The Ceeded area includes the Rayalaseema districts in Andhra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka with a significant Telugu-speaking population, like Ballari and Tumakuru. Telugu movies dominate these regions, and the collections here often determine a film's success. Ceeded is known for its love for action-packed films, and here's a look at the top 10 movies with the highest first-day shares in this area.
