They Call Him OG Day 2 Box Office: Crosses ₹100 Cr Despite 69% Drop, Sets New Opening Weekend Record

🎬 They Call Him OG Box Office Day 2: Pawan Kalyan’s Film Enters ₹100 Crore Club Despite Steep 69% Drop, Sets New Record

Pawan Kalyan’s latest action thriller, They Call Him OG, has officially entered the ₹100 crore club worldwide by the end of Day 2, even after witnessing a sharp 69% drop in collections from its massive opening day. Despite the decline, the film has managed to create a new record in Tollywood — and here's how.

📉 Box Office Dip – Why It Happened?

After a massive Day 1 worldwide gross of ₹57–60 crore, the Day 2 figures show a noticeable dip:

• India Nett (Day 2): ₹18–20 crore

• Worldwide Gross (Day 2): ₹35–40 crore

• Total Worldwide Gross (2 Days): ₹100–105 crore+

That’s approximately a 69% drop from Day 1, typical of post-festival day performance in the South Indian market, especially with a Thursday/Friday release pattern. However, the early momentum and fan rush from Day 1 were strong enough to push the film past the 100 crore milestone.

🌍 Despite Dip, OG Creates THIS Record:

✅ Fastest Tollywood Film of 2025 to Cross ₹100 Cr Worldwide
✅ Pawan Kalyan’s Highest-Grossing Day 1 Ever
✅ First Telugu Film in 2025 to Hit ₹100 Cr Mark in Just 2 Days

This record puts They Call Him OG in league with other Tollywood biggies like RRR and Sarkaru Vaari Paata in terms of pace, though the lifetime trajectory remains to be seen.

📊 Regional Performance Snapshot

• Andhra & Telangana: Still strong in major cities despite drop in Tier-2 centers.

• Karnataka & Tamil Nadu: Holding moderately with support from multiplexes.

• North India (Hindi Belt): Minimal occupancy but growth possible if dubbed version performs well.

• Overseas: Continues strong, especially in the US, Gulf, and Australia.

🗣️ What’s Driving the Film?

• Pawan Kalyan’s Mega Fanbase

• Stylish direction by Sujeeth

• Hype around Emraan Hashmi’s Tollywood debut

• Eye-catching cinematography and slick BGM

• Strong word-of-mouth in Telugu regions

🔮 What’s Next for OG?

Despite the dip, the upcoming weekend (Day 3 and Day 4) is expected to show an upward trend thanks to:

• Positive audience word-of-mouth

• Limited competition at the box office

• Fan-driven repeat viewings

Predictions indicate the film could cross ₹140–150 crore gross by the end of Sunday.

📢 Conclusion

Even with a significant drop in Day 2 numbers, They Call Him OG has pulled off an incredible feat — crossing ₹100 crore worldwide in just 48 hours. This underscores Pawan Kalyan’s box office pull and sets up the film for a strong opening weekend.

Stay tuned for Day 3 early trends and full weekend report.
