Trolled at 100 Cr: Pawan Kalyan Roars with 150 Cr Share

Pawan Kalyan is one of the top heroes of Telugu cinema. Due to many reasons, the star could not show his full box office potential with his recent films, but now, his latest film, OG, creates several records in his career, from 100 Cr to 150 Cr Share. 

After a good 1st week, Pawan Kalyan’s OG sees a jump in collections today due to the holiday advantage, and the jump needs to be much bigger during the weekend to reach breakeven status in Telugu States.

OG is continuously creating new benchmarks for Pawan Kalyan, who did not even have a 100 Cr share film till now and has reached the 150 Cr share mark with the film OG.

Due to his political career, the actor had to take movies with some mistimed schedules and continuous remakes, which resulted in not-so-solid box office results for him. On social media netizens always put logic aside and troll PK for not having a 100 Cr share film.

Now Pawan Kalyan hits back at them with OG, as the film joins the 100 Cr share in 2 days, and on the 8th day, today, it is all set to join the 150 Cr share club. The film is now heading towards a 175 Cr share milestone.

OG is the 10th film to do 150 Cr share in the Telugu film industry. Baahubali started this club, which was followed by Baahubali 2, Ala Vaikunthapuuramlo, RRR, Salaar, Kalki, Devara, Pushpa 2, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, and the latest OG.

Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office: 1000 Cr Out of Reach

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 releases today in theaters, and the film opens with positive WOM and reviews. The box office calculations are already on, but the film reaching 1000 Cr looks out of reach now.

The numbers are coming good in all 5 languages, such as Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. But the opening numbers of this periodic action drama are nowhere near those of KGF-2 due to low pre-release buzz and advances.

Nowadays, big Pan-India films are joining the 1000 Cr club. Films like Baahubali-2, RRR, Pushpa-2, KGF-2, and Kalki 2898 AD have already joined this club. A few months ago, there were the same expectations on Kantara’s prequel, and everyone thought it would easily join this magical club.

But somehow the movie did not carry the anticipated buzz, as the trailer did not work massively for all language audiences. Now even though WOM is positive, reaching 1000 Cr looks impossible for Kantara Chapter 1. 

The advances for the weekend are not that big in all languages, including overseas. It will definitely have a good weekend but not on the KGF-2 level. The trade expects the film to do around 600 – 700 Cr, and we need to wait and see how it goes. 

But at any maximum possibility calculation, 1000 Cr seems out of reach for Rishab Shetty’s directorial, as such huge momentum is not present for the film among audiences.

Lokah Creates an Epic Milestone in Kerala Box Office


Lokah: Chapter 1 Chandra continues to rewrite records at the Kerala box office, and it has made history by becoming the first movie to cross 50,000 shows in Kerala, marking a major milestone for Malayalam cinema. 

Presented by Dulquer Salmaan and directed by Dominic Arun, the film blends action elements with a gripping storyline. Produced by Wayfarer Films, the movie showcases a strong female lead, a superhero who has an intriguing backstory.

The film, Lokah, creates new benchmarks for Mollywood even after a 5-week theatrical run, and the film has collected 116 Cr gross in Kerala, and it is all set to become no. 1 grosser by this weekend.

If we come to the worldwide numbers, the movie’s gross is close to around 295 Cr, and it is all set to achieve the magical 300 Cr milestone.

The film’s success reflects its powerful storytelling and dynamic performances, resonating strongly with audiences across Kerala. With its stunning visuals and adrenaline-pumping action, Lokah has carved a unique space in Indian cinema.

Idli Kadai: Loved in Tamil, Rejected in Telugu

Dhanush’s latest directorial, Idli Kadai, released in theaters yesterday, and the film received negative WOM and reviews from Telugu audiences, while it gathered a positive response in its homeland, Tamil Nadu.

The film did not see any openings in the Telugu version, Idli Kottu, and a less than 1 Cr start in Telugu states indicates that it faced an outright rejection and will not do any numbers further as well.

While in the Tamil version, the WOM and reviews are completely different for Idli Kadai, as the movie received positive reviews and WOM. The collections increased with each show in Tamil Nadu, and the film even saw a double-digit opening.

One more surprising thing is that the film achieved Dhanush’s career’s biggest opening, which even surprised the trade.

Today, October 2nd, the film is trending very well in Tamil Nadu, but it is facing tough competition with Kantara, which opened with huge reviews and WOM. We need to wait and see how Dhanush’s Idli Kadai manages this competition.

Pawan Kalyan Enters 250 Cr League with OG – Check Full List of Stars

The latest action drama, OG, crosses the 250 Cr gross mark on its 7th day and becomes the 1st Pawan Kalyan film to achieve the feat. The 250 Cr club started with Baahubali, and then many films have joined the club.

Stars who are in the 250 Cr Club

  • Prabhas: Baahubali, Baahubali 2, Saaho, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD
  • Allu Arjun: Ala Vaikunthapurramloo, Pushpa, Pushpa 2
  • NTR: RRR, Devara, War 2
  • Ramcharan: RRR
  • Pawan Kalyan: OG
  • Venkatesh: Sankranthiki Vasthunam
  • Teja Sajja: Hanuman

Despite being among the top-tier heroes, Pawan Kalyan did not achieve 200 Cr till his latest release, OG.

