They Call Him OG Roars to Rs 90 Crore Opening Day in India, Including Previews

Record paid previews drove a career-best launch for Pawan Kalyan’s Sujeeth-directed thriller.

Overview

  • Industry tracker Sacnilk reported about Rs 70 crore India net on day one, with domestic totals reaching roughly Rs 90.25 crore after including paid previews.
  • Paid previews alone were pegged around Rs 20–23 crore, setting a new premiere-day benchmark and surpassing titles such as Pushpa 2 and Stree 2.
  • Advance sales were exceptionally strong, with Sacnilk citing roughly Rs 65 crore domestically and about Rs 33 crore overseas in bookings before release.
  • Overseas rollout faced snags as York Cinemas in North America canceled shows and issued refunds, and several European screenings were scrapped due to delivery delays.
  • Fan celebrations were intense, and a Bengaluru screening was briefly halted after a theatre screen was slashed with a sword before resuming following discussions with management.
