OG box office collection day 1: Pawan Kalyan has broken the bank with his latest release, They Call Him OG, marketed as simply OG. The action thriller, which marks Emraan Hashmi’s entry in Telugu cinema, is touted to be one of the biggest openings in Indian cinema history. The film crossed ₹100 crore worldwide with just advance booking collections, and is expected to break several collection records on the opening day itself.

OG movie collection

OG has taken a running start at the ticket window. According to Sacnilk, the film has earned ₹75 crore net in India by 10 PM on release day. This breakneck pace ensured that OG crossed the day 1 collections of Pawan Kalyan’s previous film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, soon. That film had earned ₹34 crore net on its opening day. With the ₹75 crore opening, the Pawan Kalyan film has beat big films like Coolie ( ₹65 crore), Chhava ( ₹31 crore) and Saiyaara ( ₹21.5 crore).

OG overseas box office collection

OG has done exceptionally well overseas as well, earning $3 million ( ₹26 crore) with just paid premieres in North America. This will ensure a stellar opening day collection for the film. It is almost certain to cross ₹150 crore in worldwide box office collections on day 1. It is almost certain to be in the top 10 of the biggest openings for an Indian film. But just how high it goes in that list will be determined by the end of Thursday.
