Hyderabad, June 23 - Superstar Ram Charan's latest big-screen outing Peddi may have emerged as the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026, but the film's theatrical journey has also sparked a larger conversation around cinema affordability in India. Amid reports of mixed audience reactions and fluctuating collections after a record-breaking opening, discussions around expensive theatre snacks have gained momentum online. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi opened to massive fanfare and crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide on its first day itself. The movie showed decent momentum during the opening weekend, but collections started dropping once the weekend was over, and despite the massive opening day, the film has grossed around 330 crores worldwide in 19 days so far, which is a kind of mixed result. As conversations around the film's performance intensified, social media users and cinema enthusiasts also began discussing the rising cost of watching movies in theatres. High popcorn and beverage prices have become a recurring complaint among Indian moviegoers, with many arguing that inflated food costs discourage repeat viewing, particularly for family audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Industry observers believe that reducing concession prices could help theatres improve audience retention, especially when films depend heavily on long theatrical runs rather than opening weekend collections alone. The debate gained further traction as Peddi attempted to sustain momentum by adding nearly six minutes of fresh footage during its third week in cinemas. The discussion surrounding popcorn pricing or even ticket prices reflects a broader issue facing the exhibition industry today: while big-budget spectacles continue to draw opening crowds, maintaining audience interest over several weeks increasingly depends on making the overall theatre experience more affordable and accessible.

Mumbai, June 22 - The June 19–21 weekend delivered an exciting mix of Bollywood entertainers, Telugu dramas, and international thrillers at the Indian box office. Leading the charts comfortably was Cocktail 2, which emerged as the highest-grossing film of the weekend with a strong 57.50 crore gross collection in its debut frame. Backed by strong advance bookings, hit music, and impressive youth appeal, the romantic drama dominated multiplexes across the country to score one of the biggest opening weekends for a romantic comedy film at the domestic box office. The advances for Monday were good, hinting at a good hold on the crucial working day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In second place was Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Telugu film Maa Inti Bangaaram, which collected an impressive 26.75 crore gross over its opening weekend. The action comedy received positive word-of-mouth and performed exceptionally well in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, exceeding expectations. Samantha's powerful comeback performance played a major role in attracting audiences to theatres. Bollywood period love story drama Main Vaapas Aaunga witnessed a massive turnaround in its second weekend and secured the third spot with 14.25 crore gross this past weekend. Despite competition from bigger commercial releases, the Imtiaz Ali-directed flick managed to turn the tables due to the ever-growing positive word of mouth among the family audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, Malayalam drama Balan: The Boy scored an unexpected good weekend, grossing around 8.25 crores in its opening weekend domestically. Ram Charan's sports action entertainer Peddi witnessed a further drop but managed to stay in the top 5 weekend grossers with around 7.25 crores gross. Overall, the June 19–21 weekend once again highlighted the growing diversity of Indian cinema, with both Hindi and Telugu, along with other regional films, drawing strong crowds across regions. While Cocktail 2 emerged as the clear winner, films like Maa Inti Bangaaram and Main Vaapas Aaunga proved that strong storytelling and audience connection continue to drive box office success.

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.

On the 15th day, overseas collections added approximately 0.15 Cr. While the domestic market is currently driving the majority of the business, the combined worldwide total now stands at 322.65 Cr. 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. The film is now chasing the numbers set by Rangasthalam, which is the next target on the list.

