OG 4 Days Gross Collections

Pawan Kalyan’s OG had a sensational weekend overseas, and it was also good in Nizam, while being decent in Andhra Pradesh. Overall, it’s a good weekend for OG, and it also crossed 200 Cr gross within 4 days.

In 4 days the film has collected around 225 Cr gross worldwide, with 165 Cr from India and 60 Cr from overseas.

The film needs another 75 Cr gross to achieve hit status at the box office, and OG needs a good hold on weekdays and a big jump during the Dasara festival period to add to its gross collections.

Within the 1st weekend, OG scores the biggest numbers for Pawan Kalyan in all territories by a big margin. The film will definitely achieve the 250 Cr gross milestone, and to go near the 300 Cr milestone, the movie needs a steady hold at least till the 2nd weekend.

Rishabh Shetty Caught in Language Storm

Kantara Chapter 1 The Telugu pre-release event happened today in Hyderabad, with NTR gracing the event. The Devara actor and the film’s unit spoke about the movie well, but the event created a massive controversy regarding the language because of Rishab Shetty’s speech.

Recently, several incidents have gone viral on social media highlighting how the language issue is becoming a political matter in Karnataka. Some Kannada activists caused a commotion at a theater screening Pawan Kalyan’s OG and created a significant disturbance.

In the Telugu pre-release event of Kantara Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty spoke in the Kannada language, which sparked a lot of backlash and criticism from Telugu audiences online.

Netizens are complaining that the actor-director spoke in Kannada at the Kannada event and in Tamil at the Tamil version’s event.

For the Hindi promotions, he spoke in Hindi, but at the Telugu event, he chose to speak in Kannada. We’ll have to wait and see how the makers or Rishab respond to this controversy.

War 2 to Stream From This Date

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s much-awaited War 2 was released in theaters on August 14th and ended up with a disappointing result at the box office. The latest news is that the film will stream on OTT soon.

The OTT giant Netflix has bought the digital rights of the action drama. So, the OTT viewers can stream War 2 on Netflix from 9th October in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film belongs to the YRF Spy Universe, a collection of spy action movies. It features other movies like ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012), ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ (2017), ‘War,’ ‘Pathaan’ (2023), and ‘Tiger 3’ (2023).

There were high expectations for the film, primarily due to the exciting South and North pairing of NTR and Hrithik Roshan as the leads. Unfortunately, the movie failed to captivate audiences and turned out to be a major box office disappointment.

OG Stops Pawan Kalyan’s Goodbye

Pawan Kalyan has not taken on any new films following his political campaign. He had three pre-committed projects: Hari Hara Veera Mallu, OG, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, and the actor has already completed shooting for these films. So, everyone thought he said goodbye to films, but OG has probably stopped it.

As mentioned earlier, the actor did not take on any film commitments after the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections, leading everyone to believe that Pawan Kalyan said goodbye to his film career.

His latest film, OG, was released and opened with sensational numbers. It opened with 140 Cr gross, and within 2 days it became Pawan Kalyan’s biggest grosser, and it is also having a good weekend at the box office.

Pawan Kalyan will not say goodbye to Films: OG Sequel and Prequel Loading

This gave Pawan Kalyan’s fans and the actor himself a much-needed boost of energy, especially since his recent films haven’t made much impact at the box office.

“They Call Him OG”‘s director Sujeeth and music director Thaman officially announced OG will turn into a franchise, and it will have prequel and sequel films. According to industry news, this is said to be discussed with Pawan Kalyan as well, who is interested in continuing the franchise. 

Ustaad Bhagat Singh is definitely not going to be Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s final film. While he might not work on movies frequently, he will undoubtedly continue his career, with an OG prequel and sequel being the most likely choices for his upcoming projects.

Telangana Says No to Kantara Chapter 1 Ticket Hike

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has a huge craze in Telugu states’ trade, and the theatrical rights are valued at over 100 Cr business, which is on par with straight biggies. So, keeping the business in mind, the makers requested ticket hikes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The Telangana government maintains a strict stance against ticket price hikes for dubbed films. Recently, it denied requests for hikes for Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie and NTR-Hrithik Roshan’s War 2, as both movies fall into this category.

No Ticket Hikes for Kantara Chapter 1 in Telangana

The government has been under fire recently for approving premieres and ticket price hikes for OG. As a result, the Telangana government is currently unwilling to allow ticket price hikes for movies and has reportedly turned down the Kantara Chapter 1 team’s request.

We need to see how the Andhra Pradesh government deals with the situation. Audiences are also showing frustration with both states’ governments for giving permission for ticket hikes. 

On social media, some people are already urging the AP government to disallow ticket price hikes for dubbed films.

