By 
Hyderabad, June 5 - Superstar Ram Charan has added another major milestone to his career with Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports action drama stormed past the coveted 100 crore worldwide gross mark on its opening day, becoming the 11th Telugu film to achieve the feat. The film earned around 110 crore worldwide on Day 1, including more than 82 crore from India and approximately 28 crore from overseas markets.
The 100 crores opening day achievement further cements Telugu cinema's dominance in the pan-Indian market, where event films have consistently delivered massive opening-day numbers over the last decade. What started with Baahubali 2 in 2017 has now become a benchmark for the industry's biggest releases.
Prabhas Continues To Rule The List
One of the most striking aspects of the elite club is the overwhelming presence of Pan India superstar Prabhas. The actor headlines six of the eleven films on the list, with Baahubali 2, Saaho, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD, and The Raja Saab. No other Telugu actor, or say an Indian actor, comes close to matching that level of representation.
Prabhas' consistent ability to deliver record-breaking openings across genres has made him the undisputed king of opening-day box-office records in Indian cinema. The remaining entries belong to some of the industry's biggest stars, including Ram Charan (RRR and Peddi), Jr NTR (RRR and Devara), Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2), and Pawan Kalyan (They Call Him OG).
₹100 Crore Telugu Openers Worldwide (Highest to Lowest)
| Rank | Movie | Lead Actor(s) | Opening Day Worldwide GBOC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pushpa 2 | Allu Arjun | ₹ 275.00 Cr |
| 2 | RRR | Jr. NTR / Ram Charan | ₹ 223.00 Cr |
| 3 | Baahubali 2 | Prabhas | ₹ 217.00 Cr |
| 4 | Kalki 2898 AD | Prabhas | ₹ 177.70 Cr |
| 5 | Salaar Part 1 | Prabhas | ₹ 158.10 Cr |
| 6 | They Call Him OG | Pawan Kalyan | ₹ 144.00 Cr |
| 7 | Devara | Jr. NTR | ₹ 142.00 Cr |
| 8 | Saaho | Prabhas | ₹ 130.00 Cr |
| 9 | Adipurush | Prabhas | ₹ 127.50 Cr |
| 10 | Peddi | Ram Charan | ₹ 110.50 Cr |
| 11 | The Raja Saab | Prabhas | ₹ 100.60 Cr |
A Major Milestone For Ram Charan
For Ram Charan, Peddi marks a particularly significant achievement. While RRR had previously crossed the 100 crore worldwide opening-day mark, it was a multi-starrer alongside Jr NTR and backed by the massive brand value of director S. S. Rajamouli.
Peddi becomes Charan's first solo-led film to enter the coveted club, proving his box office strength outside of franchise and multi-starrer setups. The opening also comes as a major boost for the actor following the disappointing theatrical performance of Game Changer earlier last year.
