Its opening day on Friday had already recorded ₹63.75 crore net.

While the film saw a drop of around 70% on its second day, collecting ₹18.45 crore, its worldwide earnings, including premieres, have reached ₹171 crore in two days. Most of the revenue comes from the Telugu market, while Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi versions have collected moderately. Saturday recorded 42.08% occupancy for the Telugu version, and box office watchers are keen to see the numbers over the first weekend.

They Call Him OG Review:

Hindustan Times noted that They Call Him OG serves as a tribute to Pawan Kalyan’s stardom but cautioned that the story feels familiar. The review highlighted the post-credit scene, hinting at more layers to the character Ojas Gambheera.

About the Film:

Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under DVV Entertainment, the film features Pawan Kalyan in the titular role of Ojas Gambheera, a retired gangster forced back into action. Emraan Hashmi plays the antagonist Omi Bhau, with Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and Prakash Raj in supporting roles. Thaman S has composed the music. Despite mixed critical reviews, OG has performed impressively at the box office, already becoming Pawan Kalyan’s highest-grossing film to date.

The momentum is remarkable. Just hours ago, bookings stood at USD 267,231 across 174 locations. The film already sold more than 9,000 tickets for 631 shows. With the tally now crossing USD 300,000, expectations are soaring. Pawan Kalyan’s loyal fanbase in North America is turning the film into a festival well before its release.

This surge is more significant when compared to his recent outings. His period drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu collected only USD 1 million during its full run in the U.S. In contrast, They Call Him OG may cross that benchmark even before release. With 27 days left, trade analysts are predicting historic numbers for premieres and opening weekends.

Directed by Sujeeth of Saaho fame, the film features Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist. His debut in South Indian cinema has further raised the buzz. If the current pace continues, They Call Him OG could deliver one of Pawan Kalyan’s most iconic openings in the U.S.
