They Call Him OG, popularly known as OG, has finally hit the big screens and is making waves at the box office.
Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Entertainments, this much-awaited action drama stars Pawan Kalyan in a powerful role alongside Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, and Arjun Das. The movie was released worldwide on September 25, 2025, in multiple languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — attracting audiences across regions.
A Massive Opening Day
This movie had one of the most talked-about openings in recent times. Advance ticket bookings were phenomenal, with fans rushing to secure seats days before release. The buzz was so strong that many shows were sold out even before the premiere day.
India Collections
The film delivered a spectacular opening in India. Early morning shows were packed, and by noon, collections had already crossed double digits. By evening, the numbers skyrocketed, with trade analysts estimating day-one net collections at around ₹25–30 crore in all languages combined. With additional evening and late-night shows, this cinema is on track to achieve one of the highest day-one totals for a Telugu film this year.
Overseas and Worldwide Earnings
This Movie also created ripples overseas, particularly in North America, where premiere shows alone crossed the USD 3 million mark — a rare achievement for a Telugu release. Early worldwide estimates suggest that this could end its first day with a staggering ₹150 crore gross, setting it up as one of the biggest openers of 2025.
How It Compares
When compared to Pawan Kalyan’s previous releases, this cinema is performing exceptionally well. While Hari Hara Veera Mallu had a massive start, This Movies multi-language release and strong overseas presence have given it a wider reach and higher overall earnings potential.
Why OG is Winning Big
Several factors contributed to phenomenal start:
- Pawan Kalyan’s Fan Base: The actor’s dedicated following created huge pre-release hype.
- Record Advance Bookings: Ticket sales hit historic highs before release day.
- Wide Release: The film was released in thousands of screens across India and internationally.
- Strong Content & Action Appeal: Early audience reactions highlight the film’s stylish action and gripping storytelling.
The Road Ahead
The real test will be its performance over the weekend and beyond. Positive word-of-mouth is expected to bring in repeat audiences, especially for the evening and holiday shows. The film also benefits from minimal competition in the Telugu market this week, giving it more breathing room to maximize collections.
Looking ahead, box office run could break multiple records if it continues this momentum through its first week. The film’s digital streaming rights have already been secured, ensuring another round of revenue after its theatrical journey ends.
Final Word
The Movie has opened with thunderous numbers and reaffirmed Pawan Kalyan’s position as a true box office powerhouse. Whether it can maintain the pace and enter the list of all-time highest grossers will depend on audience feedback in the coming days — but as of now, the film is off to a flying start.
