US Edition‘OG’ Movie Review: Pawan Kalyan, Sujeeth’s Saga Is over-Reliant on Style
They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan and marking Emraan Hashmi's Telugu debut, opened strong but received mixed reviews due to a predictable storyline, critics said.
- On September 25, 2025, They Call Him OG opened in theaters worldwide with packed early shows and fans celebrating with drums and fireworks.
- After prolonged buildup, the film arrived carrying heightened fan anticipation as director Sujeeth's fandom for Pawan Kalyan generated gigantic expectations and Emraan Hashmi made his Telugu debut.
- Technically, the film leans on Thaman's score and cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa, while Pawan Kalyan's commanding presence and Emraan Hashmi's stylish role anchor the film.
- Early reviews show a split between praise for style and complaints about the second half, with critics and social media platform X noting ratings of 3, 3.25, and 2.5.
- Framed as a love letter to its star, the film prioritizes fan moments over deeper drama, with director Sujeeth and producer DVV Danayya driving strong box office/day-one expectations for Pawan Kalyan.
