The cinematic landscape of 2025 has been irrevocably altered. Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s latest offering, the high-octane gangster drama They Call Him OG, hasn't just released—it has exploded, creating an unprecedented box office phenomenon right from its first day. The sheer scale of its opening is a powerful reminder of the actor-politician's colossal star power.

An Earth-Shattering Worldwide Opening

Setting a new, almost unimaginable benchmark, They Call Him OG (often simply referred to as OG) has reportedly amassed a stunning ₹150 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. This massive figure isn't just a record for Pawan Kalyan; it instantly crowns the movie as the biggest global opener of 2025 in Indian cinema, signalling a box office triumph that is making the entire industry sit up and take notice.

Leaving the Competition in the Dust

The film’s opening performance has single-handedly redefined box office expectations for the year. The gangster flick, which features Bollywood's Emraan Hashmi in a pivotal role, has comfortably surpassed the day-one collections of other major releases. It has soundly beaten massive projects like Saiyaara and Chhaava, and most notably, it has outshone the highly anticipated Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth. This aggressive dominance highlights not only the film's huge hype but also the successful execution of its large-scale release strategy.

The Power of the Advance Booking Wave

Long before the first show began, the writing was on the wall. The monumental opening was built on a foundation of spectacular advance bookings, which alone reached an astonishing ₹98 crore globally. This pre-release euphoria was particularly evident overseas, where OG made history with its premiere shows in North America, delivering figures that placed it among the highest-grossing Telugu premieres ever in the circuit. Fans thronged theatres, turning the release into a celebratory event and proving that the 'Power Star' factor remains undefeated.

What Lies Ahead for the OG?

With such a seismic start, the attention now turns to the coming days. The unprecedented Day 1 collection firmly establishes OG as a blockbuster of historic proportions, setting the stage for a spectacular first weekend. The big question on everyone’s mind—from trade analysts to fervent fans—is whether They Call Him OG can maintain this ferocious momentum. If the initial enthusiasm converts into sustained footfall, this Pawan Kalyan starrer is well-positioned not just to break new records but to entirely rewrite the box office history of Indian cinema. The OG Storm is here, and it’s just getting started.
