Ram Charan’s Peddi continued its impressive run at the box office on Day 5, successfully passing its first Monday test despite facing criticism and social media backlash in some quarters. The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring Janhvi Kapoor alongside Ram Charan, has maintained strong audience interest since its release.
After a blockbuster opening weekend, trade analysts expected collections to slow on Monday, a common trend for most films. However, Peddi managed to hold steady and recorded respectable earnings on its fifth day. The performance indicates that positive word-of-mouth and strong fan support continue to drive footfalls in theatres.
Strong Momentum After Opening Weekend
The sports drama opened to packed theatres across several markets, particularly in Telugu-speaking regions. The film also performed well in overseas territories, helping boost its worldwide total.
Industry trackers estimate that Peddi is now closing in on the ₹250 crore mark globally. While the pace of collections has naturally slowed after the weekend, the film remains one of the strongest performers at the box office this year.
Ram Charan’s star power has been a major factor behind the film’s success. Audiences have praised his performance, action sequences and emotional scenes, while the film’s music and visuals have also received positive feedback.

Backlash Fails to Hurt Collections
In recent days, the film has faced criticism on social media over certain creative choices and storyline elements. However, the controversy has not significantly impacted ticket sales.
Trade experts point out that box office performance is ultimately driven by audience turnout rather than online discussions. The film’s ability to maintain collections on a working Monday suggests that interest remains strong among moviegoers.
Road Ahead for Peddi
The coming weekdays will be important in determining the film’s long-term box office trajectory. If collections remain stable until the second weekend, Peddi could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of the year.
For now, the first Monday result offers encouraging signs for the makers. With strong domestic support and healthy overseas earnings, Peddi appears well positioned to continue its successful theatrical run in the days ahead.
