OG Box Office: Profits in ROI/Overseas – Losses in Telugu States
Not only in Nizam and Ceeded, but the film sees losses in Andhra (6 territories) as well. Uttarandhra rights are valued at around 20 Cr, and the closing share is around 16 Cr. The Guntur district closing share is around 10.6 Cr, whereas rights are valued at around 13 Cr.

Krishna District’s share is around 9.7 Cr, whereas break-even is close to 11 Cr.

OG – The Biggest Grosser in Pawan Kalyan’s Career
With this, OG ended up as a loss venture in all areas in Telugu states and, with a recovery of 80-90%, ended up with an average status overall. The film sees good profits overseas and ROI.
OG is the biggest grosser in Pawan Kalyan’s career by a big margin, but due to record theatrical prices, it did not get a huge response from families like Attarintiki Daredi or Gabbar Singh, which limited it to a section of audiences.
However, Pawan Kalyan’s stardom plays a crucial role in seeing huge numbers for the content the film had.
