Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi’ holds strong on day 19, Nears ₹235 Crore mark at india box office

Ram Charan’s sports drama Peddi continues to maintain its grip at the Indian box office even on its Day 19, showing resilience despite the typical weekday slowdown.

According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected approximately ₹0.47 crore net on its 19th day. With this, the film’s total India net collection has climbed to an impressive ₹234.74 crore, while its worldwide India gross stands at ₹277.81 crore.

The film is currently running in around 1,267 shows across India, and while screen counts have reduced significantly compared to its opening week, Peddi is still drawing audiences in key regions, especially across the Telugu belt.

On Day 19, the film registered an overall Telugu occupancy of 19.42%, showing a mixed but stable response through the day. Morning shows opened at 15.27% occupancy, improved to 20.82% in the afternoon, and settled slightly at 14.91% in the evening slot.

Among individual cities, Bengaluru emerged as the strongest performer with a remarkable 34.3% occupancy across 40 shows. The city even recorded a striking 51% morning occupancy, driven largely by fan-heavy turnout.

Other notable performers included Mahbubnagar (30%), Warangal (26%), and Guntur (25%), all contributing to the film’s continued momentum. Visakhapatnam also held steady with 24.3% occupancy, showing consistent growth across the day.

In contrast, major urban markets like Hyderabad, despite being the biggest contributor in terms of shows (163 screenings), recorded a relatively modest 13.3% occupancy, though it improved gradually as the day progressed. Vijayawada stood at 10%, while Karimnagar remained lower at 9%. The NCR region saw minimal activity with just 1% occupancy from a single show.

Looking at its overall journey, Peddi opened with a strong ₹18.50 crore from paid previews and delivered a massive ₹51 crore on its opening day. The film wrapped up its first week at ₹193.55 crore net, followed by a solid second-week addition of ₹34.45 crore.

Even in its third week, the film has managed to stay stable, collecting ₹1.50 crore on Day 16, ₹1.95 crore on Day 17, and ₹2.82 crore on Day 18, showing a consistent though gradual decline typical of long theatrical runs.

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi features a strong ensemble cast including Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, Shivarajkumar, and Divyendu Sharma in key roles.

With the film inching closer to the ₹235 crore milestone, Peddi continues to prove its box office strength and audience pull, especially in its core Telugu markets.
