2025 has delivered some thrilling content for movies; however, the release of "They Call Him OG," featuring Pawan Kalyan, was unlike any other. Fans had been talking about the film for months, and when it finally opened in theaters, the hype truly paid off. "OG" crossed historic figures from the very first day of its release, and it once again outlines why Pawan Kalyan is known as the Power Star of Telugu cinema.
As of the end of Day 3, OG has already set numerous records in India and internationally.

This writing will objectively recapitulate Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 collections, overall box office collection worldwide and records broken, along with the overall life of "OG" at the box office.

Early Analysis Of Day 3
Day 3 proved important for “OG”. Following a massive Day 1 and a hard Day 2 drop, the trade pundits were watching closely to see if the film could sustain after a hot start. Fortunately, the Day 3 collections indicated stability. With approximately ₹30 Crore net in India and solid overseas business, “OG” again demonstrated that it is not a question of just opening hype, but instead has the ability to carry interest for the weekend.
The Sunday factor here helped. Family audiences and your regular audiences and those who wanted to see it for a second time came out in solid numbers. The action, the star of Pawan Kalyan, and the new audiences base from Emraan Hashmi's Telugu debut all kept it kickstarted.

Records Broken By “OG”
Whenever a film released with the title "They Call Him OG", expectations reach new heights. Pawan Kalyan's fan base will always burn the box office down, and this time they have created history. The film has broken several records in just three days. Lets examine those records one by one.
Biggest Previews In Indian Cinema
Prior to its official release, "OG" was screened in paid previews across India. The movie earned over ₹30 Crore in paid previews only, the highest ever for an Indian film. This clearly establishes Pawan Kalyan's stardom. Fans travelled to theatres just to watch the advanced release.
Highest Opening Day Of 2025
"OG" earned approximately ₹70–75 Crore net in India on its first day of release. This was the biggest opening day in India (across all languages) in 2025. Even significant Hindi and Tamil films did not achieve this amount.
