Peddi Box Office Collection Day 5: Ram Charan's film off to slow start on first Monday after ₹150 cr+ haul in India

Peddi Box Office Collection Day 5: Ram Charan's latest pan-India release, Peddi, witnessed a successful weekend, hitting the ₹150 crore mark in India. However, the film has slowed down considerably due to low traction on Monday. Peddi is currently heading towards ₹250 crore worldwide.

Peddi Box Office Collection Day 5

On day 5, Ram Charan's Peddi collected ₹1.79 crore net so far today from 3,068 shows nationwide, as per early shows. Telugu shows remain the dominant contributor with ₹1.58 crore and an occupancy of 23%, while the Hindi and Tamil versions have added ₹18 lakh and ₹3 lakh, respectively. These figures are way less than the weekend business. Peddi has time throughout the day to boost its revenue.

However, these are early estimates and are subject to change.

With day 5 tentative earnings, Peddi's total India net collection has reached ₹158.94 crore, while the India gross haul is now at ₹189.13 crore.

The final earnings of the day will be released after the night shows.

Peddi Box Office recap

Peddi has delivered a strong opening extended weekend at the Indian box office, collecting over ₹150 crore net through its first four days. After taking a promising start with ₹18.50 crore from paid previews, the sports drama recorded a ₹51 crore opening. The film mostly witnessed a steady weekend and collected ₹26.90 crore on Friday, followed by ₹28.85 crore on Saturday and ₹31.90 crore on Sunday, thanks to audience interest and positive word of mouth. As of Monday, Peddi remains far from ₹2 crore. While occupancy has naturally dipped on the first working day after a strong weekend, the film is expected to hold well during the weekdays.

Controversy over Janvhi Kapoor's character

Peddi recently faced backlash over its portrayal of lead female actor Janvhi Kapoor.

Director Buchi Babu Sana addressed the controversy and apologised after concerns were raised by viewers. Responding to the backlash, the filmmaker said the team had taken the feedback seriously and changed the objectional portions that had drawn criticism.

He said, "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. Every woman deserves to be respected, valued, and represented with dignity. We remain committed to telling stories that celebrate strong characters and uphold those values. Thank you to everyone who shared their views honestly and sincerely."
