Pawan Kalyan's OG Fails to Capitalize on Blockbuster Opening, Heading Towards Losing Verdict

According to the article, Pawan Kalyan's latest action thriller OG had an exceptional start at the box office, scoring a solid ₹84.75 crore on its opening day and making it one of the top 10 Indian openers of all time. However, the film's performance has been disappointing since then.

Despite the lack of major Telugu releases in the upcoming days, giving OG a clear run, the film has failed to capitalize on its strong opening. Due to mixed word-of-mouth and reviews, the film's momentum has been lost, and it is yet to cross the ₹200 crore net mark even after 12 days in theaters.

On the second Monday, OG earned ₹1.4 crore, showing a significant drop of 66.26% from the previous Sunday's ₹4.15 crore. Compared to the second Friday's ₹4.75 crore, the film has seen a 70.52% decline. Overall, the film has earned ₹184.2 crore net at the Indian box office, with a gross domestic total of ₹217.35 crore.

The article states that OG was made on a massive budget of ₹250 crore, making it the second most expensive film of Pawan Kalyan after Hari Hara Veera Mallu (₹300 crore). Against such a high cost, the film needed to earn ₹250 crore net in India to break even. However, it is now unlikely to achieve this target and is expected to end its run below the ₹215 crore net mark, resulting in a losing verdict for the producers.
