The much-awaited film 'Peddi', starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, has finally made its digital debut on Netflix. The movie, which was released in theatres earlier this year, has garnered significant attention for its box office performance. Here is a detailed look at its lifetime collection and how it fared at the box office.
Box Office Collection Details
According to trade reports, 'Peddi' (also referred to as RC16) collected approximately Rs 150 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. The film earned Rs 100 crore in India alone, with the Telugu version contributing the majority of the revenue. The Hindi dubbed version added around Rs 30 crore to the domestic total.
The film's opening weekend was strong, grossing Rs 45 crore in India, but it saw a decline in subsequent weeks due to mixed reviews. However, the star power of Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor helped sustain collections in key markets like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Global Performance
Overseas, 'Peddi' performed moderately, collecting Rs 50 crore from markets such as the USA, UAE, and Australia. The film's total worldwide gross stands at Rs 150 crore against a reported budget of Rs 100 crore, making it a commercial success.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted, "'Peddi' had a decent run at the box office, but it could have performed better given the buzz around the lead pair. The film's OTT release on Netflix will help it reach a wider audience."
Digital Release Impact
The film's arrival on Netflix is expected to boost its viewership, especially among audiences who missed it in theatres. With Ram Charan's massive fan following and Janhvi Kapoor's growing popularity, 'Peddi' is likely to trend on the streaming platform.
As per industry insiders, the digital rights for 'Peddi' were sold for a significant amount, adding to the film's overall profitability. The movie is now available in multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam.
