Fans online are overjoyed and flocking to the cinema to catch the superstar’s film on the big screen. After simmering among the news of delays, Pawan Kalyan’s OG is finally out, and fans are here for it. With critics raving about the film and predicting it to be a “massive blockbuster”, a review read on X (formerly Twitter),”The second half carries the story, with post-interval sequences and climax standing out. They Call Him OG is shaping up to be a massive blockbuster – a festival for fans and a stylish, high-octane entertainer for the general audience.” Comparing Kalyan’s Ojas Gambheera to John Wick, critics have called the direction “sheer screen magic.”

“OG isn’t just stylish, it’s one of the most technically brilliant films in recent times. Absolute treat to watch,” read another review online. With visuals of audiences cheering and in tears, the premiere was a huge success for the They Call Him OG team.

However, mixed reviews were also seen floating among the wave of positive reviews for Pawan Kalyan. “No connection. No emotion. Only elevation. Every 10 minutes it’s another Pawan Kalyan entry, building the legend but leaving you cold if you’re not a fan,” opined a netizen. Similarly, received mixed reviews, the fans seemed to be divided on the Emraan Hashmi-Pawan Kalyan starrer as some describe the plot as “half-baked”. Calling it a “redemption of Pawan Kalyan,” the Internet cannot get enough of their favourite superstar. Some even pointed out that, “Gen Z women will love for its bold mix of action and heartfelt emotion.”

“OG is a cool-looking action with an urban kind of shot-making. Pawan sir’s aura is infectious,” read a review praising the film and its woman-dominated performances. This Sujeet directorial, ‘They Call Him OG’ stars Priyanka Arul Mohan, Emraan Hashmi, Prakash Raj, Arjun Das, and Sriya Reddy.
