Ram Charan’s Peddi Maintains Strong Momentum, Eyes Blockbuster Weekend
Ram Charan’s latest outing, Peddi, has made an emphatic statement at the box office, storming into theatres with record-breaking openings for the star. Released on Thursday after a dry summer in Telugu cinema, Peddi instantly drew massive crowds, registering the highest opening numbers among Ram Charan’s films in recent years.
Directed by Buchi Babu and produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru, this rural sports drama features Ram Charan alongside Janhvi Kapoor. The film’s robust performance continued on Friday, traditionally considered a litmus test for new releases. Despite being a working day, audiences flocked to theatres, with family crowds filling evening and night shows across the Telugu states. The buzz has also extended internationally, with Peddi performing impressively in the USA and other overseas markets.
Fans have been unanimous in their praise for Ram Charan’s powerful performance, and the makers shared their excitement with the media, stating that "Peddi has offered a huge relief for theatres which are in a struggling phase." The team expressed confidence in recouping their theatrical investment, buoyed by the film’s solid box office run so far.
With such strong momentum, all eyes are now on Peddi’s weekend collections, as the film looks poised to become one of the season’s big box office winners.