Hyderabad, June 18 - Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi is already in its second week in theatres, and the film's overall reception has been noticeably mixed despite the massive pre-release hype surrounding it. While the movie opened strongly on the back of star power and aggressive promotions, the momentum appears to have slowed after the initial weekend as audience reactions became more divided. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, considering the fading momentum at the box office, the makers have announced additional footage which will be attached to the already existing runtime from today (June 18). The movie is already nearing the end of its second week, and it has been in the unwanted controversy amid the mixed box office results. Newly inserted scenes are reportedly intended to enhance emotional depth and strengthen certain character arcs, based on audience feedback. The move once again highlights a familiar trend in Telugu cinema. Whenever a film fails to meet the industry's towering expectations, filmmakers often turn to post-release additions such as extended scenes, restored deleted footage, or modified edits in an attempt to revive audience interest. These revised versions are usually marketed as "improved cuts," creating fresh discussion around the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, past results show that such gimmicks rarely make any significant impact on a movie's long-term box office prospects. In today's social media era, audience verdicts are formed within the first few days itself. Once word-of-mouth settles, changing public perception becomes extremely difficult. At best, additional footage may generate temporary curiosity among hardcore fans, but it seldom changes the overall theatrical fate of a film. In the case of Peddi, the six added minutes may slightly improve the viewing experience for audiences still watching the film in theatres. But expecting the additional runtime to dramatically alter the film's commercial trajectory may be unrealistic. Ultimately, a film's success depends on strong storytelling and emotional connection — not on post-release patchwork designed to manage perception after the first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has already grossed around 320 crores worldwide in 14 days, which is otherwise a decent performance, thanks to a good performance in the Telugu states. However, the film needs to score way more than this worldwide to emerge as a clean box office hit, which is looking tough at this moment. After the initial rush, the box office momentum is slowing down, and if the additional footage also fails to improve buzz, the movie may be heading to an average affair.

The music for Peddi, composed by A. R. Rahman, has carved out a significant presence on the regional streaming charts, particularly in Hyderabad. According to the latest data from Spotify, multiple tracks from the film are currently occupying top spots, showing a clear divide between the viral commercial hits and the narrative-driven background songs. While the entire album is seeing engagement, it is primarily two specific singles that are driving the bulk of the digital volume. Chikiri Chikiri is undeniably the leader of the pack. With around 284 million plays across various audio and video platforms, it has secured a position within the Top 5 on the Spotify Local Pulse Hyderabad chart. This track has transitioned from a movie song to a public staple, appearing frequently in local transport and social media reels. Being featured on major curation hubs like Trending Now Telugu has given it a level of visibility that most regional tracks struggle to maintain after the initial week. Then we have Hellallallo, which is performing as a strong promotional asset. Currently sitting in the Top 15 on Spotify, this song gained massive traction through its video campaign, which featured names like Ram Charan, Shruti Haasan, and Janhvi Kapoor. The initial blitz saw it pull in 18 million views in just 11 hours, and its total audio plays now hover around 57 million. While it doesn't quite match the sheer volume of Chikiri Chikiri, its energetic choreography has kept it viral among the younger audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Rai Rai Raa Raa presents an interesting case of post-release growth. As a track that supports the movie's primary sports-action sequences, it has seen a sharp increase in listener volume since audiences experienced the film in theaters. It is currently placed in the Top 30 on the charts with 94 million plays. This resurgence suggests that the cinematic experience is directly influencing streaming habits, as fans return to the music to relive high-energy moments from the film. On the quieter side of the album, Massa Massa is maintaining a steadier but lower profile. It is currently in the Top 50 on the local charts with 11 million plays. This song serves more as a narrative-heavy background piece rather than a commercial single designed for the charts. While it doesn't have the explosive numbers of the dance tracks, its presence in the Top 50 shows that the dramatic portion of Rahman's score is still finding an audience. Looking at the broader picture, these tracks are currently competing for apex space with major hits like Kissik and Sooseki from Pushpa 2: The Rule. It is clear that Chikiri Chikiri and Hellallallo are doing the heavy lifting for the album on the Hyderabad regional charts. While some songs are narrative-driven and others are commercial juggernauts, the soundtrack is managing to hold its ground in a very competitive regional market.

