The film’s Day 5 Hindi (2D) occupancy rates show a mixed picture, with morning shows at 5.43 per cent, afternoon at 6.05 per cent, evening at 5.44 per cent, and night shows showing a slight rise to 8.22 per cent. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the major share of domestic revenue continues to come from the Telugu version, followed by the dubbed Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada versions.
In the Hindi market, They Call Him OG is currently outperforming Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor, which was recently selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars. However, tougher competition is looming. Starting this Thursday, two new releases, Rishab Shetty’s much-awaited Kantara: Chapter 1 and Shashank Khaitan’s rom-com Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan) are set to shake up the box office.
They Call Him OG: Story, cast, and more
They Call Him OG takes you back to the 1990s in Mumbai when gang wars and street violence were at their peak. They Call Him OG is a high action with an emotional storyline. Pawan Kalyan has been known for delivering one of his strongest performances yet, while Sujeeth’s direction and action sequences have stuck with audiences. Emraan Hashmi’s role as the villain is also a ‘wow’ moment for fans.
The film had already created massive buzz before release, collecting Rs 21 crore from paid previews alone. This strong pre-release momentum led to a thunderous start, but maintaining the hype in the coming days will be tough with upcoming releases.