Continuously doing remakes and his political career disturbed the actor’s career, but now he scored his career’s highest grosser with “They Call Him OG,” and PSPK can score much bigger hits if he makes the prequel and sequel of the film.

OG 1st Week Collections and Recovery Status

Pawan Kalyan’s OG wrapped up its first week at the box office with a fantastic opening day and a steady performance in the following days. Here’s a look at the film’s first-week collections and recovery progress.

The Nizam rights of the film have been sold for 55 Cr, and the film has collected 43.5 Cr in the 1st week, with a 79% recovery in the 1st week. The film needs a strong second weekend to bounce back completely and recover its business.

The Andhra Pradesh rights for this action drama were sold for 100 Cr, but the movie has only collected 64.5 Cr so far, with a recovery rate of just 64.5%. It now relies on a massive festival weekend to achieve breakeven.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG needs a strong second weekend

Pawan Kalyan’s OG first-week collections are out, and in all territories of the Telugu states, the film is yet to achieve a breakeven status.

It has already achieved break-even at ROI with 9.25 Cr, and Overseas has been the best-performing territory with 29.5 Cr, and it is a huge profitable venture there.

Overall, the Sujeeth directorial had a good 1st week with a 146.75 Cr share and a gross around 248 Cr. If we include all languages, the gross is near 255 Cr.

The film requires a strong second weekend in the Telugu states to secure box office success.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG 1st Week Worldwide Box-office Collections

OG had a decent first week in the Telugu states, recovering 69% of its investment. The film now needs to show strong collections in the festival second weekend to achieve breakeven for buyers. Meanwhile, in ROI and overseas markets, the film had a sensational first week, already recovering the invested amounts. The overseas recovery, in particular, has been very significant.

Overall, it was a good first week for OG, with over 80% recovery. The second weekend, coinciding with Dasara and Gandhi Jayanti holidays, is an advantage. The film needs to aim for a big second weekend to secure hit status, especially in the Telugu states.

Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 Review: An Engaging Tale with a Mix of Divine Elements and Highs

Movie Name: Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1
Rating: 3.25/5
Cast: Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, Jayaram, and others
Director: Rishab Shetty
Produced By: Hombale Films
Release Date: 2nd October 2025

With much anticipation from audiences across languages, Kantara: Chapter 1 has finally hit theatres worldwide, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra. The film’s premieres last night garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. Let’s dive in to see how much impact this mystical action drama truly delivers in our review.

Story:

Kantara: Chapter 1 tells the story of Berme (Rishab Shetty), a tribal man who dreams of improving his village by learning from the outside world. The film shows his struggles with age-old traditions and the threats from evil forces, which he fights against with the support of a divine power.

Performances:

Rishab Shetty delivers a strong and convincing performance, especially in the transformation scenes. Rukmini Vasanth’s role feels uneven at first, but she shines later and adds real value to the story. Gulshan Devaiah is the weakest link, as his role and performance leave little impact. Jayaram and the rest of the cast fit their parts well.

Analysis:

Rishab Shetty not only plays the lead but also writes and directs this prequel to the 2022 film. The movie begins with stunning visuals that explore the folklore and mystery of Panjurli and Kantara.

The narrative mixes entertainment and romance. While the fun element is limited and the romance feels decent, the pace picks up strongly around the interval with some breathtaking VFX.

The second half starts off interestingly, linking the tiger with divine powers. However, the parts involving Gulshan Devaiah turn predictable. The Guliga sequence, on the other hand, is outstanding and leaves a lasting impact.

The scenes showing the bond between the King and the villagers are clear and engaging. The war sequence before the climax feels stretched, but the final moments end with great power, much like the first film

Positives:

  • Interesting Plot
  • Rishab Shetty’s Performance
  • CG Work
  • Scenes Involving Divine Powers And Folklore

Negatives:

  • Unnecessary Comedy Scenes In The First Half
  • A Few Dull/Dragged Parts

Kantra Chapter 1 Movie Review and Verdict:

Overall, Kantara: Chapter 1 is a step up from the 2022 version. Despite a few weak spots, the excellent CGI, thrilling action scenes, and strong use of divine themes make it a film worth watching.

Pawan Kalyan’s Gift to Sujeeth

“They Call Him OG,” the action drama, was released in theaters on September 25th and is running successfully in theaters. The film’s lead, Pawan Kalyan, confirms the prequel/sequel for the film in the latest success meet and says that it is like a gift from his side to Sujeeth.

The makers of OG held a success meet on October 1, 2025, which is today, with nearly all the cast and crew in attendance. Pawn Kalyan was also present and expressed his appreciation for Sujeeth and the entire team.

OG Success Meet: Pawan Kalyan Praises Sujeeth, Thaman and Team

“Sujeeth never narrated a story to me. He just shared an idea and a book with visuals of samurai and Japan. My son Akira explained it to me, and that’s how I chose to do the film, and I believed that Sujeeth is the director of Gen Z.

I saw him as a volcano that’s getting ready to erupt. Previously, I failed a lot of times due to lack of teamwork, but for “They Call Him OG,” I could see the teamwork and success of it.

Pawan Kalyan confirmed that both the prequel and sequel for OG are happening and mentioned that it is his return gift to his fanboy Sujeeth. However, he added that he will participate in the shoot with certain conditions in place.
