They Call Him OG Hits ₹100 Crore in Two Days Amid 69% Day‑2 Drop

Day‑Two Box‑Office Numbers

On September 26, 2025, the much‑talked‑about action thriller They Call Him OG logged a net collection of about ₹19.25 crore across all Indian languages. That figure marks a steep 69.25 % fall from the opening‑day haul of ₹84.75 crore, but the dip is typical for a film that busted records on its debut.

Despite the slide, the cumulative India net crossed the coveted ₹100 crore threshold by the end of day two, settling at roughly ₹104 crore. Occupancy in the Telugu‑speaking belt held steady at 41.57 %, with morning shows hovering in the low 30s, afternoon screenings climbing to 38.42 %, evening shows at 43.45 % and night slots breaking the 50 % mark (51.79 %).

Analysts point out that the film’s front‑loaded earnings were driven by an unprecedented fan surge, with Pawan Kalyan’s core base turning up in massive numbers for the first‑time show. The drop, while sharp, still left the movie in a strong position for the weekend, especially as word‑of‑mouth began to filter through social channels.

Global Performance and Records

Internationally, the movie’s momentum proved equally impressive. In just two days, worldwide gross reached an estimated ₹171.50 crore, propelled by a record‑setting run in North America where it pulled in over $3.61 million. The opening day alone contributed more than $6 million to the global tally.

These figures catapult the film to the seventh‑biggest opening for a Telugu movie and the eighth‑biggest domestic debut for any Indian film. It outperformed recent high‑profile releases such as Jr NTR’s Devara and Vijay’s Leo in terms of global opening day revenue.

‘They Call Him OG’ also etched a new milestone for Pawan Kalyan, becoming the fastest of his films to breach the ₹100 crore net club and only the second in his career to do so. The two‑day run already eclipsed the entire 15‑day collection of the recent hit Mirai, which managed ₹85.07 crore.

Trade insiders suggest that the film’s mixed‑language release strategy—simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and overseas dubbed versions—helped broaden its audience base. The strong overseas response, especially in the United States, United Kingdom and the Gulf, hints at a growing appetite for pan‑Indian action narratives.

Looking ahead, the buzz around the film remains high. Fan celebrations continue across major cities, and early social media sentiment points to a positive reception of the movie’s action set‑pieces and Kalyan’s performance. With weekend slots filling up and no major competing releases slated for the next few days, the box‑office trajectory appears set to stay robust.
