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.
