Overview
- Peddi opened to a powerful extended first week but slowed sharply in week two, with independent trackers reporting India net around Rs 226–228 crore and worldwide gross near Rs 320–322 crore.
- The production house Vriddhi Cinemas has publicly posted a Rs 400 crore worldwide gross figure, a claim that conflicts with consolidated trade‑tracker estimates and industry reporting.
- Director Buchi Babu Sana apologised for scenes criticised as objectifying Janhvi Kapoor’s character and confirmed those portions were removed before the new cut was released.
- The makers began rolling out a slightly re‑edited theatrical version on Thursday that adds approximately 5 minutes 56 seconds of footage intended to deepen Janhvi Kapoor’s role and tighten supporting threads, but early reactions were mixed and there was no immediate weekend bump in daily receipts.
- With media reports citing a production budget near Rs 350 crore the film remains a distance from breakeven on theatrical revenue alone, making weekday holds and stronger weekend returns in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana especially important for its final commercial outcome.
