Peddi Box Office: Director Buchi Babu Apologises For Certain Scenes As Ram Charan Starrer Tops 150 Crore In 2 Days

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, June 6 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi had a solid hold on its second day after a massive opening despite facing criticism over certain portions of the film. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the big-budget Telugu entertainer has crossed the 150 crore mark worldwide within just two days of its theatrical release, emerging as one of the biggest openers of 2026. Peddi Crosses 150 Crore Worldwide (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After a sensational opening day of over 100 crores gross, Peddi maintained a strong hold on its second day and took its worldwide gross collection to approximately 150+ crore. It crossed the 100 crore gross mark on the second day, with the Telugu-speaking states contributing the majority of its earnings. The film had opened to a massive 110.50 crore worldwide gross on day one, giving Ram Charan one of the biggest openings of his career. Despite the expected drop on the second day, the overall momentum remains strong heading into the weekend, as the film will be eyeing 275 crores 4-day opening frame globally. Buchi Babu Sana Addresses Criticism (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the box office numbers have been encouraging, Peddi has also sparked debate online over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's character Achiyyamma and certain romantic scenes involving the lead pair. Responding to the criticism, director Buchi Babu Sana admitted that he did not expect the scenes to receive such a negative reaction from audiences. The filmmaker said that the intention was to present a playful romantic angle but acknowledged the concerns raised by viewers. He shared on X that after the feedback, they have decided to make changes to the concerned portions. His comments have generated significant discussion across social media, with many appreciating the director's willingness to acknowledge audience feedback.

The film's strong advance bookings, positive response to Ram Charan's performance, and holiday-season advantage are likely to help it maintain momentum in the coming days.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Box Office: Day 1 Earns 7.50 Crore; Becomes 5th Highest Opening Of 2026

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Varun Dhawan and director David Dhawan have officially returned to the big screen with their latest romantic comedy, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. This release marks a significant moment for the father-son duo, as it is their first theatrical collaboration in nine years. While they worked together on Coolie No. 1 in 2020, that film skipped cinemas for a direct-to-digital release. Therefore, the last time this pair saw a big-screen opening was with Judwaa 2 back in 2017, making the expectations for this film quite high. On its opening day, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai collected 7.50 crore net in India across 9,081 shows. While this is a decent start for a rom-com, the numbers suggest a mixed response when compared to Varun Dhawan's recent theatrical track record. The opening is slightly lower than his post-pandemic actioner Baby John, which started with 11.25 crore, and his previous solo lead film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which opened at 9.25 crore. Looking at his other post-COVID releases, the film has performed on par with Bhediya (7.48 crore) but stayed below the opening of JugJugg Jeeyo (9.28 crore). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's performance in national chains provides a clearer picture of the urban audience's interest. In the PIC (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) networks, the movie sold approximately 39,600 tickets on Day 1, resulting in a gross collection of 1.27 crore. PVR led the pack with nearly 21,000 tickets, followed by INOX with 12,700 and Cinepolis with 5,900. On BookMyShow, the film saw strong momentum with over 115,000 tickets sold in the last 24 hours alone, taking its total ticket sales on the platform to over 173,000. In terms of occupancy, the film saw its best footfalls in Mumbai and Bengaluru, both recording an overall occupancy of 23 percent. The National Capital Region (NCR) saw 15 percent occupancy across its 1,054 shows, while Lucknow followed closely with 21 percent. Other major markets like Pune and Ahmedabad stayed in the range of 16 to 19 percent. These numbers reflect a steady but not overwhelming start, indicating that the film will rely heavily on weekend growth and family audiences to pick up the pace. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Globally, the film has reached a worldwide gross of 11.00 crore. This includes an India gross of 9.00 crore and an overseas gross of 2.00 crore. Despite the tough competition in 2026, the film has managed to secure a spot in the top five opening days of the year so far. Here is how the leaderboard looks: Top 5 Hindi Film Openings of 2026 - Hindi NetMOVIE NAMEDAY 1 NET COLLECTIONDhurandhar 2: The Revenge₹ 99.10 CrBorder 2₹ 30.00 CrBhooth Bangla₹ 12.25 CrO Romeo₹ 8.50 CrHai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai₹ 7.50 Cr In terms of ranking among Varun Dhawan's theatrical releases in the post-pandemic era, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai stands as his fourth-best opening. It slots in behind Baby John, JugJugg Jeeyo, and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, while just edging out the opening day figures of Bhediya. To improve its commercial standing for the year, the film will now need to demonstrate a strong growth trend over the Saturday and Sunday period.

