They Call Him OG Telugu Movie
After vanishing from Mumbai's underworld for a decade, mob boss Ojas Gambheera resurfaces seeking vengeance against rival crime lords.
They Call Him OG has been received as a stylish action drama that thrives on Pawan Kalyan’s charisma and Sujeeth’s fan-centric presentation. Critics largely agree that the film is high on action, technical polish, and Thaman’s rousing score, but suffers from a weak and familiar storyline. It has been described as a bloody actioner with thrills that win over logic, catering strictly to hardcore fans. While there are plenty of whistle-worthy moments and strong technical values, the underwhelming second half and lack of an emotional core dilute the impact. Some reviewers noted that the film serves as a fan-centric homage, with Pawan Kalyan’s presence elevating the experience despite shortcomings in the narrative. Others highlighted the familiar beats of the gangster drama, suggesting that the anticipation and hype surrounding the film are not fully justified. The overall consensus is that while the movie delivers electrifying moments for fans, it struggles to connect with viewers seeking originality and depth.
Verdict:
They Call Him OG is a fan service-heavy action spectacle that delivers thrills and charisma but falls short on story and originality. For Pawan Kalyan admirers, it is an electrifying treat packed with moments designed to celebrate his stardom. For neutral viewers, however, it feels like style outweighing substance, leaving a middling cinematic experience.
