Pawan Kalyan’s OG, a gangster drama, emerged as the highest-grossing film of his career.
While it received an enthusiastic response from fans during its theatrical run, general audiences had mixed opinions.
Many appreciated Sujeeth’s stylish direction and Pawan Kalyan’s commanding screen presence — his best in years — while others felt the second half lacked grip and emotional depth.
The film has now made its OTT debut on Netflix, and the initial reactions from home viewers largely mirror the theatrical feedback.
The buzz online suggests that the response is lukewarm, with many pointing out that OG doesn’t have a strong story or substantial content to sustain repeat viewing.
Thaman’s background score, which was widely praised in theaters for its intensity, has also drawn more tempered reactions from OTT audiences.
Viewers feel the impact of the music has lessened in the streaming version, as the theatrical sound design doesn’t translate with the same energy at home.
