Since the pre-release days, there has been a constant comparison between Pawan Kalyan’s “They Call Him OG” and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 regarding the box office records. After the release, OG falls behind Pushpa 2 in Nizam on the first day.
Pushpa 2 holds the Nizam opening day record with 25 Cr+ share excluding GST. With GST the share is 29 Cr+. OG was expected to break this record, as it has huge premiere shows.
OG Fails to beat Pushpa 2 in Nizam
Also, the premieres of the film broke Pushpa 2 numbers by a huge margin. But coming to the total opening day, Pushpa 2 has a significant lead over OG. This is due to Allu Arjun’s film having a higher ticket price compared to Pawan Kalyan’s film in Nizam, and the film also sees some drop on the opening day compared to the Pushpa sequel.
OG in Nizam opens with a 20.3 Cr share excluding GST. With GST it will be 24 Cr. This is the 2nd biggest opening in Nizam after Pushpa 2. The movie’s rights sold for 55 Cr including GST, and the movie recovered 44% on opening day itself, which is a sensational start for the film.
Now, a decent to good hold on the first weekend is enough for the film to reach almost the break-even number.
The advantage for the film is that even after the first weekend, it will post some good numbers with the advantage of Dasara holidays along with the additional advantage of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti.
