Peddi Box Office Totals Disputed as Film Crosses Rs 200 Crore in India

Conflicting studio and independent tracker figures leave the film short of the higher break‑even target that trade sources say is needed for clear profitability.

Overview

  • The makers of Peddi announced a nine‑day worldwide gross of Rs 366 crore, while independent trackers such as Sacnilk place the same period's global total nearer to Rs 296 crore, creating a clear gap in public figures.
  • Industry trackers report that Peddi crossed the Rs 200 crore India net milestone on Day 10, driven by a strong second‑weekend uplift after a weekday slowdown.
  • The film opened to a very large weekend in Telugu markets and has remained heavily dependent on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for most of its box‑office receipts, with the Hindi dubbed release underperforming.
  • Director Buchi Babu Sana apologised for problematic framing of Janhvi Kapoor’s character and said targeted shots were removed or modified in theatrical prints following audience criticism.
  • With a reported production budget near Rs 350 crore and trade estimates of about Rs 500 crore for global break‑even, the disputed totals leave Peddi having recovered a substantial portion of costs but still short of a clear profit, making further non‑Telugu market gains and ancillary revenue important.
