Hunting for 'OG' collections
Power Star Pawan Kalyan's film is the one that creates a festive atmosphere in the industry. The latest is 'OG', which is shaking up the box office. 'OG', which started with its premieres yesterday, has already set new records in the form of advance bookings.
The fact that tickets have been sold in lakhs in the past few hours on 'Book My Show' alone shows the level of Pawan's craze. Especially in Nizam, record-breaking bookings have been recorded. The fact that the premiere shows were houseful in a single night in Hyderabad is a testament to the craze for this film.
It is a rare thing in the industry to hold 366 premiere shows in the Nizam area alone. All these shows were full within seconds. Despite the ticket price of up to Rs. 800, fans did not hesitate. It is estimated that the gross collection of 125-140 crores is likely to be achieved in the first day.
'OG' is breaking booking records in the US, UK, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. While it has collected $2.3 million in North America alone, the total overseas premieres have crossed $3.3 million. Trade pundits believe that the overseas collections alone are likely to gross Rs 40 crore on the first day.
'OG' has also created a rare record in Vijayawada, known as the capital of Telugu cinema. This is the first time in the history of Andhra Pradesh that the benefit and premiere shows have collected Rs 1.24 crore in just one day. As this news goes viral on social media, fans are celebrating and worshipping Pawan's range. 'OG', which has received positive talk right from the premieres, is likely to have a good Dussehra season.
