They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan and Emraan Hashmi, has stormed the box office with a record-breaking opening. Released on September 25, the gangster drama raked in an estimated Rs 70 crore in India across all languages on its first day. Adding the presale collections of Rs 20.25 crore, the film’s total opening day haul touched an impressive Rs 90.25 crore. Reportedly, the film earned around Rs 150 crore globally, making it the biggest Indian opener of 2025.

According to Sacnilk, the Telugu version dominated with a massive 69.35 per cent occupancy on Thursday, peaking at 77.51 per cent during night shows. The Tamil version registered 18.36 per cent occupancy, while Hindi and Kannada versions stood at 10.37 per cent and 9.19 per cent, respectively.

In North America, They Call Him OG set new benchmarks by emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 from its premiere shows alone. It also secured the fourth-biggest Telugu premiere day ever in the US, ahead of major releases like Jr NTR’s Devara: Part 1 and Prabhas’ Salaar: Part 1.

This success marks a strong comeback for Pawan Kalyan, who faced a setback earlier this year with Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

With this historic opening, They Call Him OG has outshined the debuts of recent blockbusters Chhaava and Saiyaara, and even surpassed Rajinikanth’s underwhelming Coolie. It also beat Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan.

The buzz around OG was already sky-high before release, thanks to extraordinary advance bookings. With presales of Rs 20.25 crore, the film scored the fifth-highest advance booking in Indian cinema history – beating even biggies like Kalki 2898 AD (Rs 55.3 crore), Devara (Rs 49.9 crore), and Salaar (Rs 49 crore).

Directed by Sujeeth and produced by D. V. V. Danayya under DVV Entertainment, They Call Him OG features Pawan Kalyan as Ojas Gambheera, popularly known as OG.

The action-crime thriller follows his return to Mumbai’s underworld a decade after disappearing, only to confront Omi Bhau (Emraan Hashmi), a ruthless new kingpin. Themes of power, betrayal, and redemption play out against the gritty backdrop of Mumbai’s criminal underworld.

The film also stars Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Rao Ramesh, Sriya Reddy, Harish Uthaman, Abhimanyu Singh, Ajay Ghosh, Saurav Lokesh, Vennela Kishore, and Akira Nandan.

Team India is all set to face Pakistan for the third time in Asia Cup 2025 and this time both teams will be battling for the trophy. Ahead of the big clash on Sunday, September 28, fans have already begun to talk about no ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah during 2017 Chamopions Trophy final which costed India the title.

For Indian cricket fans, the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final isn’t just a memory it’s a scar. A day filled with anticipation turned into heartbreak, and one moment stands out above the rest i.e Jasprit Bumrah’s no-ball that gave Fakhar Zaman a second life. Caught behind early, Fakhar should’ve walked back, but the overstep overturned the dismissal. What followed was a blistering century that shifted the game, and eventually, the trophy, Pakistan’s way.

Now, with another high-stakes India vs Pakistan final on the horizon, fans are already battling old ghosts. Bumrah, since then, has matured into one of the most feared bowlers in world cricket. His discipline, yorkers, and clutch performances have rebuilt trust, but fans haven’t forgotten that one moment. Find below fans reaction
