Can Ustaad Bhagat Singh Match the Box Office Benchmark Set by They Call Him OG? Early Advance Sales Offer First Clues

Advance booking trends for Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan, have begun to attract attention, as the film approaches its premiere. Early overseas ticket sales and initial domestic booking data are providing the first indicators of audience interest. With expectations naturally high around a Pawan Kalyan release, the film's early performance is already being measured against his previous major success, They Call Him OG, which emerged as one of the notable Telugu box office performers of 2025. According to data shared by trade tracker Venky Box Office, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has so far collected $234,504 in USA premiere advance sales. The numbers currently come from 411 locations, 1,070 shows, and 10,251 tickets sold. When including the wider North America market, premiere advance sales have reached approximately $255,000, with around two days remaining before the premiere screenings. As bookings continue to open in additional locations, these figures represent an early snapshot rather than the final advance booking position. Domestic ticketing activity has also begun to build gradually. With booking windows still limited across many regions, Ustaad Bhagat Singh reportedly sold around 14,690 tickets within 24 hours on BookMyShow as of March 15, suggesting a steady start in early pre-release demand. The early numbers inevitably invite comparison with They Call Him OG, which set a strong commercial benchmark for Pawan Kalyan in 2025. The film concluded its theatrical run with ₹230 crore India Gross, ₹189 crore India Net, and ₹65 crore from overseas markets, taking its worldwide gross to approximately ₹295 crore. The film was ultimately declared a Hit and went on to become Pawan Kalyan's career-best grosser at the time. North America played a particularly important role in the success of They Call Him OG. The film finished its run with $5.596 million (₹49.24 crore) in the region, including $5.319 million (₹46.80 crore) from the United States and $277,000 (₹2.44 crore) from Canada. In terms of language performance, the Telugu version accounted for $5.554 million, while the Hindi version contributed about $42,000. These numbers placed the film among the Top 8 highest-grossing Telugu films of all time in North America, with the Telugu version ranking Top 7 among Telugu-language releases in the territory. Ahead of its release, the film's theatrical business has been closed across territories. In the Telugu states, the total business stands at around ₹106 crore, including GST, with the Uttarandhra territory contributing significantly to the Andhra deals. Outside the Telugu states, the film has reportedly secured ₹8.5 crore in the Rest of India, while overseas rights are valued at approximately ₹12.5 crore. Combining all territories, the worldwide theatrical business stands at approximately ₹127 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Against this backdrop, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is scheduled for release on March 19, carrying strong expectations at the box office. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead and is directed by Harish Shankar. The songs are composed by Devi Sri Prasad, while S. Thaman has handled the background score. The cast also includes Sreeleela and Raashi Khanna in the female lead roles, with the project produced by Mythri Movie Makers. However, the box office landscape for Ustaad Bhagat Singh will also be shaped by the simultaneous release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which is hitting theatres on the same date, March 19. The Ranveer Singh-led spy action sequel has generated massive pre-release buzz across India and overseas, with reports indicating over one million tickets sold in advance bookings and strong demand across multiplex chains. The film is also releasing in multiple languages, including Telugu, after the first part gained a notable following in the Telugu states and among younger audiences. Early booking trends indicate strong traction, with the Telugu 2D version alone reporting around ₹42.85 lakh in first-day advance bookings from about 32,550 tickets and approximately ₹92.16 lakh in premiere advance sales from about 49,385 tickets. These numbers suggest that the film has managed to attract considerable interest among Telugu audiences even before release. With both films arriving during the Ugadi–Eid holiday window and targeting overlapping multiplex screens, the competition for show capacity and audience attention could become a significant factor in determining the opening weekend trajectory. Whether Ustaad Bhagat Singh can match or surpass the benchmark set by They Call Him OG may ultimately depend not only on its own momentum but also on how strongly it holds its ground against the pan-India wave surrounding Dhurandhar 2.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Beats Pawan Kalyan's OG To Score Biggest Premiere In India

