Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan, who is called ‘Power Star’, has done so amazing that hardly anyone has expected. Pawan’s new film ‘They Call Him OG’ or ‘OG’ was released on Thursday. On the very first day, this film has made such a blast that has flew away many big records.
Last year, Pawan, who became Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has been trying to balance films and politics since 2014, by achieving great success in politics. In the last few years, as his grip in politics became stronger, his films were seen struggling.
But now Pawan has proved that his career is actually a flop proof. His new film can explode anytime. ‘OG’ has made such a strong opening that this year is going to become a record holder of top opening in Indian cinema.
How was the opening of ‘OG’?
Premier shows of ‘OG’ took place on Wednesday evening before release on Thursday. In these shows itself, the film got such a response that its opening started to get a buzz. According to Caiknilk, ‘OG’ made more than Rs 20 crore net collection in India only with premiere shows. It made more than 50 crore gross collection with worldwide premiere shows, which is a record in itself.
But from Thursday morning, the craze of Pawan Kalyan started causing a storm in theaters. For the opening day of ‘OG’, a gross collection of Rs 90-100 crore was done only by advance booking. With booking, it had become the biggest opening film of Pawan’s career. On Thursday, the shows of this film filled in India as well as abroad on Thursday, it was decided that ‘OG’ power star Pawan Kalyan is going to do a big blast.
Estimates of trade reports say that his film has collected more than Rs 150 crore on the first day. There is still time for the exact figures to come and the total opening collection of the film can be seen even more in these figures. Out of this, only the net collection of the film in India is estimated to be more than 71 crores.
‘OG’ broke records from opening
This year, Pawan Kalyan’s previous release ‘Hari Har Veer Mallu’ proved to be a very big disaster. This film, made in a budget of more than 200 crores, collected around 100 crores at the box office. But now the opening of ‘OG’ is telling that Pawan Kalyan’s career is a flop-proof.
If you want to understand the opening of ‘OG’, then understand this – the biggest opening in Bollywood has been the name of Prabhas’s flop ‘Adipurush’. It had collected a worldwide gross collection of Rs 127 crore on the first day. ‘OG’ is far ahead of this.
Out of India’s biggest opening top 10 films, 7 are from South. Among them, Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ (2025) is at number seven, whose opening gross was Rs 153 crore. This is the biggest opening of this year so far. But it is estimated that the opening of ‘OG’ in the final figures may be more than this. The idea of ​​Pawan Kalyan’s craze can be imposed from the fact that he has raised a big opening from Rajinikanth’s film.
Pawan’s top film became ‘OG’ in one day
Pawan’s career is the most earning film ‘Bhimla Nayak’ (2022), whose total gross collection was Rs 158 crore. But a distant chance is that ‘OG’ will leave it behind only opening day collection.
Even if this does not happen or in the final figures, ‘OG’ misses a landmark of 150 crores, even then ‘OG’ will become the top film of ‘OG’ Pawan Kalyan’s career. The reviews of this film are mixed, not even positive. Therefore, it can be said that this is the power of Pawan’s stardom. This is the power of ‘Power Star’.