Mumbai, June 15 - The Indian box office witnessed a competitive weekend from June 12 to 14, with a mix of holdover releases and new arrivals attracting audiences across the country. While Ram Charan's Peddi comfortably retained the top position, the biggest success stories of the weekend were Obsession and Haunted 3D, both of which delivered impressive numbers and continued the recent dominance of horror films at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi emerged as the highest-grossing film of the weekend, collecting an estimated 26.30 crore during the three days. Although the film experienced a noticeable drop from its opening weekend, it continued to attract audiences in Telugu states and remained the top choice among moviegoers. The sports-action drama has already established itself as one of the year's biggest box office successes and is continuing its run despite growing competition. Hollywood horror thriller Obsession secured the second spot with an excellent 17.70 crore weekend. The film once again demonstrated extraordinary staying power, registering strong occupancy across major urban centres. The horror title has become one of the biggest surprise successes of the year in India and is steadily moving toward the 100 crore milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the new releases, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past delivered the strongest performance. The horror sequel collected approximately 11 crore over its opening weekend and emerged as the best-performing newcomer. The interest in the horror genre helped the film overcome limited screen presence and establish itself as a successful theatrical release. Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai put up a decent performance in the second weekend, though the overall collection is still underwhelming. Rounding out the top five was Steven Spielberg's sci-fi Hollywood thriller Disclosure Day.

Hyderabad, June 15 - Superstar Ram Charan's sports action drama Peddi continues its decent run, and in this process, it has achieved a notable milestone at the worldwide box office by overtaking Tamil blockbuster Karuppu to emerge as the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi opened to strong numbers in the Telugu states and delivered a solid first weekend. However, the film has experienced a noticeable slowdown on weekdays, especially outside Telugu states, resulting in a decent rather than blockbuster theatrical run so far. In 11 days so far, Peddi has grossed 308 crores worldwide, and by the time of penning this piece, it has outgrossed Karuppu (308+ crore) to become the biggest South Indian grosser of the year. While the collections have remained steady enough to cross the 300 crore mark and Karuppu's running total, the film is still some distance away from achieving the larger milestones that many had initially projected. Despite the moderate trend after the opening weekend, Peddi deserves credit for becoming the year's top-grossing South Indian release and delivering much better numbers than Ram Charan's disastrous Game Changer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi benefited from Ram Charan's star power, positive audience reception in its core markets, and the lack of major competition during its first week. These factors helped it edge past Karuppu and claim the top spot among South Indian films released in 2026 (so far). The achievement is significant for Ram Charan, who adds a decent performer to his filmography after back-to-back box office duds, in the form of Game Changer and Acharya (extended role). However, Peddi's journey is far from over. With a reported break-even target considerably higher than its current worldwide total, the film will need to maintain a respectable hold in the coming days to improve its theatrical outcome. For now, Peddi can celebrate an important record. By crossing the 308 crore worldwide mark and overtaking Karuppu, the sports action entertainer has officially become the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2026, even if its overall box-office trajectory has been steadier than spectacular.

Hyderabad, June 14 - Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi has scripted a major milestone at the box office by overtaking Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu to become the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2026 worldwide.

With strong collections from the Telugu states and decent performance in the rest of the markets, Peddi has managed to edge ahead to become the biggest Telugu grosser of the year. The film took an excellent opening at the worldwide box office and followed it up with a good opening weekend. Driven by massive anticipation and solid audience interest in the Telugu states, Peddi quickly emerged as one of the biggest openers of the year. Its impressive start laid the foundation for a successful theatrical run and helped it race past several major milestones within its first two weeks. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the film's trajectory has not been uniform across all markets. While Peddi has continued to collect decent numbers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during the weekdays, its performance in the rest of India and overseas territories has been comparatively underwhelming. The Telugu version remains the primary driver of the film's business, with other language markets contributing only modestly to the overall total. Despite crossing 300 crore worldwide and emerging as the year's biggest Telugu grosser, the film is still some distance away from achieving full commercial success. According to trade estimates, Peddi carries a break-even target of nearly 500 crore worldwide, meaning the film remains well short of the mark required to recover its overall costs through theatrical revenues alone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Nevertheless, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2026 is a major achievement for Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana.

