Venky Reviews (@venkyreviews), “#OG A Run of the Mill Gangster Drama that is technically strong and has a few solid elevation blocks, but the rest is mundane! The intro and interval block are well done. However, the 2nd half doesn’t engage much and gets confusing with too many characters. PK’s presence stands out, Thaman is the biggest asset, cinematography solid. Pure fan service with a half-baked narrative. Just OK!”

The first half of the film is satisfactory. Despite the drama moving in a flat way, it manages to build intrigue. The intro and interval block are well…
ADHIRA (@Adhira_9999), “GENUINE REVIEW: #TheyCallHimOG initially felt like it had the potential to be a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic experience… but I walked out underwhelmed. Not bad, just passable. Kalyan is firmly in his comfort zone with style, but I wished for more depth. Enjoyable moments scattered, but ultimately a half-baked attempt. Rating: 2.25/5.”

OG initially felt like it had the potential to be a once in a lifetime cinematic experience. That expectation lingered in my mind as I went in, but when I walked out, I was left with a sense of underwhelm. It is disappointing to leave a film…
Varinder Sinngh (@varindersingh24), “They Call Him OG is a cinematic masterpiece that flawlessly elevates its hero and villain. Pawan Kalyan’s look is powerful and stylish. Thaman BGM is next level. Pure MASS Blockbuster.”

Much of the buzz also surrounds Emraan Hashmi, who plays Omi Bhav in his first Telugu role. Critics and fans alike have praised his performance, with one calling him the ‘showstopper.’ His clash with Pawan Kalyan’s Ojas Gambhira is being described as one of the film’s highlights.
While some critics found the narrative flat, the majority of fans are celebrating OG for what it is, a mass entertainer powered by Pawan Kalyan’s charisma, Sujeeth’s stylish presentation, and Thaman’s pulsating background score.
