The movie "They Call Him OG" starring Pawan Kalyan is a gangster action film with a storyline centered around Ojas Gambheera (Pawan Kalyan) who protects a powerful port business and fights enemies threatening his adoptive family and their legacy. The film is a mix of stylish narration, intense action sequences, and fan-pleasing moments, especially showcasing Pawan Kalyan's energetic performance and action skills. However, it has been noted for having a weak and predictable second half, lacking compelling drama and emotional depth. The film is viewed largely as a homage or love letter to Pawan Kalyan's star persona, appealing mainly to his fans rather than the general audience. Critics mention the strong background score by Thaman, well-staged action scenes, and Pawan Kalyan's controlled yet explosive screen presence as highlights, while citing issues like a convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters as drawbacks. Overall, the reviews describe "They Call Him OG" as an engaging mass masala entertainer loaded with style, swagger, and intense action, but with storytelling and depth that could have been stronger.
