Hyderabad, June 22 - In a major update, powerstar Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited sequel They Call Him OG 2 has been confirmed and is likely to go on floors sooner than expected. The sequel was confirmed after the almost 300 crore worldwide success of the first film; however, the uncertainty over the second instalment was looming large due to PK's busy political schedules. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the latest Telugu media reports, OG might start rolling by this year itself if all goes well; however, not before major production changes. Despite the impressive box office numbers, the film failed to meet the massive targets the makers had hoped for due to its high production and distribution costs. Now, reports indicate that OG 2 will be produced by Pawan Kalyan in association with People Media Factory, replacing the original production setup led by DVV Entertainments. The development is said to come after alleged disagreements between director Sujeeth and producer DVV Danayya over budget overruns during the making of OG. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Reports claim that director Sujeeth had initially planned to begin work on OG 2 after completing Nani's Bloody Romeo. However, with delays surrounding the actor's The Paradise, the director is now reportedly expected to prioritise the sequel first. Interestingly, Pawan Kalyan is also said to be actively participating in script discussions for OG 2. The makers had earlier hinted at expanding the OG Universe with future sequels and prequels, and the actor's direct involvement could play a crucial role in shaping the franchise moving forward. With Pawan Kalyan potentially taking charge as producer, industry insiders believe the sequel could benefit from tighter creative control and smoother production planning. An official announcement regarding the complete cast, crew, and shooting schedule is expected soon.

Tumbadchi Manjula has officially completed its second week at the box office, emerging as a profitable venture for its makers. Directed by Vishal Devrukhkar, who is widely recognized for the successful Boyz franchise, the film brings together village folklore and high-energy slapstick comedy. Starring Siddharth Jadhav in a leading role, the horror-comedy has managed to resonate well with its target audience, particularly in the regional circuits. As of the end of its 14th day, the film has achieved a total worldwide gross collection of ₹13.13 Cr, all of which has come from the domestic market. In terms of India net collections, the movie stands at ₹11.50 Cr. These numbers have been achieved across 7,915 shows nationwide. Given that the project was produced on an estimated budget of ₹6 Cr, the current collections indicate that the film has comfortably moved into the profit zone within its first two weeks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The second week proved to be a period of strong stability for the film. It collected approximately ₹5.65 Cr net during this window, with the second weekend providing a significant boost. The film saw its highest single-day collection on the second Sunday (Day 10), netting ₹1.73 Cr with an impressive 52% occupancy. Even more encouraging for a regional title is its performance in national multiplex chains, where it sold over 19,800 tickets during the second week alone. The journey began on a steady note when the film opened with ₹54 lakh net on its first Friday. This performance earned it the spot for the fourth-highest opening for a Marathi film in 2026, trailing only behind major releases like Raja Shivaji, Deool Band 2, and krantijyoti vidyalay marathi madhyam. The consistent word-of-mouth regarding Siddharth Jadhav's comedic timing and the spooky-yet-funny narrative has helped the film maintain its pace against these larger competitors. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The plot itself is rooted in a rustic regional backdrop, focusing on a group of villagers who inadvertently cross paths with a localized supernatural entity named Manjula. The film blends traditional superstitions with situational comedy, as the characters navigate the chaos caused by their own predicaments. By balancing spooky encounters with humor, the film has successfully captured a wide audience base, ensuring a healthy theatrical run as it enters its third week.

Deool Band 2 has just completed its fourth week at the box office, and the numbers indicate a remarkably stable run for a regional film. As of the end of day 29, the movie has reached a total India net collection of 69.97 Cr. This performance is particularly impressive considering it has been achieved across more than 40,000 shows nationwide. While the daily collections have naturally settled into a lower range, the film is showing a level of resilience that few expected when it first released. Looking at the week 4 totals, the film added 6.22 Cr to its domestic net. The latter half of the week showed high stability, with day 29 matching the previous day net of 0.35 Cr. This steady pace is supported by strong ticket sales on digital platforms. On BookMyShow alone, the film has sold over 2.21 million tickets to date, with nearly 9,000 tickets being booked in the last 24 hours. For a Marathi project, moving over 24,000 tickets in national multiplex chains during its fourth week is a very positive indicator of sustained interest. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's trajectory has been marked by a very steady holding power, allowing it to maintain momentum even as it enters its second month.