Mumbai, March 13 - Even before hitting the big screens, Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has begun its record-breaking journey at the box office. Aditya Dhar's directorial has created the record for the biggest paid premiere day at the Indian box office, beating Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG. Released in September last year, OG had its domestic premiere on September 24, on which the film scored a huge 25+ crores gross. The record no longer belongs to the Telugu biggie as Dhurandhar has beaten it with five days still left for the premiere shows to begin, which will kick off on March 18 from 5 PM. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The spy action thriller has topped 25+ crores advance sales (29+ crores with block seats) for the premiere, which effectively makes it the record premiere grosser in India. As per trade projections, the sequel is heading towards 35+ crores gross premiere in India, a record which is expected to remain unshakable for some time. The demand from Dhurandhar 2 is hitting the roof, not just in India but in overseas markets also. In North America, the film has already scored nearly $2 million in pre-sales for the opening day. The overall advance sales of the movie are nearly 50 crores worldwide for day 1, despite the sales not opening in India beyond the premieres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the second part of Dhurandhar, which was released in December last year and went to become a box office juggernaut with over 1300 crores gross worldwide collection. Trade is expecting the sequel to beat its predecessor's lifetime numbers within two weeks, which is unprecedented and remains to be seen. Stay tuned...

They Call Him OG Ends Its Theatrical Run — Pawan Kalyan’s Blockbuster to Stream on Netflix from Tomorrow(23/10/2025)

After an impressive theatrical journey, Pawan Kalyan’s action-gangster drama They Call Him OG is gearing up for its digital debut. The film, directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Entertainment, will begin streaming on Netflix from October 23, 2025, just under a month after its grand theatrical release. Released on September 25, 2025, They Call Him OG opened to massive anticipation, marking Pawan Kalyan’s return to the big screen in a stylish and intense role as “Ojas Gambheera,” a gangster with a code of his own. The movie was released across five languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — and quickly established itself as one of the highest-grossing South Indian films of the year. The film’s India net collection reached approximately ₹ 191.5 Cr, while the worldwide gross is reported to be around ₹ 293.65 Cr, making it one of Pawan Kalyan’s top-performing films. The film’s initial occupancy rates were particularly strong in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where single screens reported near-houseful shows during the opening weekend.The combination of Pawan Kalyan’s charisma, Emraan Hashmi’s menacing debut in Telugu cinema, and Sujeeth’s sleek direction contributed to the film’s strong audience pull. Fans praised the blend of high-octane action, emotional drama, and Thaman’s powerful background score. After nearly four weeks in theatres, They Call Him OG will now make its OTT premiere on Netflix on October 23, 2025. The film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, offering wider accessibility for pan-Indian audiences.This move comes as part of a growing trend in Indian cinema, where producers are opting for shorter theatrical-to-digital windows to sustain viewership momentum. The film’s relatively swift transition to OTT — just four weeks after release — underscores the changing dynamics of film distribution in the South Indian film industry. Traditionally, big-budget star vehicles would enjoy at least six to eight weeks of exclusive theatrical screening before heading to streaming platforms.However, the landscape is rapidly evolving. Producers are now adopting hybrid release models to capture audiences across multiple formats. This strategy allows films to maximize both theatrical earnings and digital viewership, keeping them relevant in the conversation even after box office revenue begins to taper off. For streaming giants like Netflix, acquiring such high-profile South Indian titles early helps boost regional subscriber engagement, while for filmmakers, it ensures the movie reaches a broader global audience.In the case of They Call Him OG, the timing aligns perfectly — the film closes its successful theatrical run while maintaining the excitement for its digital release, offering fans another chance to experience the stylish gangster drama from the comfort of their homes. They Call Him OG stands as a testament to Pawan Kalyan’s enduring screen power and Sujeeth’s ability to craft commercially potent cinema with visual flair. With its upcoming Netflix premiere, the film is poised to reach an even wider audience, marking a fitting continuation of its box-office success story.

Kantara Reigns Supreme in 2025: How This Blockbuster Achieved Unprecedented Success While Other Big Releases Struggled to Leave a Mark