Global Star Ram Charan's sports drama, Peddi, has entered its tenth day at the box office with its sights set on a major domestic milestone. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring Janhvi Kapoor, the film has already established itself as a significant solo success for the lead star. After a resilient performance on its second Friday, the movie is now leveraging the weekend surge to solidify its position in the 200 crore club. If you have been tracking the numbers closely, you will notice that the film's stability in its home territory has been the primary reason it remains a top choice for the audience into the second week. Live Now The transition from the first week to the second has been smooth for the project. By maintaining a steady pace even during the working days, Peddi has managed to stay ahead of several other big-ticket releases from the current year. As we move into the second Saturday, the booking trends suggest a notable jump in footfalls across urban centers and mass circuits alike. The film is not just holding its ground in the Telugu states but is also showing a consistent, albeit smaller, presence in neighboring markets like Karnataka and the Hindi-speaking belts. Reflecting on the Day 9 performance, Peddi managed a domestic gross of ₹6.03 Cr, bringing its total India Gross to ₹235.98 Cr. The film recorded a manageable 18.3% drop from Thursday, which is a standard trend for big-budget entertainers entering their second week. The Telugu version remains the primary engine of growth, with healthy occupancy reported in major urban centers and mass circuits alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Globally, the film has achieved an early estimate total of ₹285.98 Cr in worldwide gross. With the second Saturday and Sunday expected to see a significant spike in footfalls, the film is poised to breach the 300 Cr worldwide mark shortly.

It is now setting its sights on the lifetime record of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu (#MSVPG), which holds a gross of $3.48M in the region. Currently, Peddi needs approximately $250K more to surpass the #MSVPG record and move higher up the all-time list. With a jump in the second Saturday and Sunday collections, the film has a very high probability of achieving this target by the end of its second weekend. 12:30 (IST) 13 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 10 Live Update: Film Ranks 8th in All-Time First 9 Days Net; India Net hits ₹199.52 Cr As of Saturday afternoon, Peddi is witnessing a strong jump in footfalls across 1,049 shows.

LIVE BLOG: PEDDI DAY 9 UPDATES 16:15 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 9 Live Update: Afternoon booking trends shows decent stability; India Gross climbs to ₹231.79 Cr As we head into the evening of the second Friday, Peddi is showing an impressively stable trajectory. The film is currently running across 1,907 shows and has already collected a live net of ₹1.56 Cr for the day. This pushes the total India Gross to ₹231.79 Cr and the India Net to ₹195.11 Cr. The BookMyShow (BMS) data further reinforces this stability. During the 3 PM to 4 PM window today, the film sold 4,080 tickets, slightly edging out yesterday's 4,060 tickets during the same slot. Looking at the cumulative daily trend from 7 AM to 4 PM, Peddi has recorded 35,650 ticket sales today compared to 35,590 sales yesterday. 13:00 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Milestone: Film becomes the 5th Tollywood outing to cross 3 Million ticket sales on BookMyShow in Week 1 While the discussion continues regarding its Pan-India performance, the ground-level footfalls for Peddi remain historic. The film has officially become only the 5th Tollywood film in history to cross the massive 3 Million tickets sold mark on BookMyShow during its first week. Finishing the week with 3.18 Million tickets, it joins an elite list previously occupied only by event-scale blockbusters like Pushpa 2, Kalki 2898AD, Salaar, and Devara. 12:30 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 9 Live Update: India Gross crosses ₹230 Cr; Hindi version nears ₹25 Cr milestone but trails RRR significantly As of Friday afternoon, Peddi is currently playing across 973 shows and has already added a live net of ₹0.42 Cr today. This brings the cumulative India Gross to ₹230.45 Cr and the total India Net to ₹193.97 Cr. The Hindi version currently stands at a gross of ₹20.55 Cr, nearing the ₹25 Cr milestone. However, this is quite underwhelming considering Ram Charan's massive reach following RRR, which had raked in a staggering ₹155.56 Cr Hindi gross in its first week alone. Similarly, in Karnataka, Peddi managed ₹24.38 Cr gross compared to RRR’s ₹52.60 Cr. While the film is a huge success in the Telugu states, the Global Star momentum hasn't translated into the same Hindi-belt frenzy as his previous outing. 10:45 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 9 Live Update: Record-breaking run in Kakinada; Film scores highest non-Rajamouli 1st week share The regional dominance of Peddi is becoming more evident as the first-week numbers from mass centers start rolling in. In Kakinada Town, the film has set an All-Time record by collecting a massive ₹1.85 Cr share in its first extended week. This is officially the highest-ever first-week share recorded for any film in the town, excluding those directed by SS Rajamouli. This historic performance in Andhra Pradesh mass circuits is helping the film bridge the gap toward its ambitious breakeven targets. 10:00 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 9 Live Update: Second Friday begins; India Gross inches closer to ₹230 Cr mark As of Friday morning (Day 9), Peddi has commenced its second week with 281 shows currently tracked for the early morning slots. The film has already added a live net of ₹0.02 Cr, pushing the Total India Gross to ₹229.97 Cr. The morning occupancy in the Telugu states remains healthy, suggesting that the film is poised for a significant jump in evening shows as the weekend crowd kicks in. 08:30 (IST) 12 JUN 2026 Peddi Day 8 Recap: Telugu version dominates with ₹5.30 Cr gross; Worldwide total hits ₹279 Cr Final reports for Day 8 (Thursday) confirm that Peddi maintained its dominance in the South. The APTG (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana) gross stood at ₹5.30 Cr, while Karnataka contributed ₹0.55 Cr. The Hindi version, playing across 3,557 shows, added a net of ₹1.10 Cr. With a steady overseas collection of ₹0.60 Cr yesterday, the Worldwide Gross has reached ₹279.35 Cr. The film's ability to hold over 7,400 shows into the eighth day highlights the strong demand for this Ram Charan starrer. @keyframes pulse { 0% { opacity: 1; } 50% { opacity: 0.2; } 100% { opacity: 1; } } .blinking-dot { height: 7px; width: 7px; background-color: white; border-radius: 50%; display: inline-block; animation: pulse 1.2s infinite ease-in-out; } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "LiveBlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi Box Office Collection Day 9 Live Update", "description": "Live updates for Ram Charan's Peddi Day 9 box office collections and gross reports.", "liveBlogUpdate": [ { "@type": "BlogPosting", "headline": "Peddi crosses 229 Cr India Gross", "datePublished": "2026-06-12T10:00:00+05:30", "articleBody": "Peddi has officially reached a cumulative India gross of 229.97 Cr as of Day 9 morning updates." } ] }

