Pawan Kalyan’s ‘They Call Him OG’ premiered in theaters today, and fans are already labeling it a blockbuster, with social media alive with excitement and favorable reviews. Many have highlighted Pawan Kalyan’s commanding presence and the thrilling first half. However, some critics noted that the second half felt predictable and did not maintain the intensity of the first. Early reviews on X (Twitter) include: #OG – 3.75 stars. This is the most enjoyable experience I’ve had with a #PawanKalyan film in a long time. It’s a complete fan service by Sujeeth, who skillfully presents PK in an ultra-stylish manner. The level of star elevation he achieves is something no other director could have dreamed of.

Exceptional work from both Sujeeth & Thaman 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 — Vamsi Kaka (@vamsikaka) September 24, 2025. #TheyCallHimOG #OG – INTERVAL. Pawan Kalyan Babu, where are you? In the entire first half, he has about 20 minutes of screen time. So far, it’s all buildup and style with Thaman’s thrilling background music.
The interval block fight is massive.— Christopher Kanagaraj (@Chrissuccess) September 24, 2025.