With its current net at 69.97 Cr, it needs just about one more crore to beat the 71 Cr net record of Raja Shivaji. What makes this achievement standout is the difference in scale; while Raja Shivaji was a much larger production, Deool Band 2 has reached this milestone in just one month primarily through strong word-of-mouth. If it manages to cross that threshold, it will officially become the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As it stands, the film is trailing only behind the all-time leaders Sairat, which holds the top spot at 80.97 Cr net, and Baipan Bhari Deva at 76 Cr. Given the current trajectory, the third-place spot looks well within reach. The film ability to maintain a gross collection of 82.19 Cr entirely from the domestic market, with no overseas contribution, speaks volumes about its deep penetration into its core audience. The next few days will be crucial in determining if it can finalise its climb up the all-time charts.

Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi has officially wrapped up its second week in theaters, maintaining a steady presence across the domestic and international markets. As of the end of its 15th day, the film has reached a worldwide gross collection of 322.65 Cr. While the initial momentum has naturally slowed down as the film enters its third week, the cumulative performance highlights the strong pull the project has had in the Telugu-speaking regions. On its 15th day, which was the third Thursday, the film added 2.30 Cr to its worldwide gross, showing a measured 18.4% drop from the previous day. When we look specifically at the second-week performance, the film managed to collect a worldwide gross of 40.10 Cr. This is a significant contribution that helped push the total India gross to 270.05 Cr and the total India net to 228.00 Cr. The film has occupied nearly 99,444 shows since its release, a massive footprint that has allowed it to tap into both urban and rural audiences. The second week saw a more stabilized trend compared to the high-energy first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The state-wise breakdown for the second week shows that the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (APTG) markets remain the primary engines for the film's business. Here is how the gross collections were distributed across major territories during the second week: Andhra Pradesh & Telangana: ₹29.40 Cr Karnataka: ₹4.60 Cr Rest of India: ₹5.29 Cr Tamil Nadu: ₹0.81 Cr The ticketing trends on BookMyShow provide another layer of insight into the film's longevity. By the end of the second week, Peddi secured a total of 3.74 million ticket bookings on the platform, placing it sixth on the all-time list of highly tracked films, just behind titles like Hanuman and Devara. During the second week alone, the daily bookings fluctuated from a high of 1.57 Lakh on the second Sunday to around 26,000 on the third Thursday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national multiplex chains, the trend took a more visible dip. After maintaining decent numbers earlier in the week, sales in major chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis saw a sharp decline. From selling 14,000 tickets on day 12 and 22,000 on day 13, the volume dropped significantly toward the end of the week. Despite this, the total tickets sold in these national chains for the entirety of Week 2 stood at over 56,800, which helped in keeping the urban gross stable during the transition into the third week.

Peddi now needs approximately 27 Cr more to surpass the global lifetime gross of Pushpa: The Rise and secure a spot among the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. Achieving this milestone will depend largely on how well the film holds its ground during the upcoming third weekend.

While Peddi has managed to cross the $3.4 million mark in North America after 13 days, the numbers tell a story of underperformance when placed against its high stakes. On the surface, surpassing the $3.38 million lifetime gross of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and becoming the top Telugu grosser of 2026 in this territory looks like a milestone. However, when we look at the actual economics, the film is struggling to justify its massive pre-release valuation in the overseas market. The North America breakeven target for this Ram Charan starrer was set at a staggering $6.5 million, which is roughly ₹62.22 crore. This was the highest target ever set for his solo lead films in this region, setting a very high bar for success. With the film currently trending toward an expected closing gross of approximately $3.50 million, it is clear that Peddi will fall significantly short of its recovery goal. Despite the top-ranking status for the current year, the wide gap between the target and the actual collection marks the film as a box office failure in the overseas circuit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The films current performance has allowed it to overtake the lifetime collections of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which earned $3.38 million in the region. Reaching this total in less than two weeks shows a strong connection with the NRI audience and reflects the steady interest the film has maintained since its release. It is currently sitting at $3.42 million and is continuing to add to its tally as it nears the end of its second week. When looking at the all-time list of Telugu grossers in this market, Peddi has now entered the top tier. It is currently placed at the 12th spot, having moved past films like Bharat Ane Nenu and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.

