Ram Charan’s Peddi Trails Obsession in Weekend BookMyShow Bookings

Ram Charan’s latest film, Peddi, surprisingly found itself outpaced by the English-language horror flick Obsession in weekend ticket sales on BookMyShow. This unexpected result has sparked plenty of chatter among moviegoers and industry observers alike, as Ram Charan, fresh off his recent blockbuster performances, was widely expected to dominate the box office.

While Peddi boasts a glittering line-up—Ram Charan in the titular role, Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, music by AR Rahman, and a lavish multi-language release—the weekend saw Obsession recording 45,220 bookings compared to Peddi’s 37,680. What’s even more remarkable is that Obsession achieved this feat on its 24th day in theatres, whereas Peddi is still in its 18th day since release.

This trend highlights that audience engagement often outweighs big budgets and star casts when it comes to sustained box office performance. As per reports, "audiences ultimately gravitate towards films that keep them engaged." The continued strong turnout for Obsession has become a talking point across social platforms, with many viewers applauding its gripping narrative and atmospheric horror elements.

With Peddi still running in theatres and Obsession holding strong in its fourth weekend, all eyes are now on how both films will fare as the summer box office heats up.
