Peddi Becomes No. 1 Highest-Selling South Indian Film Of 2026; Needs 1.13 Million Tickets To Beat HanuMan For Top 5 Spot

BY SACNILK

Peddi has reached a significant milestone by officially crossing the 200 crore net mark in India at the end of its eleventh day. While this looks impressive on paper, the film is currently navigating a tricky path at the box office. For a project mounted on such a massive scale, the performance is leaning toward underperforming, especially as it struggles to maintain high-level momentum outside its core territories. As of Day 11, the total India net collection stands at 216.00 crore. The films trajectory on BookMyShow offers some interesting insights into its audience engagement. Since the era of hourly trending data began on the platform, Peddi has now moved up to become the 7th best-selling Telugu movie of all time. By reaching a total of 3.59 million tickets sold over its first eleven days, it has successfully overtaken the lifetime sales of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which stood at 3.59 million. To give you a better sense of where the film stands among the biggest heavyweights at the end of their respective second weekends, here is the breakdown: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 Telugu Movies - BMS Ticket Sales RANKMOVIE NAMETICKETS SOLD (BMS)1Pushpa 220.21 M2Kalki 2898 AD13.14 M3Salaar7.17 M4Devara4.80 M5Hanuman4.72 M6Mana ShankaraVaraPrasad Garu3.82M6Peddi3.59M Moving into the critical Monday test, the early trends on BookMyShow give us a clear look at the current momentum.

This follows a second weekend that saw a peak of 157,040 tickets on Sunday, after steady performances on Friday and Saturday. These morning numbers are a standard reflection of the weekday transition, showing a natural dip as the working week kicks off. In conclusion, Peddi has officially emerged as the number one highest-selling South Indian film of 2026. This milestone cements its position at the top of the yearly charts, reflecting its strong appeal across the regional markets. While its journey continues to be monitored through the weekdays, it currently stands as the definitive commercial leader for Tollywood this year so far.

Karuppu Day 25 Box Office: BMS Ticket Sales Touch 4.47 Million; Just 40,000 Tickets Away From Entering The All-Time Top 5 List

BY SACNILK

Karuppu is now entering its fourth week of theatrical release, and as it reaches Day 25, the focus has largely moved from its daily earnings toward the overall milestones it is approaching. While daily numbers naturally slow down during a long theatrical run, the film's sustained performance has put it in a position where it is now chasing significant records on digital booking platforms. The interest levels remain steady enough to suggest that the film is still a point of discussion as it heads toward its final phase in cinemas. Looking at the ticket sales data from BookMyShow, the numbers reveal a high level of sustained engagement. Starting with a pre-sale of 75,000 tickets, the film enjoyed a massive first week with over 2.8 million tickets sold. While the volume has naturally tapered, the fourth weekend showed surprising resilience. Here is the detailed breakdown of the ticket sales trajectory so far: Pre Sales- 75K 1st Week- 2.85M 2nd Week- 1.10M 3rd Week- 374K 4th Friday- 15.38K 4th Saturday- 32.22K 4th Sunday- 26.1K 4th Monday- 6.79K Total Tickets Sold- 4,473,790 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With a cumulative total of approximately 4.47 million tickets sold on the platform, Karuppu is now on the verge of joining the elite top 5 list of Tamil cinema. It is currently trailing the fifth-placed film, The GOAT, by roughly 40,000 tickets. Entering this list would be a major achievement, though time is of the essence. The film is scheduled to premiere on OTT on June 12, which typically slows down theatrical ticket movement. Whether it can bridge this small gap in the next few days is the main point of interest for now. Top 5 Tamil Movies - Approximate BMS Ticket SalesMOVIE NAMEAPPROXIMATE BMS SALESJailer9.21MLeo7.30MCoolie6.09MAmaran4.90MThe GOAT4.51M (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On its 25th day, which was the fourth Monday, Karuppu collected a net of 0.53 crore across 874 shows in India. This represents a 69.7 percent drop from the previous day's net collection of 1.75 crore, which is a standard stabilization for a weekday this late in the cycle. This latest addition brings the total India net to 193.93 crore and the domestic gross to 224.15 crore. Internationally, the film added 0.10 crore on Monday, taking the total overseas gross to 80.70 crore. Collectively, the worldwide gross has officially crossed the 300-crore mark, currently standing at 304.85 crore. In the national theater chains for Monday, the performance was led by PVR with approximately 1,400 tickets sold, resulting in a gross of 1.8 lakhs. INOX followed with about 1,000 tickets sold for a gross of 1.2 lakhs, while Cinepolis contributed a gross of around 25,000 from 200 tickets. Regionally, Chennai reported a healthy occupancy of 29.3 percent on Monday, while Coimbatore saw 22 percent occupancy, showing that the core audience in Tamil Nadu is still showing up for shows. As the film approaches its digital premiere, its theatrical run has already established it as a significant commercial success. The journey from a strong opening to crossing the 300-crore worldwide milestone reflects the broad appeal the story has had across markets. While the OTT release on June 12 might bring the theatrical curtains down, the potential to enter the all-time top 5 ticket sales list remains a possibility over the coming days.

