They Call Him OG Nears ₹150 Crore in India as Monday Dip Follows Huge Opening

Paid previews and ticket hikes fueled a front‑loaded start, while trade tallies for the worldwide total now vary widely as the film settles into weekday levels.

Overview

  • Pawan Kalyan’s actioner earned an estimated ₹7.45 crore net in India on day five, taking the domestic total to about ₹147.65 crore, according to Sacnilk.
  • Global box‑office reports diverge sharply, with weekend worldwide estimates spanning roughly ₹200–₹250 crore across trackers including Hindustan Times, Indian Express, Pinkvilla, Koimoi and Filmfare.
  • The rollout was boosted by ₹21 crore from paid premieres and premium pricing in the Telugu states (about ₹1,000 in Andhra Pradesh and ₹800 in Telangana), plus a ₹63.75 crore opening day.
  • Collections fell roughly 70% on day two but stayed largely flat across Saturday and Sunday, with Telugu markets driving turnout and reported occupancy around 42% for the Telugu version.
  • Despite mixed reviews, multiple outlets say this is already Kalyan’s highest‑grossing film, with near‑term performance hinging on weekday holds and the upcoming Dasara holiday window.
