Global Star Ram Charan’s rural sports drama, Peddi, is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. Following a historic opening day that saw the film breach the elite ₹100-crore club worldwide, the movie has achieved another massive milestone in terms of theatrical footfalls. The makers of the film have officially announced that Peddi has crossed a phenomenal 3 million (30 lakh+) tickets sold across major online platforms.
The stellar milestone reflects tickets booked combinedly via premier entertainment and ticketing applications, including BookMyShow and Zomato’s new entertainment platform, District. Tracking metrics indicated that during peak advance booking windows and throughout its opening day, the film was consistently selling tens of thousands of tickets per hour, comfortably cementing its position as one of the fastest-moving titles of the season.
Massive Domestic and Pan-India Momentum
This massive surge in ticket sales perfectly validates the record-breaking box office figures reported globally. The film grossed an official ₹135.36 crore worldwide on Day 1, driven primarily by the exceptional response in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The massive volume of digital ticket sales also indicates strong family-audience pull and solid spot-bookings in multiplexes and single screens across urban centers.
What makes this 3-million ticket milestone noteworthy is its pan-India spread. While the Telugu states contributed the lion’s share of the theatrical traffic, steady ticket sales were also recorded across neighboring states like Karnataka and in major North Indian circuits, giving the sports drama a stable platform to grow over its opening weekend.
