Even though popular filmmaker Buchi Babu Sana's much-appreciated sports drama Peddi has been embroided in a controversy for a few objectionable sequences featuring Janhvi Kapoor, the film continues to do well at the box office. Featuring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in key roles, the film has been performing well at the box office. As reported by Sacnilk.com, on day 8, the film collected a net of Rs 6.30 Cr across 7,412 shows. This brings total India gross collections to Rs 229.95 Cr and total India net collections to Rs 193.55 Cr so far. Overseas, the film collected Rs 0.60 Cr on Day 8, taking its total overseas gross to Rs 49.40 Cr so far. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to Rs 279.35 Cr.
Peddi day 7 box office update
On day 7, Peddi managed to mint Rs 7.55 crore, and its total India net collections amounted to Rs 187.25 crore. The sports drama had earned over Rs 60 crore during the opening weekend. However, ita collection dropped from Rs 9.70 crore on Tuesday to Rs 7.55 crore on Wednesday. On the opening day, Peddi earned its highest single-day collection. Even though the action sports drama was pitted against other releases like Varun Dhawan's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bobby Deol's Bandar, and the Hollywood film Obsession, nothing could impact Peddi.
Buchi Babu Sana reacts to film's 'misleading' shots
In a recent interview with Screen, Buchi Babu Sana talked about the criticism surrounding Janhvi Kapoor's character, Achiyyamma. He said, "In this film, I went a little radical, because Peddi comes from a remote place, somewhere far away from the hills. I wanted to show the rawness and later correct it in the end, saying that this guy is this way because of his upbringing and atmosphere. For such a character, he thinks he has to marry the woman he loves. In this process, a few shots turned misleading. We have taken corrective measures to remove them, and we have removed them." Buchi Babu had apologised and promised to make the corrections in the movie. He wrote on X, "I have always had immense respect for women, both on and off screen, and it was never our intention to objectify or disrespect any female character. If any part of the film has been perceived that way, we respect those sentiments, understand the concerns being raised, and sincerely apologise. Every woman deserves to be respected, valued, and represented with dignity. We remain committed to telling stories that celebrate strong characters and uphold those values."
