The Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Peddi continued its theatrical run on Thursday as the sports action drama edged closer to the ₹200 crore milestone at the domestic box office, even as its daily earnings showed a noticeable decline in the second week. The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, has been under scrutiny since release over criticism related to the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character, though this has not significantly derailed its overall performance so far.

According to trade tracking platform Sacnilk, Peddi collected ₹6.30 crore net in India on its eighth day, taking its total domestic earnings to ₹193.55 crore. Despite the mid-week slowdown, the film remains one of the stronger commercial performers of the year, supported by a high-profile cast and strong opening weekend momentum.

The film had opened to a robust response at the box office, collecting ₹51 crore on its first day, including ₹18.50 crore from paid premieres. It maintained strong momentum over its opening weekend, earning ₹26.90 crore on Friday, ₹29.10 crore on Saturday, and peaking at ₹32.15 crore on Sunday, driven by audience turnout in major centres.

However, Peddi began to show signs of slowdown from Monday onwards, with collections dropping to ₹12.35 crore. The downward trend continued through the weekdays, with the film earning ₹9.70 crore on Tuesday and ₹7.55 crore on Wednesday, reflecting the typical post-weekend decline seen in big-budget releases.

Despite the dip, the film remains close to the ₹200 crore mark, which is being closely watched by trade analysts as a key psychological milestone. With the weekend approaching, industry observers expect a possible uptick in collections, though sustaining momentum beyond the second week will depend heavily on word-of-mouth and competition from upcoming releases.
