They Call Him OG Day 3 Hindi Box Office: Pawan Kalyan's Film Struggles, Falls Behind Mirai

On its third day at the Hindi box office, Pawan Kalyan’s much-hyped action entertainer They Call Him OG is struggling to make a significant mark. Despite strong buzz in the Telugu belt, the Hindi version of the film is seeing underwhelming occupancy, especially in major urban centers. What’s more surprising is that it has been outperformed by the Japanese anime film Mirai, which has quietly gained traction among Indian audiences.

Day 3 morning occupancy reports indicate that They Call Him OG has not shown the expected weekend growth in the Hindi circuit. Trade analysts suggest that while the Telugu version continues to do relatively well, the Hindi-dubbed version lacks momentum, possibly due to limited promotions and niche appeal.

Meanwhile, Mirai, despite being a re-release in some regions, is benefiting from the growing anime fandom in India, especially among urban millennials and Gen Z audiences. The comparison between a big-budget South Indian action film and an emotional, slow-paced anime highlights the evolving preferences of Indian moviegoers.

As Pawan Kalyan’s film enters its crucial Sunday and early weekday runs, the question remains: Can They Call Him OG recover in the Hindi market, or has it already lost its grip to alternative genre films like Mirai?

For fans and box office watchers, this battle of genres — mass action vs anime emotion — is an unexpected twist in India’s cinematic landscape.
