Overview
- Released June 4, Peddi has passed the ₹200 crore India net threshold and is reported by industry trackers to sit around ₹218–223 crore net in India.
- Independent box-office trackers (Sacnilk and trade outlets) place the film’s worldwide gross near ₹306–308 crore, while the producers’ social post claims a much higher ₹393 crore, creating conflicting public figures.
- The film opened strongly but has shown volatility: a second-weekend rebound gave healthier takings while Day 12–13 weekday receipts dropped to some of the lowest single-day hauls reported by trackers.
- Public criticism over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character led director Buchi Babu Sana to apologise, the makers removed contested moments from the theatrical cut, and an extended version that restores three scenes has been announced.
- Trade estimates cite a reported production budget near ₹350 crore and note the film has not yet fully recovered that cost domestically; the Hindi-dubbed version is projected to finish near ₹18.5–20 crore, which will affect overall profitability.
