OG is easily one of the most awaited films from Power Star Pawan Kalyan this year. Coming after a setback Hari Hara Veera Mallu that didn’t really dent his craze, this Sujeeth directorial carried sky-high expectations. Finally the film is out and check out its review here.
Story:
Ojas Gambhira (Pawan Kalyan) promises to be of support to Satya Dada (Prakash Raj) who wants tp build a port in Mumbai and help the people thrive. In the process, the opposite gang kills Satya Dada’s son and creates more troubles to the port. However, Gambhira had already left Satya Dada 15 years ago for some shocking reason. Now, its time for his arrival. Will he comeback? Why did he leave Satya Dada? Who is Omi and why did he become a threat to OG? The answers to these questions form the rest of the film’s story.
Performances:
For fans wanting to see Pawan Kalyan in a full-blown gangster avatar, OG is nothing short of a feast. Sujeeth has packaged the Power Star in a way that satisfies every fanboy. Pawan also unleashed his full potential for this film by putting the screen on fire. He not only looked stylish on the screen but also carried a ferocious persona. His energy is terrific on the screen. Priyanka Arul Mohan, though limited, delivers a performance that is refreshing but she has a limited presence on the screen. Emraan Hashmi shines in his villainous avatar, with powerful solo sequences. Arjun Das is effectively menacing, while Shreya Reddy looks strong. Prakash Raj is also equally good. The rest of the cast made their presence felt.
Technical Aspects:
Sujeeth’s attempt to connect OG to a larger cinematic universe is another neat surprise. The cinematography and music are definite highlights, elevating the film’s visual and emotional appeal. The production values are top-notch, with every frame oozing grandeur. Ravi K Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa’s cinematography is dazzling, capturing both grit and style with finesse. Thaman is in blazing form with his background score, especially in the second half. Naveen Nooli’s editing adds some grip to the otherwise predictable storyline. Sujeeth could have crafted a more layered and compelling story beyond the fan feast.
Review:
The first half picks up the pace slowly but has got nice establishments for the plot and the conflict. The second half picks up momentum with gripping action, Thaman’s pulsating score, and high-voltage sequences that raise the adrenaline. Despite its style and energy, OG is built on a very familiar gangster template. The backdrop, hero’s flashback, and revenge angle feel predictable. Beyond a strong flashback episode for Pawan, much of the storytelling sticks to routine patterns.
OG is a stylish gangster drama tailor-made for Pawan Kalyan fans. Sujeeth gives the Power Star ample scope to shine—whether through action, elevation scenes, or emotional beats, Pawan delivers a complete package. With Thaman’s thumping score and slick cinematography backing him up, the film is a visual and musical treat.
On the flip side, the story remains predictable and routine, leaving you with the feeling that something more could have been done, especially on the emotions front.

Minus Points:
Lack of emotional depth
Predictable Plot
Final Verdict: Stylish Action Drama Serving Full Meals To PK Fans
