Pawan Kalyan’s OG collected sensational numbers on day 1 at the box office. The film arrived in theaters with huge expectations. The film failed to beat NTR’s Devara Day 1 number but both films are winners on their own.
Devara, released last year, had achieved one of the biggest openings in Tollywood ever with 151 Crore gross for all languages. The opening stuns the trade as NTR scores the numbers with Koratala Siva whose last film Acharya was a big failure at the box office.
So, the opening of Devara proved how strong NTR’s stardom is. Before OG’s release, the fans and netizens had discussed whether it could break Tarak’s films openings even though there are other big openers like RRR, Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2, and Kalki.
There was a continuous discussion/argument on whether OG will beat Devara in openings on the internet.
The final result is, both films emerged as winners, OG collects 142 Cr gross worldwide on day 1 and with 151 Cr gross, Devara leads for all langauges as it had some decent numbers in hindi Whereas Pawan Kalyan’s film did not see much numbers in Hindi.
But if we see only Telugu numbers, OG slightly leads over Devara. So, both films are very big openers, and NTR and Pawan Kalyan proved their big stardom.
