Pawan Kalyan's film **"They Call Him OG" (OG)** has achieved remarkable box office success, nearing a global collection of around **Rs 294 crore** within 23 days of release. The film set records from its opening day with a worldwide gross of Rs 154 crore and went on to become one of the biggest openers in Indian cinema in 2025[1][2][3]. Key points about the box office performance of OG include: - In India, the film has earned approximately **Rs 192.84 crore nett** and Rs 228.51 crore gross across major cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad in 23 days[3]. - The overseas collection stands at **Rs 65.25 crore**, bringing the global total close to Rs 293.76 crore[3][7]. - Despite a strong start, the film experienced a significant decline in collections after the initial days, earning only Rs 23.11 crore in the 13 days following its opening[5]. - It became the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 and one of the top grossers overall for the year in Indian cinema[11][13]. - The film's success is attributed to Pawan Kalyan's performance, the film's unique gangster storyline, director Sujeeth's storytelling, and music by Thaman[3]. - The makers have also confirmed plans for a sequel, and the digital (OTT) release is anticipated around October 23, 2025[3]. While OG set multiple box office records, including for opening day and pan-India reach, it fell short of entering the Rs 300 crore club, a milestone anticipated for Telugu cinema in 2025[7]. The film's budget was estimated around Rs 250 crore, and it recovered about 77% of this from Indian net collections alone[7]. In summary, "They Call Him OG" is a major commercial hit with global collections nearing Rs 300 crore but saw a quick drop in revenue after the initial burst, making it a record-breaking yet somewhat mixed box office success in terms of sustained performance[3][5][7].
