In 2025, They Call Him OG made the most money at the box office of any Indian movie in the area, bringing in USD 3.13 million. This movie made more money than the last top earner, Coolie, which starred Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj and made $3.04 million on its first day in theaters. In comparison, Pawan Kalyan's last movie, Hari Hara Veer Mallu, only generated a little over $1 million in North America.

After that, the momentum kept going. The movie made an extra $540,000 on Day 1, increasing its total to $3.67 million. Even though the final numbers aren't in yet, early estimates for Day 2 reveal that collections have now passed USD 435K, bringing the total to over USD 4 million.
