Peddi recorded an overall occupancy of 48.81% on Saturday. The film registered 29.85% occupancy in the morning shows, which rose to 48.15% in the afternoon, 57.08% in the evening, and 60.15% during the night shows.
The film has been performing better than Ram Charan’s last movie Game Changer (2025), which had minted Rs 72.60 crore net in India in two days. However, it hasn’t been able to surpass the day one numbers of his biggest film RRR, alongside Jr NTR. The SS Rajamouli directorial had collected a whopping Rs 223 crore worldwide on its first day.
Even as Peddi continues to draw audiences to theatres, its depiction of Janhvi Kapoor’s character has drawn criticism from a section of viewers. Many viewers, especially women, felt that scenes presented as light-hearted romance in Peddi actually normalised harassment and blurred the lines of consent.
Reacting to the backlash, the film’s director Buchi Babu Sana has admitted that certain portions of the film did not work as intended. In an interview with SCREEN, he said, “I had not anticipated that the scenes would be perceived so negatively by audiences. The idea was to showcase a playful romance story between Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. However, we’ll be more careful and make better representations.”
