OG Box Office Collection Day 9: Pawan Kalyan’s latest release They Call Him OG continues its run at the box office but witnessed a dip in collections as it entered its second week. Released on September 25, the Sujeeth directorial marked a powerful start in theatres but is now facing competition from new releases, especially Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1 and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
On Day 9, which fell on Friday, They Call Him OG collected Rs 4.52 crore net in India, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This marks a 41.30 percent drop compared to its performance a day before. With this, the film’s domestic net total stands at Rs 173.82 crore so far.

The film, produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under DVV Entertainment, opened to massive excitement and packed theatres across the country. The Pawan Kalyan-starrer was a big hit as fans packed the theaters with early morning shows, special screenings, and social media buzz, turning it into one of Tollywood’s biggest openings of the year.
In its first week, They Call Him OG earned Rs 169.3 crore at the Indian box office. The action thriller got off to a flying start by collecting Rs 63.75 crore on its opening day alone, the highest opening of the actor’s career.
The film quickly entered the Rs 200 crore club within its initial days. The movie’s success has set new benchmarks in Tollywood, not just for its box office numbers but also for how it has brought fans back to cinemas. Trade experts say They Call Him OG has the potential to become one of the top-grossing Telugu films of the year if it maintains steady collections at the box office.

Future Box Office predictions of They Call Him OG
The big question now is whether They Call Him OG can maintain steady numbers against new competition. Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 is already emerging as a blockbuster, grossing Rs 61.85 crore on its opening day and Rs 45 crore on its first Friday, quickly racing past the Rs 100 crore mark.
With such strong competition, trade experts believe OG needs a stable hold over the next few days to comfortably enter the Rs 200 crore net mark in India and inch closer to its Rs 300 crore mark at global box office.
