Power Star Pawan Kalyan has set the Box Office on fire with his latest release, They Call Him OG. The film has delivered a smashing performance in its extended four-day opening weekend, collecting a whopping ₹218 crore worldwide. This is a huge achievement, as OG has become the first film in Pawan Kalyan’s career to cross the prestigious ₹200 crore mark.
The action-thriller started on an excellent note and maintained a strong hold over the weekend. While the film dominated in the Telugu states, the lack of significant growth on Saturday and Sunday has become a point of discussion among trade experts. Let’s take a closer look at the numbers.
OG’s Four-Day Weekend Box Office Breakdown
The film had a thunderous opening day in India, but the collections remained flat over the next three days without showing the usual weekend jump. The total for the four-day weekend in India stands at nearly ₹160 crore.
Here is the day-wise breakdown of the India gross collections:
| Day | Gross Collection (India) |
|---|---|
| Thursday | ₹88.25 cr. |
| Friday | ₹23.50 cr. |
| Saturday | ₹24.00 cr. |
| Sunday | ₹23.75 cr. |
| Total | ₹159.50 cr. |
Territorial Collections: Dominance In Telugu States
As expected, They Call Him OG has performed exceptionally well in the Telugu-speaking states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, collecting around ₹136 crore. The film also put up a strong performance overseas, adding another ₹58 crore (USD 6.55 million) to its total, taking the worldwide gross to ₹218 crore.
Here is the territorial breakdown for the film’s collections:
| Area | Gross Collection |
|---|---|
| AP/TS | ₹135.75 cr. |
| Karnataka | ₹15.50 cr. |
| Tamil Nadu / Kerala | ₹3.50 cr. |
| Rest of India | ₹4.75 cr. |
| INDIA TOTAL | ₹159.50 cr. |
| OVERSEAS | ₹58.00 cr. |
| WORLDWIDE TOTAL | ₹217.50 cr. |
The Road Ahead: Challenges And Opportunities
While the weekend numbers are fantastic, the flat trend is a cause for concern. Usually, a lack of growth over the weekend suggests that the film might see a drop during the weekdays. The film needs to hold steady to become a huge success for its distributors.
The upcoming Dussehra holidays will provide a major boost to the collections. However, OG will face competition from the much-awaited film Kantara, which releases this Thursday. The real test for the film begins now, and all eyes will be on its weekday performance.
