“When cyclone strikes… bow down to the tide.” That’s the warning, and the new intense poster dropped by DVV Entertainment for They Call Him OG makes sure you take it seriously. With a roaring ₹252 Crore worldwide gross in just 4 days, this film is steamrolling its way through the box office—even as reviews remain mixed.
Starring Pawan Kalyan as the enigmatic and fearsome OG—a retired gangster returning to Bombay in 1993 after a mysterious decade-long disappearance—the film sets the tone for a gritty underworld showdown. The storm he returns to face? None other than Emraan Hashmi’s menacing crime-lord Omi Bhau, in a performance that's already making waves.
Despite the early chatter around its narrative pacing and stylized direction, the sheer charisma of Pawan Kalyan, combined with thumping action, a heavy-duty score by Thaman S, and slick cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa, has driven fans straight to theatres in droves. The editing by Naveen Nooli ensures there’s barely a moment to breathe once the bullets start flying.
The supporting cast—Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and Prakash Raj—flesh out the gangland drama, but make no mistake: this film lives and breathes through OG. Whether he’s walking through fire, breaking bones, or brooding with a glass of chai in hand, Pawan Kalyan owns every frame.
The film may have opened to mixed reviews from critics, but fans have clearly spoken. Packed shows, standing ovations, and now a thunderous ₹252 Cr haul—They Call Him OG is not just a film, it’s a box office event. And if DVV Entertainment’s latest post is any indication, the storm’s far from over.
So, when OG comes... well, you already know what to do.
