Actor Ram Charan's latest feature Peddi has registered a spectacular opening day at the global box office, comfortably crossing the ₹100 crore gross milestone on day one, inclusive of select paid previews. Also starring Janhvi Kapoor, the sports action drama helmed by director Buchi Babu Sana benefited from a sensational start across the core Telugu markets alongside massive paid preview numbers on Wednesday.

With its explosive debut, the film has officially recorded the third-highest premiere gross in the history, trailing only behind juggernauts like Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and They Call Him OG.

The film’s native home turf of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributed a whopping ₹48 crore gross. Including the paid preview numbers, the film’s pan-India nett total currently stands at ₹69.50 crore.

Including the worldwide gross across Wednesday's previews and Thursday's full theatrical rollout, the film has clocked an estimated ₹112 crore globally. As reported by the industry tracker, Peddi has become the 11th Telugu film to achieve the coveted ₹100 crore worldwide opening-day milestone.
