Peddi, the sports drama starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, has lost momentum at the box office. Despite a strong opening day, the film has seen a sharp drop in collections, collecting just $100K a day overseas and ₹9.65 crore net in India on Tuesday.
The film, which had opened at ₹69 crore net in India and over ₹100 crore gross worldwide, has earned ₹179.35 crore net (₹213 crore gross) in India after six days. However, it has disappointed outside the Telugu states, with almost 95% of its collections coming from the Telugu version.
The online criticism of Janhvi Kapoor's objectification has also affected the film's prospects at the box office. Director Buchi Babu Sana has apologised and promised to change the offending scenes soon.
Peddi is now expected to take some time to cross the ₹300 crore mark, and may not beat the lifetime collections of films like OG (₹295 crore) and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (₹300 crore) by now.
