“They Call Him OG,” a new smash movie by Pawan Kalyan , is bringing the sound of a lion’s roar to theaters . This brutal action movie got a lot of attention before it came out, and by the end of its second day, it had made more than $4 million in North America alone. For fans of Telugu movies with a lot of action, this is more than just a win; it’s proof that strong narrative and star power can win over people all around the world.
A Premiere That Shook the Charts
The movie’s journey began with a bang on opening night, when it generated an incredible $2.95 million in paid previews across North America. By the conclusion of Day 1, it had generated another large haul, bringing the total to over $3.5 million and making it the highest-grossing Telugu release of 2025 in the area. The first day grossed ₹91 crore in India, mainly to the intense action scenes and Pawan Kalyan’s compelling performance as the brooding anti-hero OG. In Hyderabad, fans waited up at multiplexes from dawn, turning screenings into mini-festivals with cheers that sounded like a stadium crowd.
Steady Growth Even though the numbers went down on Day 2, “OG” kept strong and made ₹80.25 crore net in India and broke the ₹100 crore mark worldwide in under 48 hours. By the end of Day 2, North American box office sales had hit $4.1 million, and by the end of Day 3, they were close to $4.2 million. This made it the fourth highest-grossing opening weekend in North America in 2025, ahead of huge movies like Hrithik Roshan’s. This strength gives movie enthusiasts a very vital bit of advice: In action movies, word-of-mouth about shocking events that keep audiences on the edge of their seats typically works better than hype to keep the movie going.

Why It’s More Than Just Numbers
What sets “They Call Him OG” apart? Director Sujeeth’s honest look at revenge and atonement speaks to everyone, much like “Pushpa” did for rural heroes. Pawan Kalyan’s two sides, weak and harsh, are like the strong side of his “Vakeel Saab” persona, but the graphics are superior. It’s a lesson for individuals who want to make movies about how to mix action and emotion to entice people from all over the world to watch.
“OG” is expected to transform the way Telugu movies are exported as the movie approaches closer to ₹200 crore internationally. Get your tickets early if you want to see this one. It’s going to be a legend.
