After 11 days in theatres, the Hindi version of Peddi has collected an estimated Rs. 15.61 crore nett at the Indian box office. While the film opened on a modest note, it has displayed encouraging weekend holds, indicating that there is still an audience discovering the film.
The first weekend contributed Rs. 9.50 crore, accounting for nearly 61% of the current total. As expected, collections dropped sharply on the first Monday, but the film managed to stabilize through the weekdays before witnessing another healthy jump during its second weekend. The second Saturday and Sunday brought in Rs. 0.75 crore and Rs. 1.12 crore respectively, proving that family audiences continue to drive business over weekends.
With a total of Rs. 15.61 crore already in the kitty, Peddi Hindi now requires less than Rs. 4.5 crore to touch the Rs. 20 crore milestone. However, the challenge lies in sustaining weekday collections while facing fresh theatrical competition.
Based on current trends, the film is expected to collect around Rs. 1.8-2 crore during its second week, followed by another Rs. 1.5-2 crore over the remainder of its run. This points towards a lifetime finish in the Rs. 18.5-20 crore range, with approximately Rs. 19 crore emerging as the most likely outcome. If the film manages to hold exceptionally well over the coming weekdays, crossing Rs. 20 crore cannot be ruled out, though it presently appears to be an uphill task.
