As per Vriddhi Cinemas, Peddi's Day 1 worldwide gross stands at Rs 135 Cr. The film's footfalls continued to rise on Day 1 (June 4) after terrific premiere show performance everywhere. The new banner, led by Venkata Satish Kilaru, described the film as a "box office champion". The film is presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings.
Ram Charan's performance and intensity have been lauded by the audience. "His screen presence, his dedication and his ability to evoke the viewer's sympathy have humanized his character to a great degree," an audience member stated.
The film is Buchi Babu Sana's second cinema outing. His maiden venture, Uppena, had two extraordinary merits: the unexpected plot twist involving the male lead, and Devi Sri Prasad's melodies. Incidentally, the same can be said about Peddi: the unexpected plot twist involving the male lead, and AR Rahman's music.
Peddi accords enough screen time to the characters played by Divyenndu, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu. Janhvi Kapoor, Upendra Limaye, John Vijay, and Tarak Ponnappa have different roles. Rao Ramesh and Srikanth Iyengar have lesser relevance. The climax monologue by Peddi has been treated as a highlight by the audience.
A success meet is going to be planned soon. Megastar Chiranjeevi is likely to grace the event as the chief guest.