Global Star Ram Charan has officially wrapped up the first extended week of his latest sports drama, Peddi, and the numbers tell a story of consistent performance rather than just a one-day wonder. As we step into the second week, it is important to look at how this Buchi Babu Sana directorial is positioning itself among the elite club of Telugu blockbusters. While the current totals are undeniably significant, the film now faces a critical period where it must sustain high daily holds to align with its ambitious theatrical targets Peddi - Day-wise India Gross Collection Report DAY INDIA GROSS COLLECTION Day 0 (Wed) ₹ 21.83 Cr Day 1 (Thu) ₹ 60.66 Cr Day 2 (Fri) ₹ 32.00 Cr Day 3 (Sat) ₹ 34.88 Cr Day 4 (Sun) ₹ 38.24 Cr Day 5 (Mon) ₹ 14.66 Cr Day 6 (Tue) ₹ 11.37 Cr Day 7 (Wed) ₹ 8.89 Cr Day 8 (Thu) ₹ 7.42 Cr Total India Gross ₹ 229.95 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On its eighth day, the film collected a net of 6.30 crore across India. While this represents a 16.6 percent drop from the previous day’s 7.55 crore, it is actually a very standard trend for a big-budget movie in the middle of a working week. What is more impressive is that the movie still commanded over 7,412 shows across the country. This consistent screening count is a clear indicator that exhibitors still have high confidence in the film as it enters its second weekend. To give you a broader perspective on the total earnings, the India gross collection has now touched 229.95 crore, while the India net stands at 193.55 crore. When we look at the global picture, the overseas market has contributed 49.40 crore so far, pushing the total worldwide gross to 279.35 crore. Essentially, the film is now less than 21 crore away from the prestigious 300 crore worldwide milestone, a feat that looks very achievable within the second weekend.
