Peddi Posts Second-Week Box‑Office Jump as Reporting Disputes and Creative Backlash Surface

Strong Day 11 collections show the Telugu film's commercial momentum even as differing global totals and a director's apology over a character's portrayal have become focal points.

Overview

  • Industry tracker Sacnilk reported Day 11 India net of Rs 9.20 crore, a 13.6% rise from the previous day that takes the film's India net to about Rs 216 crore and pushes its worldwide gross to roughly Rs 308 crore.
  • Multiple outlets citing Sacnilk record healthy occupancies for the Telugu version and a 30% occupancy for the Hindi dub, with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana the biggest state contributors on Day 11.
  • Some trade sites give slightly different India totals and one single-source report claims a much higher Rs 378 crore global figure, exposing routine variance between trackers and published estimates.
  • The Hindi-dubbed run has collected about Rs 15.6 crore after 11 days and trade projections place its lifetime near Rs 18.5–20 crore, a modest but notable separate revenue stream for the film.
  • The film's box-office strength has tightened its profit outlook for makers and distributors, even as director Buchi Babu Sana's apology for a character portrayal prompted industry pushback and public discussion about creative choices.
