Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s latest outing, Peddi, has stormed into theatres this week with an unprecedented buzz. The sports-action drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana has not only impressed early viewers but also rewritten pre-sales history for South Indian films in 2026.

Record-Breaking Advance Sales

According to Sacnilk figures, Peddi has raked in a staggering ₹20.66 crore in advance bookings for its opening day, selling over 8.2 lakh tickets across India. These numbers skyrocket past all other Telugu releases this year, and it even ranks second among all Indian films in 2026.

Regional Trends Highlight Pan-India Appeal

Dominance in the Telugu Belt

As expected, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana led the charge, contributing the bulk of the bookings. Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings’ banner enjoyed a strong pull in cities like Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam, where screenings sold out within hours.

Hits Beyond Telugu Audiences

Peddi’s appeal has transcended regional boundaries, with significant advance sales in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and even Malayalam circuits. Karnataka’s metro audiences and Chennai’s multiplex-goers showed up in droves, signalling that the film’s sports-centric storyline resonates widely.

Peddi Among 2026’s Top Five Opening Pre-Sales

While Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 tops the charts with ₹53 crore, Peddi comfortably secures the second spot. Here’s the current leaderboard for bookings in Indian cinema this year:

Dhurandhar 2 – ₹53 crore
Peddi – ₹20.66 crore
The Raja Saab – ₹15.31 crore
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu – over ₹14 crore
Border 2 – ₹12.5 crore
