Telugu Star Ram Charan's Film 'Peddi' Releases, Earns ₹29.20 Crore on Day 1

Mumbai. Telugu star Ram Charan's much-awaited film 'Peddi' has been released from Thursday (June 4 today). The film has finally reached the audience after its release date was postponed several times. The film has made a good start at the box office.

According to Indian media, the film has collected ₹29.20 crore on the first day. Earlier, the film had earned ₹18.50 crore from paid preview shows. With this, the total collection of the film has reached ₹47.70 crore so far.

Producer and actor Ram Charan has high hopes from 'Peddi'. However, this film is unlikely to be the biggest opening film of Ram Charan's career. His highest-grossing film on the first day is 'RRR', which grossed ₹133 crore in India on its first day.

Ram Charan's second biggest opener is 'Game Changer', which collected ₹51 crore on the first day. Whether 'Peddi' can surpass the opening record of 'Game Changer' will depend on its earnings in the coming days.

'Peddi' stars actress Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role alongside Ram Charan. Janhvi got the biggest opening of her career from the Telugu film 'Devara Part 1'. Junior NTR starrer 'Devara Part 1' had an opening of ₹77 crore at the box office on its first day.

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, 'Peddi' revolves around the story of Peddi (Ram Charan), a daily wage laborer from a hilly village. Peddi does whatever he wants because he believes he will not be born a second time. He is struggling with upper caste and urban people to bring recognition to himself and his village.

Peddi plays excellent cricket and earns money from the taunts directed at him. But one day, people from the upper caste conspire and defeat him.

To gain his identity and respect, Peddi gives up cricket and starts wrestling so that he can win a gold medal and make a name for himself. Then, for respect, Peddi takes such a step that no one could have even imagined.