Fans Blast OG Makers – Ticket Hikes Cross the Limit!

Pawan Kalyan’s OG is having a good weekend at the box office, and the film especially sees much bigger numbers than day 2 and day 3 today. But fans slam makers because they did not lessen the OG ticket hikes.

One thing that fans and audiences are getting is the team continuing ticket hikes for Pawan Kalyan’s OG even after the first weekend. Even though they have taken permission to hike the ticket prices for 10 days, it’s better that the team go with normal prices from tomorrow for a good hold on weekdays.

Taking the hikes for the weekend is fine, but after the weekend, continuing the same hikes is definitely a bad decision from the team. In Andhra, a few theaters reduced the prices, but many are continuing the same prices

Even in Nizam, the theaters are continuing with the 275/445 Rs rates for single screens and multiplex screens.

Monday and Tuesday will already have a pre-festival effect on collections, and with this ticket hike, the impact will be bigger. The fans and audiences are continuously asking the makers to reduce the prices to maintain a good hold.

OG Brings Back Special Song

OG, the action drama starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Sujeeth, is performing well at the box office on its fourth day. To boost the film’s long run, the makers have decided to add Neha Shetty’s special song back into the movie.

Although Neha Shetty had filmed a special song for OG, the team trimmed it out before the theatrical release. Since then, fans have been requesting the makers to release the song. Responding to these demands, the team has now decided to add it from tomorrow.

Neha Shetty’s Special Song to be added in OG

This move is expected to work in favor of the film, as it will encourage fans to revisit theaters during the Dasara festival holiday, thereby helping its overall box office performance. Reports suggest the song will be placed in the second half of the movie.

Speaking about the decision, music director Thaman said, “We initially felt Neha Shetty’s special song was a hurdle to the flow of the film, so we removed it. Now, we have found a new way to bring it back with a fresh perspective, and we will be doing it soon.”

Lokah Rewrites Records: All-Time Top Malayalam Grosser in India

The latest Malayalam blockbuster Lokah already turned into an industry hit (285 Cr Gross) at the worldwide box office a few days and it achieves another benchmark as it becomes the biggest grosser at Indian box office.

By breaking Empuraan’s worldwide gross, the female superhero became the highest grosser for Malayalam cinema but it did not create the same record in India.

With its phenomenal performance in Tamil Nadu, Manjummel Boys became the biggest grosser in India with 168 Cr gross is biggest grosser. Today Lokah breaks this as it crosses 170 Cr gross and becomes the biggest grosser in India along with worldwide.

Now, there is only one target left for the film, which is becoming the biggest grosser in Kerala.

NTR–Nelson Film From 2027

NTR has committed to 3 films after Prashant Neel’s Dragon. The first one is Devara 2; the second one is with director Nelson, and recently he also announced a film with Trivikram. Fans were eagerly anticipating which of the three films would be released first.

One thing is confirmed: NTR’s next project after Dragon is Devara 2 only, and it is set to go on floors at this year’s end or early 2026. There is a buzz that after this project NTR will likely start Trivikram’s project. 

NTR to start Nelson’s film in 2027

Since Nelson will be occupied with Jailer 2 until June or July next year, he will need additional time to finish the pre-production and script work for the NTR film. As a result, the Nelson project is expected to begin filming in 2027.

This suggests that among his three committed films after Dragon, NTR will probably take on Devara 2 first, then the Trivikram project in 2026, and finally collaborate with Nelson Dilipkumar in 2027.

OG AP Buyers Carrying the Biggest Risk

OG AP Buyers Carrying the Biggest Risk

OG, Pawan Kalyan’s latest action drama, has already achieved breakeven overseas, and the film is already in profits, and in Nizam, it has recovered 65% in 3 days. But coming to AP Buyers, they are carrying the biggest risk for OG.

The Nizam recovery will be more than 70% for the first weekend, and a decent hold for the film is enough to go close to break-even. That is why Andhra Pradesh buyers are carrying huge risk with OG, as the recovery is less compared to other territories. 

Indeed, the film’s area-wise business happened for 24 Cr, and the 3-day share is 10.5 Cr, which means the total recovery for the weekend will be just 50%, and it needs another 50% recovery after the weekend, which looks tough, going by the current trend.

The situation is the same in Andhra as well, with the 6 territories’ business ratio being around 80 Cr. But the film has collected around 41 Cr for 3 days, which includes hires in a few areas along with minimum guarantees as well. So if we observe each area rights-wise, the buyers did not have a recovery of even 50% for 3 days.

So with all these, the movie needs a strong hold after the weekend and needs a big jump on the Dasara festival to get the recovery for buyers.