Blast Week 1 Box Office: Grosses Rs. 29.63 Cr To Become The 6th Highest Week 1 Collection Of 2026

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Blast has officially wrapped up its extended eight-day opening week, and the performance reflects a movie that is building a solid foundation in its ongoing theatrical run. Over these first eight days, the film managed to put up a strong total, securing the sixth spot among the highest week 1 collections in Kollywood for 2026. This is an impressive feat, as the movie has managed to carve out its own space and attract consistent footfalls. The momentum has been driven largely by robust collections in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with other regions providing the necessary support to keep the numbers ticking. To give you an idea of the scale of this opening, Blast saw over 18,869 shows during its first eight days. The audience response was particularly visible on the ticket booking platforms, with nearly 666,900 tickets sold on BookMyShow in the first week alone. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis contributed significantly as well, recording over 95,800 ticket sales during this extended period. The film ended its first week with a worldwide gross of 37.28 crore, including a healthy 7.65 crore from the overseas market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Here is a breakdown of the state-wise gross collections for the eight-day extended week: Tamil Nadu: ₹15.89 Cr Kerala: ₹7.36 Cr APTG: ₹3.81 Cr Karnataka: ₹2.39 Cr Rest of India: ₹0.18 Cr Blast - Extended Week 1 India Gross CollectionDAYINDIA GROSS COLLECTIONSHOWSDay 1 (1st Thursday)₹ 1.43 Cr1,728Day 2 (1st Friday)₹ 2.47 Cr1,889Day 3 (1st Saturday)₹ 5.23 Cr2,294Day 4 (1st Sunday)₹ 6.90 Cr2,706Day 5 (1st Monday)₹ 4.13 Cr2,707Day 6 (1st Tuesday)₹ 3.97 Cr2,746Day 7 (1st Wednesday)₹ 3.16 Cr2,544Day 8 (2nd Thursday)₹ 2.33 Cr2,255Week 1 Total₹ 29.63 Cr18,869 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Moving into the second week, the film showed a positive trend on its ninth day, which was the second Friday. It collected 2.11 crore net in India, marking a 3.9 percent growth from the previous day's collection of 2.03 crore. This brought the cumulative India net collection to 27.89 crore and the India gross to 32.05 crore. On the ninth day, the film played across 2,040 shows with an average occupancy of around 23.7 percent. In national chains specifically, the movie sold approximately 7,800 tickets on Day 9, yielding a gross of roughly 12 lakhs. Overseas performance remained consistent with 0.35 crore added on Friday, pushing the worldwide gross total to 40.05 crore. As mentioned earlier, Blast has entered the elite list of top week 1 performers for 2026. Here is the list of the top 10 movies based on their Week 1 Tamil Net collections so far this year: Karuppu: ₹96.10 Cr LIK: Love Insurance Kompany: ₹26.78 Cr Youth: ₹26.44 Cr Kara: ₹24.44 Cr Thaai Kizhavi: ₹23.95 Cr Blast: ₹22.20 Cr ThalaivarThambi Thalaimayil ₹19.75 Cr Mankatha: ₹11.70 Cr With Love: ₹11.67 Cr Vaa Vaathiyaare: ₹8.58 Cr As reported, the Tamil action thriller Blast was produced on an estimated budget of 18 crore. Having already surpassed this figure in net collections, the film's steady growth on its second Friday suggests a strong second weekend ahead. If it maintains this upward trend over Saturday and Sunday, it will likely climb the 2026 charts and further cement its position as a major commercial success this year.

Drishyam 3 Week 2 Box Office: Need 4 Crore To Surpass Vaazha 2 And Become 4th Highest Grossing Malayalam Movie Of All Time

