Mixed reviews for the first half
Early evaluations of the first half are a little divided, despite the fact that the audience enthusiasm is apparent. A verified reviewer posted, “#OG Satisfactory 1st Half! First half is a typical savior gangster drama so far. This half was more of setup with many character introductions and felt pretty flat till the superb interval block which came out well. PK’s presence stands out especially in the intro and interval blocks. Thaman is the life of the film. 2nd Half Awaits! #TheyCallHimOG.”
Another viewer noted, “#TheyCallHimOG first half review: except for peak intervel! & title intro card every thing is predictable it’s like slow and lacky konchem slow ga undhi, pk aura in Interval fight mathram, OMI intro, Daaku maharaj gurthu aaya Assalu katha ippdu start #OGReview 1st.”
However, a quick rating posted on Twitter perfectly captured the enthusiasm of the fans: “#OGReview 4/5, #PK Intro Sequence Peaks @MusicThamanBGM makes Huge impact and Backdrop Fight Scenes and Story Line-up make Director Best Of Best #Sujeeth A Big Fest Mode For Fans Strike.. #TheyCallHimOG #OG.”
Emraan Hashmi appears as menacing villain
Emraan Hashmi, who makes his Telugu debut with OG as the dangerous antagonist Omi Bhav, heightens the suspense. Reviewer Umair Sandhu wrote, “It’s the power-packed, bloody mass thriller of 2025 It’s a solid combo. But Emraan Hashmi is the show stopper! He has done a fantastic job.” He rated the film 3.5/5.
Fans have already dubbed OG one of the year’s greatest mass productions, with Pawan Kalyan’s Ojas Gambhira vs Emraan Hashmi’s Omi Bhav. The outstanding cast is completed by Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, Shriya Reddy, and Subhaleka Sudhakar.
