OG Box Office Collection Day 11: Pawan Kalyan’s latest action thriller, They Call Him OG, continues its strong run at the box office, emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025. Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Entertainment, the film stars Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi, and Priyanka Mohan in the lead roles. It hit cinemas on 25th September 2025 and, despite mixed reviews, has performed impressively both in India and overseas.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, as of Day 11 (October 5), the film earned around Rs 4.35 crore, maintaining good occupancy levels, particularly in Hyderabad, Vizag, and Bengaluru. Hyderabad had 453 shows with 30% occupancy, while Vizag had 59.25%, and Bengaluru had 33.75%. With this the gangster drama has collected Rs 178.65 crore net in India and another Rs 64.60 crore from overseas, taking its worldwide total to Rs 278 crore in just ten days. With this, They Call Him OG has surpassed the earnings of Anil Ravipudi’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which previously held the top spot with Rs 255.2 crore. The film is now inching closer to the Rs 300 crore mark, a feat achieved by very few Telugu movies.
Meanwhile, DVV Entertainment officially confirmed the milestone on X (formerly Twitter) by sharing a celebratory poster that read, “#OG is the highest grossing Telugu Film of 2025.” They also quoted the movie’s title song lyrics in their post: “Alalika Kadhalaka Bhayapadele… Kshanakshanamoka Thala Thegi Padele… Pralayamu Yedhuruga Nilabadele.. Meti Dhaatiki Lokam Hadale…” Made on a budget of Rs 200–250 crore, They Call Him OG has already recovered its production cost. Although it has not yet entered the list of the top ten highest-grossing Telugu films of all time, it is close to overtaking titles like HanuMan (Rs 295 crore) and Pushpa: The Rise (Rs 350 crore).
