Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG is set for a historic opening at the Indian box office. With ₹70–75 crore predicted on day one, the film may beat Rajinikanth’s Coolie to claim the 2nd highest adult opening in India.
Pawan Kalyan in a still from They Call Him OG, the action drama expected to register one of the biggest adult film openings in Indian box office history.
Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited gangster action drama They Call Him OG is heading for a historic start at the Indian box office. With advance bookings already soaring past ₹50 crore, the film has emerged as the actor’s biggest opener yet—and could secure the second-highest adult opening in India, just behind Prabhas’ Salaar.
Advance Booking Creates History
Directed by Sujeeth, OG has set the stage ablaze with unprecedented pre-release buzz. The film has already crossed the ₹50 crore mark in advance ticket sales, surpassing Rajinikanth’s Coolie (₹37.3 crore), which previously held the record for the highest pre-sales in 2025. Trade experts predict the film could easily touch ₹150 crore+ worldwide gross by the end of day one.
Biggest Telugu Opener of 2025
Even before release, OG has secured the year’s highest opening for a Telugu film, leaving behind Game Changer (₹54 crore). The craze in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Pawan Kalyan commands a massive fan following, is expected to drive record-breaking footfalls.
Day 1 Prediction: 70–75 Crore in India
Industry analysts estimate that OG could collect between ₹70–75 crore (net) in India on its opening day, including paid previews. Of this, about ₹63–65 crore is expected from the Telugu states alone, with the rest coming from other regions.
This performance would put OG above every other adult opener in India, except Salaar (₹92 crore). Its closest competition remains Rajinikanth’s Coolie (₹65 crore). If predictions hold true, OG will comfortably secure the #2 spot among India’s biggest adult openers of all time.
