OG worldwide box office collection: They Call Him OG is a juggernaut that refuses to slow down. Pawan Kalyan‘s action entertainer passed the Monday test with distinction.

It has now surpassed some big hits from recent years in its journey at the box office

OG movie worldwide collection

OG, as the film is called, earned ₹7.50 crore net in India on Monday, a 60% dip from the ₹18.50 crore it had earned on Sunday. Buoyed by its massive ₹84-crore opening, the film managed to earn ₹147 crore net ( ₹168 crore gross) in India in its first five days. The film’s makers – DVV Entertainment – said on Monday that the film had grossed ₹252 crore worldwide in its opening weekend. On Monday, the film added an estimated ₹13 crore to that, taking the total to ₹265 crore.

OG is now the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year, snatching the top spot from Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which ended its run with ₹255 crore worldwide earlier this year. No other Telugu film has even crossed ₹200 crore. Given OG’s momentum, the film should cross ₹300 crore by its second weekend, becoming the first Telugu film to do so this year.
