The biggest highlight for fans came right from the start with the film’s ramp title card, which set the tone for the “mass feast” ahead. One fan tweeted, “Potharuuuuuuuuuuu…Motham potharu…… TITLE CARD kee lesthayyy” under the trending hashtag #TheyCallHimOG.
Early reviews have been mixed for the first half, with one viewer posting, “#OG Satisfactory 1st Half! More of a setup with character introductions, but the superb interval block and PK’s presence elevated it.” Another added, “Except for the interval and title intro, the first half felt predictable and slow, but PK aura in the interval fight was 🔥.”
Industry Buzz and Box Office Predictions
Despite differing views on pacing, fans and industry insiders agree on one thing—Pawan Kalyan’s screen presence is electric. His intro scenes and interval fight sequences have been singled out as pure goosebumps moments. Music director Thaman’s thumping score is also earning unanimous praise, with fans calling it the “life of the film.”
An insider review went viral stating, “Blockbuster is a small word to say about the movie. 4/5. There will be Non OG records from now.” Industry trackers believe OG is poised to deliver the biggest opening of Pawan Kalyan’s career, not just in India but overseas too. Distributors are already betting on record-shattering day-one numbers.
With Sujeeth’s slick direction, Thaman’s pulsating music, and Pawan Kalyan’s larger-than-life charisma, OG is not just a film—it’s a celebration for fans. Or, as one viral post put it: “SCU >>>>>>> LCU. Strike mode activated.”
