Pawan Kalyan’s action-thriller, They Call Him OG, has indeed made waves at the box office and has become one of the big cinematic events of 2025. After a record opening, the film has managed to keep its collections steady over the weekend.
So far, the movie has grossed an India net collection of Rs 140.20 crore across all languages by the end of Day 4. This debut has brought Sujeeth-defined into the fold of highest earners for Kalyan so far and strong competition for the top grossing film of the year.
The sheer magnitude of fan support was apparent from the opening numbers, suggesting that the film’s star power was enough to cross over the mixed critical reception. In the first four days, the film was comfortably beyond the Rs 200 crore gross mark worldwide, a record for a Pawan Kalyan-starrer.
Weekend Box Office Power Play: Stabilizing Collections
The massive frenzy observed from the beginning saw a stupendous Day 1 collection that broke records for Indian cinema openers in 2025. Day 2 saw a substantial drop, but the film showed great determination over the all-important weekend days.
During its third and fourth days in distribution, Saturday and Sunday, the film sustained a strong day-to-day earnings rate, with both days raking in an estimated Rs 18.50 crore net apiece.
This consistency in revenues is a good indicator of sustained patronage, mostly thanks to the host Telugu market recording good occupancy rates, which helped breach the overall India net figure of Rs 140 crore by closing time of the extended first weekend.
Global Domination and Industry Record
The best of the film crossed domestic borders, with a sizable chunk coming in from abroad to complement that monumental total. Five days into release, the movie already crossed an estimated gross collection of Rs 230 crore worldwide-a gross that has now comfortably surpassed the lifetime collections of several other major releases of 2025. This global domination proudly showcases the extended market reach of Pawan Kalyan and reiterates the pan-Indian standing of Telugu cinema.
With not much direct competition in the near future, the industry is optimistic about the long-term holding potential of OG and are forecasting a well-deserved pathway for the film to climb higher, possibly clinching the title of the biggest box office sensation till 2025.