The year 2025 witnessed a remarkable surge of South Indian films reaching Hindi-speaking audiences, but among them, Kantara stood out as the true phenomenon. Earning ₹656 crore worldwide(As of Now), with ₹155.35 crore (As of Now)coming from its Hindi release alone, driven by strong word-of-mouth, the essence of the story infused every small cultural nuances that connected the audience irrespective of language. Its compelling narrative and relatable characters turned it into a pan-India experience, setting benchmarks for Hindi-dubbed releases. While Kantara dominated, other releases like Coolie, Game Changer, and Mirai achieved only moderate results in Hindi markets. Coolie collected ₹37.23 crore in Hindi, supported by pre-release hype, a high-profile cast, and action-packed promotions. Game Changer earned ₹32.93 crore, contributing about 17.7% to its worldwide total of ₹186.28 crore, thanks to star power, fan anticipation, and premiere shows. Similarly, Mirai, with a pan-India cast and mythological-fantasy storyline, garnered ₹16.85 crore in Hindi from its ₹144.02 crore worldwide total. While these films had niche appeal, repeat viewings, and targeted promotions that helped them sustain for a few weeks, they could not replicate the kind of Hindi market success Kantara enjoyed. Films like Lokah Chapter 1 (₹3.74 crore) and They Call Him OG (₹3.32 crore) performed modestly, maintaining presence in select multiplexes. While films such as Coolie, Game Changer, and Mirai managed moderate collections, none could match the impact of Kantara across the northern and central belt audiences. Despite having pan-India casts, high-octane action, and visually impressive sequences, these films fell short of truly resonating with viewers. Their performance highlights that star power or production scale alone is not enough to guarantee widespread success. To achieve blockbuster status beyond the South, a film must combine compelling storytelling with cultural relatability, emotional depth, and narratives that transcend linguistic boundaries. Strong promotions, word-of-mouth momentum, and strategic release planning are important, but the core of a hit lies in connecting with audiences on an emotional and experiential level—something Kantara accomplished with remarkable finesse. Future filmmakers aiming for pan-India success must focus on stories that engage viewers beyond spectacle, creating immersion, relatability, and lasting impact.

Having been released in theatres on September 25, the film follows the standard 28-day theatrical window before heading to digital platforms. The South Indian films continue to stick with a 4-week theatrical window despite the criticism from the trade and media, as they believe the short window is not sufficient, as it cuts short the full box office potential of a movie. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, alongside an ensemble cast including Emraan Hashmi (in his Telugu film debut), Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Prakash Raj, Abhimanyu Singh, Sudev Nair and Harish Uthaman.

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Overtakes Sankranthiki Vasthunam To Emerge As 2025's Top Telugu Grosser

Hyderabad, October 1 - Power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG continues its decent run at the worldwide box office after the good opening weekend. Having already become the biggest and first 200 crores gross of the Telugu superstar, Sujeeth's directorial has now shattered a record for Telugu cinema this year. On its first Wednesday (7th day), They Call Him OG officially surpassed the collections of Venkatesh Daggubati's Sankranthiki Vasthunam (255.20 crores), making it the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year at the worldwide box office. The achievement further strengthens Pawan Kalyan's dominance at the box office with this film, which has easily been his most hyped in recent times. They Call Him OG opened to record-breaking numbers and sustained decently since that, drawing audiences across both domestic and overseas markets. The film's strong storyline, coupled with Pawan Kalyan’s charismatic performance and Sujeeth’s stylish direction, has helped it maintain momentum on a decent level. This consistency has now placed it at the very top of the Telugu box office for 2025, a spot previously held by the Sankranthi blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam. They Call Him OG has not only redefined expectations for Telugu cinema this year but also added another feather to Pawan Kalyan’s illustrious career. It is quite stunning that despite carrying massive star power, Pawan Kalyan had never touched the 200 crores mark before. They Call Him OG has not only breached that milestone, but is also likely to end the year as the biggest Telugu grosser of the year, unless new films surprise. Stay tuned...

They Call Him OG Becomes Pawan Kalyan's Biggest Grosser In 2 Days

Hyderabad, September 27 - After the record-breaking opening, power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG witnessed a big drop on its second day, but the hold was good enough to make it the career biggest grosser of the superstar. Directed by Sujeeth, the film stormed the global box office with an opening of 144 crores worldwide (including premieres), marking not only Pawan Kalyan's career-best start but also one of the highest openings for an Indian film ever. However, Friday witnessed a significant drop of nearly 80%, bringing in around 28-29 crores worldwide gross. Despite the fall, OG has already overtaken the lifetime collection of Pawan Kalyan's Bheemla Nayak (₹158.5 crores) in just two days, becoming his biggest grosser. The film now stands at an estimated 172 crores worldwide gross, including approximately 123 crores from India alone. After the massive worldwide pre-sales of 98 crores, OG opened to mixed to positive reviews, which laid the foundation for a big start. However, the bigger-than-expected drop on the second day might have rung alarm bells, even though it is a norm for South Indian films to witness a decline in collection after a strong start. Produced by DVV Entertainment, OG needs to gross around 300 crores worldwide to break even. Ideally, such break-even targets should be achieved easily with the kind of opening OG had, but the same can't be said when it comes to South Indian films, which can take drastic turns, depending on word of mouth. OG, however, has the holiday advantage, which should help it score steadily. But it needs to be seen how things actually pan out in the coming days, which are crucial for its box office success.
