Pawan Kalyan's 'Oji' breaks 'Pushpa 2' record and creates history


Published: 04:54 26 September 2025
Pawan Kalyan's film 'De Kal Him Oji' has created a new storm in the South cinema market. Even before its release, the film created a lot of interest among the audience. And from the day of its release, it has started breaking one record after another. Especially, the film broke the record of Allu Arjun's much-discussed film 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' with its premiere day earnings.
Record from advance booking
'Oji' was in the news even before its release. The film earned about 111 crore taka in Bangladeshi currency from advance bookings all over the world. In the Indian market alone, the income from the advance ticket sales of the premiere show amounted to about 30 crore taka, which is a new milestone in the history of South cinema.
On the other hand, 'Pushpa 2' earned about 15 crore 65 lakh taka from the premiere show. That is, Pawan's film succeeded in breaking the record with almost double the income.
Surprise on the first day of release
After receiving a great response from advance bookings, 'Ozzy' took the box office by storm on the day of its release. The film's first-day net collection in India alone was around 15.63 crore taka.
An even bigger success came from the North American market. There, the income from the premiere show alone stood at around 35 crore taka in Bangladeshi taka—which is a first for any Telugu film. According to trade analysts, the film's income will exceed 150 crore taka by the end of the first week.
Story and actors
Directed by Shoojit, the story of this film revolves around the life of gangster Ozzy Gambhir.
Pawan Kalyan has impressed the audience with his naturally powerful presence.
Priyanka Mohan is the heroine.
Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi has entered the Telugu industry for the first time with this film. He is seen in the role of the fearsome gangster 'Omi Bhau'.
The film has been released in all the languages of South India as well as Hindi. The audience already knew that this would be an action-packed movie as the film received an 'A' certificate from the Censor Board.
Budget vs. Earnings: Where will 'OG' end up?
Although it was made on a budget of just 30 crores, the movie has earned around 280 crores so far. As a result, many are saying that the earnings may break a new record in the coming days.
Comparison with 'Pushpa 2'
'Pushpa 2: The Rule', which was released last year, earned around 320 crores worldwide on the first day of its release. However, the earnings from the premiere show were only 15 crores 65 lakhs. 'OG' has moved ahead from that point.
In other words, although 'Pushpa 2' is ahead in the total first day earnings, Pawan Kalyan's 'OG' has topped the premiere collection.
According to analysts, this competition is taking South cinema to a bigger place and strengthening the position of the Telugu industry in the global market.
Judging by the excitement of the audience and the packed house, it is clear that 'OG' will remain a houseful in theaters for a long time. Especially the strong response from the foreign market will increase the revenue many times over.
At the same time, Pawan Kalyan's popularity will also reach a new height. Currently, the power and influence of South Indian cinema is surpassing Bollywood. And the success of 'Pushpa 2' and **'OG'** is proof of that.
Now it remains to be seen - how many more records can 'OG' break?