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 has navigated through its first 16 days at the box office, and while the numbers remain impressive, we are seeing a clear shift in momentum. After a massive opening and a solid first week, the initial hype has started to settle down. This is partly because the word of mouth hasn’t been as explosive as the previous installments, leading to a quicker exhaustion of the urban audience than initially expected. However, reaching the hundred-crore mark in India net collections is a milestone that very few Malayalam films achieve, and Drishyam 3 has comfortably secured that spot. Let's break down how the film performed during its second week. Between Day 9 and Day 15, the movie managed to add a gross of ₹23.99 Cr to its tally. During this period, the film saw a steady stream of viewers, but the drops on weekdays were more noticeable. Across its entire run so far, the film has played in over 54,455 shows. The ticket sales on BookMyShow tell a story of two halves: while the first extended week saw a massive 2.52 million tickets sold, the second week saw that number drop to 576,000. For national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the second week saw over 69,600 tickets being sold. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The state-wise gross for the second week shows that Kerala remains the primary engine for this film, though other regions contributed fairly well before the slowdown began. Here is how the gross was distributed across India for Week 2: Kerala: ₹19.20 Cr Karnataka: ₹1.76 Cr Tamil Nadu: ₹1.19 Cr APTG (Andhra Pradesh/Telangana): ₹1.07 Cr Rest of India: ₹0.77 Cr Here is the performance breakdown for the second week leading into the third Friday: Drishyam 3 - India Net Collection BreakdownDAYINDIA NET COLLECTIONSHOWSDay 9 (2nd Friday)₹ 4.30 Cr2,524Day 10 (2nd Saturday)₹ 5.10 Cr2,570Day 11 (2nd Sunday)₹ 5.35 Cr2,454Day 12 (2nd Monday)₹ 2.20 Cr2,276Day 13 (2nd Tuesday)₹ 1.55 Cr2,142Day 14 (2nd Wednesday)₹ 1.25 Cr1,871Day 15 (3rd Thursday)₹ 0.93 Cr1,394Week 2 Total₹ 20.68 Cr15,231Day 16 (3rd Friday)₹ 0.80 Cr851Total India Net₹ 103.43 Cr54,455 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Talking about the third Friday, Day 16, the film collected ₹0.80 Cr net in India. This represents a 14 percent drop from the previous day's collection of ₹0.93 Cr. In the national chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film sold approximately 1,300 tickets on its sixteenth day, generating a gross of about ₹3.08 Lakhs with an occupancy of nearly 9 percent across 86 shows. On BookMyShow, the film recorded 30,570 ticket bookings for the day, bringing the total platform sales to over 3.76 million since release. The overseas market continues to be a massive pillar for Drishyam 3, providing a significant boost to its global standing. During the second week, the international performance remained quite healthy, especially over the weekend. The film collected 2.50 crore on Day 9, 2.75 crore on Day 10, and 2.25 crore on Day 11. As it moved into the weekdays, we saw the usual drop in collections, with 0.75 crore on Day 12, 0.60 crore on Day 13, 0.40 crore on Day 14, and 0.15 crore on Day 15. This brings the total overseas collection for the second week alone to a solid 9.40 crore. On its third Friday, Day 16, it added another 0.10 crore from international markets, taking the total overseas gross to 111.25 crore so far. When you combine this with the India gross of 120.01 crore, the worldwide total now stands at 231.26 crore, while the India net collection has reached 103.43 crore. Where does this put Drishyam 3 in the all-time rankings? Currently, it is chasing the record of Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros, which finished its run at ₹235.26 Cr worldwide. Drishyam 3 needs exactly 4.00 Cr more to overtake it and claim the fourth spot in the list of highest-grossing Malayalam movies. While it has already surpassed many big titles, it still has a climb ahead to reach the likes of Manjummel Boys at ₹241.03 Cr, L2: Empuraan at ₹266.81 Cr, and the chart-topper Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra at over ₹303 Cr. With the current trend, reaching the top three seems like a tough challenge, but crossing Vaazha 2 is definitely within reach over the next few days.

Karuppu Box Office: Suriya's Action Drama Tops 300 Crore Worldwide To Become 10th Tamil Film To Do So

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Chennai, June 5 - Suriya's latest action drama Karuppu has achieved a major milestone at the global box office by crossing the 300 crore gross mark worldwide. With this feat, the film has become only the 10th Tamil film in history to enter the prestigious club, further cementing Suriya's position among the biggest stars in Tamil cinema. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film has enjoyed a strong theatrical run across domestic and overseas markets since its release. Backed by positive word-of-mouth and solid occupancy in key territories, Karuppu continued to attract audiences well beyond its opening week, helping it surpass the significant 300 crore worldwide benchmark on its 22nd day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Landmark Achievement For Suriya The success of Karuppu marks another major box office milestone in Suriya's career. The actor has delivered several critically acclaimed films over the years, but Karuppu now stands as his first 300-crore grosser, beating his previous record holder by more than 2x margin. This has also become the first Tamil film of the year to hit the triple century. The film's performance has been driven by strong collections in Tamil Nadu, where it has topped 150 crores gross collection, while also getting healthy contributions from the rest of India and a blockbuster overseas run. It is the ninth film ever to reach the 150 crore mark in Tamil Nadu, and the first for Suriya to do so. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Joins An Elite Tamil Box Office Club Crossing 300 crore worldwide is a rare achievement for Tamil films. Only a handful of titles have managed to reach the mark, with blockbuster franchises and star-driven spectacles dominating the list. By entering this club, Karuppu joins an elite group of Tamil blockbusters that have set new standards for the industry's global box office potential. With the film still running in theatres, it is interesting to see how much further Karuppu can climb. While the day-wise trend is slowing down, the film still seems to have some gas left before wrapping up its theatrical run with around 310-315 crores worldwide. For now, the film's entry into the ₹300 crore worldwide club stands as a remarkable achievement and another major victory for Tamil cinema on the global stage.
