Peddi, the sports action drama starring Ram Charan, has maintained momentum at the box office despite criticism for the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's character. The film collected ₹28.85 crore on its third day of release, a significant dip from the previous two days. However, the total India gross collections stand at ₹141.41 crore and the total India net at ₹125.25 crore.
The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, has been praised for tackling an important topic but has also been criticized for its portrayal of women. In response, the director issued a statement announcing changes to the film running in cinemas.
Peddi, which tells the story of the titular character, Peddi (Ram), who finds a way to define himself through sport, has been a commercial success despite the controversy. The film was released in theatres on Thursday across 3000 screens and collected ₹40.66 crore net in India on its first day.
