OG has not just become Pawan’s highest-grossing film in his career; it’s also his first ₹200 crore film. According to Sacnilk, the Telugu film collected ₹121.70 crore net in India by Saturday. Adding to that the ₹55 crore collection from overseas, the film had a total worldwide haul of ₹200.85 crore by Saturday.

It beat the collections of Ram Charan’s Game Changer, which made ₹186.25 crore in its lifetime and Salman Khan’s Sikandar, which made ₹184.6 crore. OG is now the second-highest-grossing Telugu film after Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which made ₹255.2 crore worldwide.

For the unversed, OG had the advantage of pricing tickets at ₹1000 in Andhra Pradesh and ₹800 in Telangana for the film’s premieres on the evening of 24 September. They have also been granted permission to hike ticket prices by ₹100 and more on the first ten days of release.

Tickets abroad have also been priced at hiked rates, ensuring that the film has a good haul before it sees an expected dip during the weekdays.