Peddi is heading toward the end of its second week at the box office. On its fourteenth day, the film collected a gross of ₹2.83 crore across India. When we look at the previous day, where it earned ₹3.96 crore gross, there is a clear downward movement as the film nears the end of its second week. Most of the revenue continues to come from the Telugu states, but the drop indicates that the initial frenzy is now stabilizing into a steady run. Breaking down the state-wise gross for Day 14, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions contributed ₹2.10 crore. Other territories followed with Karnataka at ₹0.25 crore, Tamil Nadu at ₹0.08 crore, and the Rest of India bringing in ₹0.40 crore. Comparing these to Day 13, where APTG stood at ₹2.80 crore and the Rest of India was at ₹0.71 crore, it is evident that the Hindi and other language markets are seeing a steeper decline than the home market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of screen presence and viewer interest, Peddi held approximately 3,800 shows across India on Wednesday with an overall occupancy of 17 percent. In major hubs like Hyderabad, the Telugu version maintained a decent 17.3 percent occupancy from 379 shows. Meanwhile, the Hindi version in the National Capital Region saw 9.8 percent occupancy across 89 shows, and Surat recorded a lower 3.8 percent. These numbers reflect a film that is performing well in its primary market while finding it tougher to sustain momentum in the North. The total India net collection of ₹226 crore shows a heavy reliance on the Telugu version, which has contributed ₹200.48 crore. The Hindi dub has performed decently with ₹21.57 crore so far. Contributions from other languages include ₹1.96 crore from the Tamil version, ₹1.69 crore from Kannada, and ₹0.30 crore from Malayalam. These figures clarify that while the film has made an impact across multiple markets, its core strength remains the Telugu audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The ticket sales on BookMyShow also tell a similar story. After selling 43.03K tickets on its second Tuesday, the count moved to 27.71K on the second Wednesday. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to 3,709,770. This consistent interest has helped the film cross a significant milestone in its home language, officially entering the 200 crore net club in Telugu alone. Looking at the performance in national multiplex chains, Peddi sold nearly 2,800 tickets across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis on Wednesday. This resulted in a total gross of approximately ₹7 lakh from 780 shows. Among the chains, INOX contributed the most with 1,400 tickets sold and a gross of ₹3 lakh. PVR and Cinepolis followed with 770 and 660 tickets respectively, each adding about ₹2 lakh to the tally. With an overall occupancy of 2 percent in these urban centers, it is clear that the films current momentum is largely driven by single screens and regional circuits.

According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America total has reached $3.42 million after a $66K Tuesday. Based on early estimates, the total overseas gross now stands at ₹52.45 crore.

Peddi has reached an overseas gross of 52.20 crore after thirteen days in theaters. This total puts the film within reach of the all-time top ten list for Telugu cinema in international markets. Currently, Hanu-Man occupies the tenth spot with 57 crore, meaning Peddi requires a little under 5 crore to surpass that mark and enter the rankings. While the film is approaching this milestone, the current daily numbers suggest it will take some time to bridge the remaining gap. Here is how the top ten list currently looks for the highest-grossing Telugu movies overseas: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 371.16 Cr RRR - 314.15 Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 275.00 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 271.00 Cr Baahubali: The Beginning - 134.00 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 130.00 Cr Saaho - 92.00 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 77.00 Cr They Call Him OG - 65.25 Cr Hanu-Man - 57.00 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite being close to the top ten, the financial outlook for the film is quite complicated. According to reports from Venky Box Office, the film recorded 13,000 dollars [~₹11 Lakh] this past Monday in North America, bringing its total in that region to 3.35 million dollars [~₹28.14 Crore]. The trade perspective on this is quite sobering; the closing number is likely to settle near what was originally expected from the opening day alone. It is a significant shock for the industry, especially considering the initial high expectations, and it suggests a need for a market correction regarding the buying prices of overseas rights. The total overseas breakeven target for Peddi was estimated to be around 85 crore. With the current momentum, it appears the film will end its run with a loss of approximately 25 to 30 crore. The North American market alone had a breakeven goal of 6.5 million dollars [~₹54.60 Crore] across all languages, but reaching that target seems highly unlikely at the current daily pace. This gap between the target and the actual performance highlights the challenges big-budget projects face in sustaining interest beyond the first weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we examine the day-wise overseas collections, the slowing momentum becomes very clear. The film had a strong start with 28 crore on its first day, but the numbers began to drop significantly after the first weekend.