Drishyam 3 Box Office: Mohanlal's Thriller Becomes 7th Malayalam Movie to Cross 3 Million Tickets on BookMyShow

BY SACNILK

The Drishyam franchise is more than just a series of films; it is a global phenomenon that redefined the thriller genre in Indian cinema. Ever since Georgekutty first buried that secret under a police station, audiences worldwide have been hooked on the genius of Jeethu Joseph and the unmatched screen presence of Mohanlal. The anticipation for Drishyam 3 was at a fever pitch, with fans across the globe eager to see if Georgekutty could once again protect his family from the past that never stays silent. Now that the film is out, it isn't just winning hearts—it is completely shattering the record books. Drishyam 3 has officially crossed the major milestone of 3 million ticket sales on BookMyShow on its eighth day. This achievement makes it only the 7th Malayalam movie in history to enter this elite club. What makes this record special is how the film compares to other blockbusters during the same timeframe. By the end of its first week, Drishyam 3 recorded a staggering 2.95 million tickets. For context, during their respective first weeks, Vaazha 2 sold 2.44 million tickets, while Thudarum and Lokah stood at 2.28 million and 2.27 million. Other major hits like Empuraan, Aavesham, and Manjummel Boys recorded 2 million, 1.20 million, and 1.04 million tickets respectively in their opening week. This clearly shows that Drishyam 3 is currently trending at a much faster pace than any other film before it.

While Vaazha 2 recently became a cultural phenomenon by hitting 3 million tickets in just 10 days, Drishyam 3 started its journey with an explosive energy that we haven't seen before. On its opening day alone, the film logged an unprecedented 587K tickets on BookMyShow. This destroyed the previous Day 1 record held by Thudarum (430K) and L2: Empuraan (381K), proving that the brand value of Georgekutty is currently in a league of its own. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The daily breakdown of ticket sales tells a story of incredible consistency. After a massive opening Thursday of 587.3K tickets, the film maintained high demand through its first week, recording 426.35K on Friday and 360.94K on Saturday. Even as it entered the weekdays, the momentum stayed strong, with Wednesday bringing in 208.97K tickets. This steady flow pushed the total sales to approximately 2,954,450 by Wednesday night, and with the latest updates coming in today, the film has officially surged past the 3 million mark. In terms of historical rankings, Lokah Chapter 1 remains the benchmark on the platform with 5.50 million tickets. However, with Drishyam 3 already joining the elite group of seven Malayalam films to cross the 3 million mark, it is now trending towards the higher tiers of this list. Given its current pace and the support from a total of 34,920 shows, the film is well-positioned to move closer to the final totals of previous top performers like Vaazha 2 and Thudarum as it continues its theatrical run.

Karuppu Box Office: Action Drama Sets Day 1 Record For Suriya On BookMyShow

BY SACNILK

Chennai, May 16 - After a series of underperformances, Tamil superstar Suriya seems to have come back in the game with action drama Karuppu. The film has had its struggles to hit the big screens. It was supposed to be released on May 14, but the financial issues forced the makers to cancel the shows for the entire day, and it eventually hit the big screens on May 15. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's advance booking was disrupted due to the last-minute changes. Before the film was pushed to May 15, Karuppu had sold over 500K tickets in advance for May 14. This, as said, eventually became worthless once the film was pushed back by a day, as advance tickets sold for May 15 were around 75K. However, the delay in the release amplified the buzz as Karuppu was all in its glory on the release day. It sold 700K tickets on BookMyShow for both Tamil and Telugu versions on May 15 only, making it the fourth highest Tamil film, and highest ever for a Suriya starrer, in terms of ticket sales on BMS on the release day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Karuppu's hourly BMS ticket sales peaked at 46.2K, which is again a record for the Singham star. There is no denying that the cancellation of the original day 1 fueled the massive response on the BooMyShow, but the numbers are still huge for an actor who hasn't had a success in recent times. Meanwhile, superstar Rajinikanth's Jailer is the number one film in terms of BMS ticket sales on the release day with 1 million tickets. Thalapathy Vijay's Leo is the second in the list with 756K tickets sold, followed by Rajinikanth's Coolie with 715K tickets. With 700K tickets, Suriya is now officially in the league of Tamil cinema giants. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 5 Tamil Films By Day 1 BookMyShow Ticket Sales S.

Bangla has grossed 61.50 crore worldwide in just two days, marking one of the fastest starts for an Akshay Kumar film in recent times.

Dhurandhar 2 Records 11.33M BMS Ticket Sales in Week 1, Beating Jawan to Take the Second Spot Behind Pushpa 2

BY SACNILK

The landscape of Indian cinema is witnessing a tectonic shift as the 8-day extended week data for BookMyShow ticket sales reveals an unprecedented level of audience frenzy. We are no longer just looking at box office collections but at the sheer volume of humanity moving toward the big screens. In a market where crossing the 5 million ticket mark in a week is considered a massive achievement, the Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has effectively entered a stratosphere of its own by breaching the 11 million mark with ease, becoming the second-highest of all time. This massive volume of sales places the film firmly behind the monstrous 12.53 million tickets sold by Pushpa 2 The Rule. The gap between these two titans and the rest of the industry is becoming a significant talking point among the trade fraternity. For context, legendary runs like Jawan and Kalki 2898 AD, which were considered massive during their runs, now find themselves trailing behind this new era of dominance. Dhurandhar 2 is not just a success story; it is a total demolition of the previous theatrical footprints established by some of the biggest global blockbusters.

This highlights the massive demand in premium multiplexes where ticket pricing plays a major role. Even huge blockbusters like Jawan, which raked in 389.88 crore from 7.65 million tickets, now look modest in comparison to the sheer scale of the Dhurandhar 2 juggernaut. The trend shows that the audience is now gravitating toward event-scale cinema like never before. The fact that Dhurandhar 2 has managed to sell 11.33 million tickets despite a highly competitive market speaks volumes about the brand loyalty of the franchise. It has officially set a new gold standard for theatrical resilience. With the second weekend approaching, the momentum suggests that these ticket volumes will continue to swell, setting benchmarks that might remain untouched for years.All eyes are now on this unstoppable force to see if it can eventually rewrite the record books for lifetime footfalls in the history of Indian cinema..
