rangasthalam or Ram Charan's extraordinary performance in it there wouldn't have been a Pushpa later. Actually Allu Arjun should dedicate his national award to Ram Charan. So in Peddi's case it's a curious mix of an OG with a basic version of the iPhone and the audience really were looking forward to this collaboration with the collective impact of Rangasthalam, Pushpa as well as Uppena playing on their minds. With such extraordinary pre-release goodwill the film generated tremendous buzz but they haven't been able to match the genius of those earlier films so there's bound to be some disappointment for true fans. If some are still defending the movie it's more like a consolation prize. We all knew this combination could and should have delivered something better than all those earlier movies."