Peddi, On its thirteenth day, recorded a gross collection of 3.96 crore across India. When we compare this to the 4.73 crore gross it earned on Monday, it indicates a drop of roughly 16.2 percent. However, we are starting to see the momentum visibly slow down now. While a drop on a working Tuesday is expected, this cooling trend suggests the long-term legs of the film might be under pressure, which isn't the best sign for its extended theatrical run.It is also clear that the movie is maintaining a steady grip on the domestic market without any sudden collapse in numbers. If we look into the language-wise performance, the Telugu version remains the primary driver. It contributed 2.75 crore on day 13 with an occupancy rate of 23 percent. Meanwhile, the Hindi version brought in 0.60 crore. Interestingly, the occupancy in certain regions tells a localized story. While Hyderabad saw nearly 20 percent occupancy across 404 shows, Vizag-Visakhapatnam stood out with a much stronger 38.8 percent. Even the National Capital Region for the Hindi version held up well with 21.5 percent occupancy, showing that the film still has a pulse in major urban centers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the gross figures, the day 13 gross stands at 3.96 crore. The lion's share came from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with 2.80 crore.

On the net side, the total domestic collection has reached 223.55 crore after two weeks of theatrical run across over 91,000 shows. One of the biggest achievements for Peddi is its climb up the all-time charts in the Telugu states. With a total gross of 201.45 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film has officially broken into the top ten list. It has surpassed Sankranthiki Vasthunam to take the ninth spot.

This total is supported by massive audience engagement, with BookMyShow reporting over 43,000 tickets sold on Tuesday alone, bringing the platform’s total to over 3.68 million tickets since its release. If we look specifically at the performance within national chains for day 13, the numbers show a settling trend. In PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, the film sold a total of 5,100 tickets, generating a gross of 8.55 lakh. PVR led this segment with 2,232 tickets, followed closely by Inox with 2,112. The overall occupancy in these chains stood at 3.40 percent across 745 shows. While these figures represent the standard cooling of a big-budget project in its second week, they emphasize that the majority of the film's weight is being carried by single screens and regional circuits rather than the major urban chains.

Peddi has entered its second Monday with expected stability, following a strong performance over its second weekend. The film earned a gross collection of ₹4.73 crore on Day 12, marking a 55.8% drop from the previous day's gross collection of ₹10.70 crore. This is a standard trend for big-ticket films on a second Monday after a heavy weekend run. With 4,164 shows currently running across India, the film has reached a total India gross collection of ₹260.96 crore and a net collection of ₹220.10 crore. The state-wise gross breakdown for the day shows that the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions remain the backbone of the film success, contributing ₹3.35 crore. Karnataka saw a gross of ₹0.55 crore, while Tamil Nadu brought in ₹0.10 crore. Other parts of the country, categorized as the rest of India, accounted for a gross of ₹0.73 crore. Within this segment, the Hindi version managed a net collection of just ₹0.60 crore on its 12th day. It is quite evident that the Hindi version is underperforming, and the occupancy data reflects this struggle in the northern belt. For instance, in the National Capital Region, the film saw an overall occupancy of 11.8 percent across 100 shows. Other major cities like Ahmedabad and Surat also saw low engagement, with overall occupancies of 13 percent and 6.8 percent respectively. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, early estimates suggest that the film collected approximately ₹0.35 crore overseas on its 12th day, taking the total overseas gross to around ₹51.85 crore.

The Telugu version of the film is performing exceptionally well and is very close to hitting the ₹200 crore net mark. As of Day 12, the Telugu net stands at ₹195.70 crore.

Deool Band 2 is currently in its fourth week of release and continues to show impressive longevity at the box office. On its 26th day, which fell on a Monday, the film saw a typical weekday dip, recording an India net collection of 0.50 crore. This represents a 72.2% drop from Sunday's 1.80 crore. With 879 shows running on Monday, the film has brought its total India net collection to 68.72 crore, with the total India gross reaching 80.75 crore. The film's performance is particularly noteworthy when we look at the all-time rankings in Marathi cinema. Deool Band 2 is currently chasing a major milestone: becoming the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time in terms of net collections. It is currently just over 2 crore away from overtaking the Marathi net of Raja Shivaji, which stands at 70.98 crore. While Raja Shivaji had a much higher total across all languages and global markets due to its multi-language release, Deool Band 2 is competing purely on its Marathi strength. Surpassing Raja Shivaji's worldwide total of 117.92 crore is out of reach, but the Marathi net record is well within its grasp.
