Peddi Box Office Day 1 Advance Booking Final Update!
According to Sacnilk, Peddi registered the final advance booking of 20.66 crore gross (excluding blocked seats) for day 1. As one would expect, it witnessed the best trends in the Telugu belt, followed by Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and then Malayalam. Buchi Babu Sana’s sports action drama sold a whopping 8.2 lakh tickets.
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu are among the key performing circuits. The final pre-sales have been fantastic. With growing positive word of mouth, only the sky would be the limit for this Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings’ film.

Since RRR, the expectations have been sky-high from Ram Charan, who hasn’t been able to deliver a massive success yet. Even Game Changer enjoyed a huge pre-release buzz, but the content wasn’t upto the mark. Here’s hoping Peddi will turn the tables.
