OG box office prediction: Pawan Kalyan is likely to give one of Indian cinema's biggest openers.
Pawan Kalyan's OG concert, which was held on Sunday, was cut short due to the downpour.

Overview

  • Trade trackers report roughly ₹70–75 crore in worldwide advance bookings, with projections of a ₹130–150 crore opening day labeled as estimates, not final results.
  • Overseas distributors in Europe publicly complained about last‑minute content delivery, and North America’s Tamil version was dropped due to delays, with Canada also reporting incomplete materials earlier in the day.
  • York Cinemas said it cancelled OG screenings, alleging requests to inflate sales numbers and citing safety concerns; the distributor has not issued a detailed rebuttal in the coverage cited.
  • Paid previews in India began late Wednesday night after time changes, with premium‑priced shows rapidly selling out and extra last‑minute screenings added in several northern cities.
  • The film carries an A certificate after CBFC‑mandated edits totaling 1 minute 55 seconds and added disclaimers, marking Pawan Kalyan’s first adult rating in 14 years.
