OG has surpassed Rajinikanth Coolie's pre-sales in the domestic market. Coolie had collected ₹50 crore in India before its August 14 release. OG's domestic numbers are more than this and will rise further in the next few hours as more theatres open bookings. However, Rajinikanth remains the undisputed king of the overseas box office as Coolie did ₹58 crore biz abroad, far more than OG. Meanwhile, uncertainty looms over the release of Pawan Kalyan starrer abroad in some markets as the delivery of the final movie prints is delayed.

OG is heading towards scoring ₹90-100 crore pre-sales for the opening day. The previous biggest opener of Pawan Kalyan was Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which scored approximately ₹67 crore worldwide on its opening day. OG, meanwhile, has surpassed these numbers in advance bookings alone and would aim to open 2X more than HHVM, with the box office momentum totally in its favour.
