OG Day 1 Collection & Advance Booking
Advance Booking & Premiere Figures OG Movie

Official / Estimated Day 1 Collections OG Movie
As per Box Office tracking site Sacnilk, OG collected:
- Gross: ₹84.86 crore (worldwide)
- Net: ₹70.75 crore (India net) Sacnilk
Other sources and trade reports report higher figures — in some cases stating OG’s Day 1 collection soared to ₹90 crore. The Times of India
In overseas markets, especially North America, the film is reported to have crossed USD 3 million (approx. ₹25+ crore), thus solidifying its status among top Indian film openings abroad. FilmiBeat
Some industry predictions had placed OG’s Day 1 global gross at ₹100 crore or even upward of that figure. The Indian Express
Thus, while the “official” net/gross split may differ among trackers, the consensus is that OG delivered a blockbuster opening day.
OG Budget & Profitability (Preliminary Outlook)
While the exact confirmed budget of OG isn’t fully public at the time of writing, some reports suggest it is a high-budget pan-India venture. Indiatimes
Given the strong Day 1 numbers and advance bookings, OG appears well positioned to recover a significant chunk of its costs rapidly, especially with ancillary revenues (satellite, OTT, overseas). If the film maintains steady weekday-to-weekend growth, it could become a big money-maker.
Comparisons: Devara & Pushpa 2
Devara Day 1
Devara: Part 1 — starring Jr NTR — also had a much-discussed opening, though its Day 1 collection (in India or globally) lags behind OG in public discourse at present. (I did not find a confirmed global Day 1 number for Devara in the sources I checked.)
Pushpa 2 Day 1
Pushpa 2: The Rule had a spectacular first day. According to multiple trade reports:
- It netted ₹175.1 crore in India on Day 1 (across versions: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada). The Times of India
- Regional splits: Telugu version ~₹95.1 crore, Hindi ~₹67 crore, Tamil ~₹7 crore, Malayalam ~₹5 crore, Kannada ~₹1 crore. The Times of India
Thus, Pushpa 2 remains a benchmark for massive opening day performances in Indian cinema. In raw Day 1 numbers, Pushpa 2 might still outshine OG (at least domestically) — though OG may hold advantages in pan-India reach and audience segments.
Predictions & Factors to Watch
- Sustainability: Day 1 is often driven by hype and pre-booking. The real test lies in Day 2–3 drop, weekend growth, and weekdays retention.
- Overseas strength: OG’s strong North America opening hints at formidable global appeal, which could buffer domestic fluctuations.
- Language / version performance: How well OG does in Hindi / Tamil / Kannada markets vs Telugu belt will influence its total.
- Competition & word-of-mouth: Reviews, audience reception, and competing releases (if any) will matter for weekday traction.
If OG maintains momentum and avoids steep drop-offs, a total first-weekend figure crossing ₹200–300 crore globally is not out of reach.
Conclusion
From the data available, OG delivered a powerful Day 1 opening — backed by strong advance bookings and promising overseas numbers. While it may not yet surpass Pushpa 2’s historic domestic Day 1, it is clearly in the league of top Indian film openers of recent years. As further box office days unfold, we’ll get a clearer picture of whether OG can sustain, exceed expectations, and rank among highest-grossing pan-Indian blockbusters.
