With Sujeeth known for his stylish action entertainers and Pawan kalyan having tremendous fan frenzy, expectations are high on the project and the teasers and trailers doubled them. OG OTT rights have been acquired for a staggering sum by the popular OTT giant Netflix.&nbsp;\r\nLet us see whether Pawan Kalyan creates a firestorm as OJas Gambheera in the theatres and break box office records across the world.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">OG (They Call Him OG) - 2025: Story Review</h2>\r\nOG story revolves around an exiled and dreaded gangster (Ojas Gambheera) from Mumbai and what forces him to comeback after many decades.\r\nSatya Dada aka Satyanarayana (Prakash Raj) has controlled the Mumbai Port for many decades before he gets a shock of his life when his son Parthu is brutally murdered when he tries to stop a shipment. At first, it looks like a small incident, but things go out of hand, and Satya finds his life and that of his supporters in danger.&nbsp;\r\nWhat is the reason behind Satya Dada\'s Son\'s killing, what is in the ship and why dreaded gangster Omi Bhau (Emraan Hashmi) is interested and what connection Satya Dada and OG aka Ojas Gambheera (Pawan Kalyan) from the quest of the narration in which Kanmani (Priyanka Arul Mohan) Arjun (Arjun Das), Geeta (Sriya Reddy), Dharani (Subhalekha Sudhakar), Deera (Harish Utthaman) Minister&nbsp; brother Jimmy (Sudev Nair), Minister Mirajkar (Tej Sapru), Police Officer Tawade (Abhimanyu Singh) played the interesting part of the narration.&nbsp;\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Pawan Kalyan\'s OG Movie: Artists Review</h2>\r\nPawan Kalyan looked extremely stylish and vintage on the screen and it is a treat to watch him in this manner not only fans but also to the movie lovers. He showed intense expressions and screen presence and the body language is captivating. He showcased his martial arts skills and also enacted breathtaking action sequences with ease to leave all stunned and shocked. He expressed himself through his eyes and emoted well and delivered powerful dialogues.\r\nEmraan Hashmi made his entry into Tollywood with this film. He made a stylish entry and expressed himself quite well on the screen. However he should have got more screen presence and dialogues.\r\nSriya Reddy performed an important and emotional role.She with her screen presence and dialogue delivery added value to the proceedings. Priyanka Arul Mohan played a role of a traditional house wife. She is ok with her performance and played a pivotal role in taking the story forward. Prakash Raj performed his role accordingly and he did what was required of him. He showed good feelings as the Satya&nbsp; Dada who ruled and who runs out of options. Sudev Nair did well in the role and so did Tej Sapru and Abhimanyu Singh in a key role. Arjun Das is ok in his role and his talent is wasted to an extent. Others performed according to their roles.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">OG (2025) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>\r\nOG story is penned by Sujeeth. Sujeeth who is a diehard fan of Pawan Kalyan and who is known for his stylish action entertainers tried to show Pawan Kalyan in an extremely stylish and vintage avatar. He emerged successful for most of the time and to unleash Pawan Kalyan\'s firestorm, he didnot depend much on the story. The story turns out to be a routine, predictable revenge drama.\r\nHowever he added many stylish scenes, action sequences, and also satisfied fans elevating Pawan Kalyan\'s heroism to new heights showcasing his forgotten martial arts. He starts the narration in an interesting manner with a unique backdrop and then shifts fo Mumbai. He introduces various characters before the stylish and adrenaline pumping entry of Pawan Kalyan.\r\nThough the story is predictable, he ensured that the narration and screenplay keeps the interest levels intact and the curiousity increased. He ends the first half with a intense action sequence setting the scene for the second half. The second half narration dips in pace due to the emotional flashback but he quickly brings the story to track once again with the current intense developments.\r\nFlash back elements though dipped the pace of the narration, added value and takes the story forward in the second half towards the pre climax and climax sequences which are highoctane. Finally the film ends with OG ending his mission but with a lead to the sequel. The convenient screenplay and no real opposition with Pawan Kalyan going on slashing and chopping heads, looks too artificial and unbelievable and Sujeeth also used many characters to create confusion among the viewers.\r\nRavi K Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa\'s Cinematography is good. He effectively presented the various scenes according to the timelines. They used the camera angles quite effectively and showed the locations in a natural and realistic way as per the context.\r\nThe stunt choreographers A Vijay, Peter Hein, Dhilip Subbarayan, Kevin Kumar, Stunt Silva, Sunil Rodrigues, Kecha Khampakdee, Juji, Supreme Sundar, Jashwa, Parvez did a commendable job driving all the fans and movie lovers crazy with adrenaline pumping sequences.\r\nThaman stands up to come up with captivating music. The songs are minimal and situational and added value to the narration. Thaman\'s background score and the thumping music elevated the scenes to another stage taking viewers into the world of OG. Thaman\'s background music gives goosebumps to all the viewers in a powerful and impactful manner. Dialogues are good and impactful.\r\nThe editing of Naveen Nooli is good in the first half but the pace dipped in the second half due to drags in the narration. Production values of DVV. Entertainments are of top class.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">OG (2025) Movie: Advantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Pawan Kalyan Style and Swag</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Spectacular Stunt Choreography</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Background Music&nbsp;</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Cinematography</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">OG (2025) Movie: Disadvantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Missing Drama</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Emotional Scenes</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Gory sequences</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Predictable Trope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">OG (They Call Him OG) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>\r\nAltogether, OG turns out to be Pawan Kalyan powerful action feast in the recent past. Director Sujeeth who is a diehard fan of Pawan Kalyan, waited patiently for many years and showed Pawan Kalyan in a vintage avatar. He showed him in a stylish avatar and also highlighted his martial arts blending it splendidly to the storyline. He got the optimum out of the technical crew with the BGM and Cinematography taking the scenes and the narration to another level. However, in the midst of his elevations for Pawan Kalyan, he missed the crucial emotions and at times he took many convenient and cinematic liberties which impacted the story and the writing. Considering all these elements,&nbsp;Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for OG (They Call Him OG).

Pawan Kalyan's OG is set for a spectacular strike at the box office across the world on 25 September 2025. Already movie lovers are excited as the premiers and benefit shows will be screened from 10 PM onwards 24 Night in two telugu states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

In the midst of all this, speculation is increasing whether OG has any connection with Saaho. It is known that both Saaho and OG are helmed by Sueeth. While Prabhas starred in Saaho, Pawan Kalyan featured in OG.

The recently released trailer showed the name of Waji Export and Import on the board of the shipyard. This is triggering all the rumours. But many rubbish all these rumours saying there is no connection except that Sujeeth used the Waji name. OG story has the backdrop of 1980-1990 backdrop and he will be showing the Bombay backdrop of that time.

However, Saaho went before that timeline and so there will be no comparison and connection. To the top of it, Sujeeth has no penchant for cinematic universes and he is keen to show Pawan Kalyan as the fanboy.
